New York Fan Starts A Petition To Keep Jeremy Lin Because That Will Definitely Work
You know one of these crazians started this petition
Change.org - Jeremy Lin is the best thing that has happened to New York Knicks basketball in the last 20 years. With Jeremy Lin as the team’s leader, the team won. He averaged 18 points and 7 assists as a starter – All-Star level performance. He has the largest fan base of any player in the NBA, by an order of magnitude. He’s got the personality and character that fans love. He’s the one player the New York Knicks need to keep, not lose. Don’t let Jeremy Lin go – match the Rockets’ offer.
Oh wait a second. Jeremy Lin has a great personality and a lot of character? Plus 10,000 people are gonna sign this petition?? Those two things combined mean the Knicks have gotta keep him right? Like thats a rule in the NBA. If a guy is really nice and a bunch of fans want him on the team than the owner of that team has to sign him. Its a rule. Never mind the fact that the beloved Jeremy Lin has done pretty much everything he can to get out of New York short of telling James Dolan to suck his dick.
There’s no doubt this is some Asian twirp who made this petition. Its the only explanation for how anyone can not see how absurdly bad it would be for the Knicks to match this offer and bring him back to New York. The only Knicks fans who want this to happen are the ones blinded by Linsanity. I’ll tell you what the best part about Jeremy Lin goin to Houston is – its not avoiding a billion dollars in luxury tax fines or watching this dude barrel down the lane leaving his feet to pass. Its that I can end the charade of supporting the Asians and just go back to making fun of them for their poor subway etiquette and their propensity to eat dogs and cats for dinner.
Asian Jesus is not coming back to New York. Smartest thing the Knicks have done in the past 5 years is not re-signing this guy.
You’re getting some play on twitter with this https://twitter.com/netw3rk/status/224972761838268417
Oh and fuck you KFC. Dolan has dropped 100 million plus on a roster before he should just nut up and pay Lin and fuck the rockets out of any pg.
So funny how fast you’ve turned on the yellow mamba. The guy made the knicks relevant for the first time since Clinton was in office and now he’s leaving because the knicks don’t want to be over the luxury tax in 2036. Aren’t the knicks over the luxury tax every season anyway? They paid Jerome James and Eddy Curry farrrrrr more money then they would have to pay Lin, yet you’re fine with them letting him walk. I knew the knicks organization was missing chromosomes, didn’t fully realize the fans are as well.
are you kidding me? Lets have fucking raymond felton go out there and play over lin? Whats the fucking difference a few dollars. Who gives a crap at least with Lin, there is potential for him to become a star player in this league. With Felton you know he is destined to be a mediocre point guard who has never played a meaningful game in the nba but people want him to start! Cool! Jkidd is out drinking his life away! fuck me. this team.
So now the Knicks are incompetent because they ARENT tossing money around like careless idiots? It cant go both ways
“He has the largest fan base of any player in the NBA” Thats cuz china has like 20 billion ppl…
typical knicks fan – “he’s the best thing to happen to the Knicks in the last 20 years of basketball”?????? i know he never won a title but im pretty sure Patrick Ewing was giving the Knicks 24/12 for like a decade straight which should be considered a little better than 18/7 for 3 weeks. the fact that there are even commentors here saying NY should pay him this money further cements the fact this fanbase only approaches Jets fans in terms of delusion
The knicks already invested in a 30 year old pf with bad knees and man who has never taken a team out of the first round without a good point guard with him.
Felton is the man that is suppose to be that point guard? Give me a break, take lin over him any day.
Besides in 2 years who the hell knows what is on this roster. If money is a problem I’m sure Amare will be traded by then anyway when he can’t work with melo.
I wonder what it is like being a Jets/Knicks type of fan. Constantly hyping up shitty players and making delusions about greatness.
Thank God actual games and seasons are played out and filter out the shit in NYC
