why does stephen a smith hate jeremy lin?

[hawkfan]

Part of it is racial against Lin, but another part of it is the "Stockholm syndrome".

The Knicks have been bad for so long, for the last decade, and an embarassment and a joke at times that he has gotten used to that being normal. And so his brain can't handle the change to Lin performing well, and the Knicks performing well for that matter.

This is the same guy who destroyed Iman Shumpert, who has turned out to be a very solid NBA player.

It's because ESPN is owned by Disney.

I don't like SAS. I think he's a walking minstrel show, but to say that he criticizes based solely on race is idiotic. He has ripped AI, Kwame, and many others relentlessly.

Ripping Kwame just proves that he is an Uncle Tom.

How does that make any sense at all? You never cease to say stupid shit.

he likes to go against bayless. i love bayless

I hate them both. They're idiots. Shouty idiots. IDK if they believe what they say or the just have their shtick/character that they have to keep to. But I know that I dislike them and can only damage the iq of those who listen to them.

Smith just saying what he says to get a reaction. I don't think he's being overly criticial because Lin's asian, you never see him ripping Yi Jianlian and Yi's been a huge bust considering he was a lottery pick and he had all this hype surrounding him coming in from China.

[Go Getter]

what show is he on? gotta check out wut SAS is saying

lets be real about something. If lin was black, SAS be preaching and waxing poetics about how great it is a black harvard graduate is doing it in the NBA, smart and ballin. He be talking about what a TRAVESTy it was that he wasn't drafted how it has be rooted in some racism against the intellectual black man

but lin aint black tho

You crazy

Since when has Lin performed well (7-37 vs the last two good teams)? He had a few good games but his last few were pretty bad. I'd say he's played average to good but saying someone is racist for not liking Lin's game is absurd.

[GOBB]

What exactly did he say? I've seen him support Lin during the whole "Linsanity" craze. If he is ripping him? Maybe, maybe its because Lin isnt performing as magnificent as people were screaming earlier? Hard to comment without any quotes, soundbites because I've heard SAS on First Take talk about Lin. Never got the feeling he hated Jeremy Lin.

He doesnt care much for Tebow because as a QB he's inaccurate and yet people dont care and believe some divine intervention happens to make everyone play better.

I saw a 1-11 (Miami) and a 6-16 (Boston). That's a 7-27. In other words, a typical Kobe shooting night against two really good defensive teams on the road.

You should have seen the glee on Stephen A Smith's face when Lin went 1-11 against the Heat. I swear he was about to have an orgasm.

What does Kobe have to do with this conversation? We are talking about Lin.

STFU, GTFOH and take your lame sock account with you.

[Sarcastic]

Have you seen how bad the other team's point guards have been doing lately?

Tony Parker 32 points/6 assists
Jason Kidd 15 points/6 assists Season high points for Kidd
Rondo 18/17/20
Kyrie Irving 22/3/7
Teague 18 points
D-Will 38/4/6
