  • In February of 2012 Jeremy Lin took the NBA by storm. From barely holding onto an NBA career & sleeping on his brothers couch to becoming the worlds most googled person in less than a week, his story is one of most remarkable the NBA has ever seen. Quite frankly it may never be topped.

This is why the world is LAUGHING at them now. This is also why China is gaining so much influence because China has done more in 10 years than USA did in over 250 years.

    I remember "Lin-sanity"... As a lifelong Lakers fan ever since 1982... I was watching Kobe vs Lin. I was completely expecting Kobe to put an end to the whole "Lin-sanity" thing. However, Jeremy Lin went toe to toe with Kobe and I found myself cheering for him every time he had the ball in his hands. I found myself wanting him to be on the Lakers. When he finally came to the Lakers (which was left out of this video) he was unaware of how hard Kobe is on teammates especially given their recent encounter. Kobe was particularly hard on Lin during practice literally shutting Lin down and ridiculing him the whole time. This hurt Lin's feelings and words were said. After that Jeremy Lin was never the same again.

    • @larryk187
      @larryk187 Місяць тому

      I think Jeremy Lin was really good but no one wanted to put effort into him because hes Asian, but the NBA and many aspects of US history have a LONG LONG history of racism agaisnt Asians. They don't want Asians becoming famous, especially Asian men and that is why after Bruce Lee, hollywood tried to emasculate Asian male in the media. I also beleive Bruce Lee and his son were murdered by Hollywood in order to keep this true. White men especially has been emasculated Asian men or painting them as "pure evil" for a very long time. Stuff like Asian men are R@pist and all that were promoted for a very long time while Asian women sole existence belongs to white men. Even though Asian men make up the least amount of crimes in general. USA is such a joke.
