Comments Thread For: Mayweather Taking Heat Over His Swipe at Jeremy Lin

[PACsmash]

I was comparing the plays each player choose to make when they struggle

Before you said you were not comparing them Now you admit you are. Cool.

SO when you discuss Kobe, what frame of reference are you using, one game? 7 games? 100 games? 1,000 games?

Are u really that slow?? U said I was comparing lins one game to Kobe's whole career. So of course my answer would be I didn't compare lins greatness to Kobe's whole caereer. I was simply pointing out the obvious when both of them struggles one will find plays for his team while the other usually dont. How is this even comparing to Kobe's whole career?

[The Big Dunn]

Of course I compare when they "struggle" how is that comparing one game to Kobe's whole career??? I Alreaddy answered all ur questions now answer mine. When and how did I compare one game Lin played to Kobe's whole career??? Come on Dunn show me I'm waiting.

I know how you reached the conclusion about Lin. You based it on his 7 game knick career. Cool, no problem with that. How did you reach your conclusion about kobe? HOW MANY GAMES IS IT BASED ON?

So did he compare them or not?



For one, Lin hasn't played long enough to be compared in that situation to Kobe.

We can only compare what we are given.

Just because Lin has only played 7 real games we cant make any comparisons? OO lets never speak of those 2 in the same sentence? Its not like Smash said, "Lin is better than Kobe when they struggle". He merely stated what he sees of Kobe when he does struggle and what he sees of Lin when he struggles even if its a few games and made an observation.

Guy gets jumped on for making an observation.

Maybe another 10 games later Lin do terribly when struggling, then PACsmash will change his observation. Its pretty simple. Stop putting guys on pedestals. Just because you compare someone doesnt mean they are in the same realm of greatness.

WHen you say Lin does these things, you are basing it on his 7 games as a knick. How many games of Kobe;s are you using to reach your conclusion about him?

Yes I compared them when they struggle. How does this conclude to me comparing Lin to Kobe's greatness???? U and ur buddy is dodging this question. I was simply ssaying even Great players like Kobe struggles damm my bad maybe next time I will choose some white guy like steve kurr instead to make my point.

No guy gets called out for what you admit is an uneven comparison. Then he finally admits it was a comparison. And as soon as he answers how many games he based his conclusions about Kobe on then we can be done with this.

The point is this is what floyd is referencing. Of course floyd doesn't have enough of a vocabluary nor wer his motives sincere when he spoke about it.

Uh....yea. LOL. Lin hasn't played long enough to make that kind of comparison. Seven games isn't enough. He needs more games under his belt before we can talk about what he does when he struggles. Not only that, but, these guys play two different positions. Lin is a point guard, the primary role of the PG to distribute to his team. Kobe is a shooting guard, totally different role in an offense. Now, there are some PGs that are scorers, sure. But the comparison he made wasn't a good one. Not only that, but as I said, there have been MANY times where Kobe struggled and passed the ball. He's my favorite current player, so I've seen that with my own two eyes on many occasions.

But Smash never said something like Lin is better than Kobe when they struggle.

He said even great players like Kobe struggle. WHICH HE DOES!!!

Im not understanding the uproar here.

[PACsmash]

STop lying. I never said or got at you for comparing their individual greatness. So you are basing your conclusion on Kobe's reputation. OK. How did Kobe earn that reputation? 1 game? 7 games? 100 games? 1000 games?

Again for the 100 times when did I ever compare how good lin is to Kobe's whole career? Stop dodging the question u brought up upon urself. Does Kobe not shoot the ball a lot even when he's struggling??

Sorry Dunn, but I followed the whole conversation and you're the one who got all emotional when Pacsmash mentioned Kobe's name in the same sentence as Lin.
