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

[PACsmash]

Nothing is wrong with either statement Oxn. The COMPARISON is whats wrong. I read this as comparing a 7 game sample against a sample of well over 1000 regular season and playoff games because, in Kobe's case, that how many games he's started. I find that to be incredibly uneven and the part of what floyd was talking about, since this thread is about floyd taking a swipe at Jeremy Lin.

How did you read the compariosn?

No u were just jumping to conclusion like always..

Keep counting, this whole debate was u saying I compare lin to Kobe's whole career. Still waiting?

I can't answer this completely until I know what sample you used for Kobe. If I am correct, you compared Lin's 7 games with all of Kobe's games with respect to "dealing with struggles and adversity" only. You say you didn't. SO I ask how many games you were using. You will not answer.

If I interpreted your original post wrong, just let me know the number of games you were using.

[The Big Dunn]

Then thats what he should have said. Instead I was getting accused of comparing lin to Kobe's whole career when did I make that comparison?

If thats the case dude, then why didn't you say "through Kobes 1st seven starts" or "Kobe this year"? Sorry if you didn't like how I got at you but that doesn't mean I was wrong.
You admit this was an uneven comparison?

i read it as him making a statement on how Lin played over 7 games. Pretty spot on i may add.

And the way Kobe USUALLY playswhen he struggles, which again is spot on. He usually does hog the ball, and he usually make the final shots. Nothing wrong with that.

So jsut because he put those 2 statements side by side hes not saying Lin is better than Kobe. Hes just noticing how they USUALLY deal with struggles.

By your logic since Kobe has been playing for what 15 years we cant draw any comparisons because hes played for so long? Maybe one year he isnt a ball hog and the other 14 he is? Well then most people will say he is a ball hog when they look at him as a whole.

Its like people comparing Lebron to Kobe.

Lebron been playing for what like 7 years or something im not really sure, and kobe 15?

Why is it fair to compare them twos career?

When people compare Lebron to Kobe, they dont say well lets compare Lebrons first 7 years to Kobes first 7. Or MJ's first 7 to Kobes first 7. Dunn youre reaching and its best to cut your loses now.

In anyone of my posts did I say or imply Pacsmash was comparing Lin to Kobe on anything other than how the deal with struggle and adversity?

I only have a problem with what was a completely uneven comparison between 2 players regarding how they deal with struggle and adversity.
