Jeremy Lin is in an unfortunate position. He has had a career that was kick-started in New York. The acclaimed “Media Capital of the world”. He was this relative unknown that kicked the door down and shouted “I’m Here!”. Since then, he went to the Rockets. And then got traded to the arguably the most famous NBA franchise. The Los Angeles Lakers. Since “Linsanity”, he’s been average. And because he’s been to relatively well known teams. He’s been given astronomical expectations. And that’s not fair. Yes. He was a beast for two weeks. Does not mean that he’s good. He’s okay. He’s could be a good bench player but he’s not starter material. Especially when we’re in the Golden Age of the Point Guard.
“It’s been so up and down with the consistency,” Scott said, shaking his head. “Every single night, you’re getting something different.”
“It’s tough. He’s expected to live up to ‘Linsanity,’” Lakers forward Nick Young said. “It’s a lot of pressure. But he can’t let everything get to him. Everything he does, he’s singled out more than anybody.”
“I know it’s his contract year, but he could’ve focused on passing a little bit more,” Young said of Lin. “Especially when Kobe was out there, [Jeremy] needed to drop dimes.”
Jeremy Lin needs to go to a franchise that will take him in. Treat him like family. And most of all. Have like 0 media time. Because all these expectations are silly. Somewhere like Milwaukee, Orlando. I can definitely see him in those places.
