  Jeremy Lin is a classy guy. I’m glad he was able to rise above being bullied.

  2 things.<br>1. The foul incident, Byron Scott came out saying he told Lin not to foul and Lin was just listening to the coach.<br>2. They celebrated and simply enjoying a win as a team without Kobe there. &nbsp;The team was happier and played better without Kobe.

  We all credit Kobe for having a tough and aggressive mentality, unfortunately it was a double edged sword. You can’t be an asshole and then be like “relax…”

  Kobe after mentally tormenting Jeremy Lin in practice : &quot;he just needs to relax 🤷‍♂&quot;

  Lin was a Harvard graduate. It was surprising to me that he pursued a career in the NBA. However, he had to face disdain because he was Asian. It was clear when he played for the Knicks. The “stars” on those teams could not fathom the attention Lin generated when he played really well. And Kobe had to be It, which is why the Lakers lost during the latter years of his career. A great player has to elevate the players around him like a symphony conductor; otherwise, players lose their confidence. Kobe thought he was being like Jordan. No. Jordan had people around him. Sad. I take my hat off to Lin. He did a hell of a job against the odds.

  Coach Byron Scott admitted his mistake in telling Jeremy not to foul, that’s why Lin was confused because he knew he should foul but the coach was telling him not to

  Kobe knew he could step over that line with Jeremy. It wasn&apos;t shit talking, it was straight animosity.

  The problem with all of Kobe&apos;s yapping was that he was out there shooting 35% and was a shell of himself. It&apos;s hard to take all that verbal abuse when the performance doesn&apos;t back up the talk. Kobe was done.

  Kobe always portrayed himself as an intellectual. He said he would’ve gone to Duke had he gone to college, and based on the way he would talk and portray himself, it was clear he liked to play on a “sophisticated, intelligent” persona. I remember in the early days on twitter when he would brag about learning Beethoven songs by ear (that’s why Moonlight in Sonata was played in his ceremony). It worked for him too because in the NBA world, even knowing a Beethoven song and using some big words makes you come off as smart.<br><br>To be real, I think he felt a little threatened by Lin’s intelligence. When he said “sometimes people are just too smart and gotta calm down” about Lin, I thought that was telling. Lin was graduated from Harvard, and everyone knew him to be a smart person. Seeing as how competitive Kobe is about everything, I think he felt a little threatened by no longer being the smartest person in the lockerroom.
