I almost promised myself that I would not blog anything that has to do with JLin unless they win a championship which, honestly, has a very slim chance. In other words, I was not supposed to blog about him anymore as there are a lot more things and people on earth to blog about other than him. However, I was fumed (yes, i'm that affected) when I saw a youtube link this evening of the dirty play that Jason Kidd and Ian Mahinmi did on Jeremy Lin.
I almost put Kidd on the pedestal when he immediately hugged Lin after their first game against each other. But tonight, I realized that he is no different from any other player anywhere in the planet, specially in the slums. I know he wants a win. I would not mind a hard foul. But grabbing his hair after the foul to make sure he falls and another teammate awaiting his landing and hit JLin in the midsection with his knee and a shoulder slam while falling down is totally disgusting. Is this what we call a "homecourt advantage"? You can do whatever to the opposing team because you are surrounded by your fans?
Take a look:
...and the media kept quiet about it all because the Knicks lost.
