The Jeremy Lin Debate No One Wants to Have
By Devin Gordon
The New York Knicks letting Jeremy Lin walk out the door—for nothing—was
the dumbest decision in the history of professional sports.
But let's forget about that for a moment. The words "dumb" and "Knicks" are
so interchangeable at this point that the notion of the franchise choosing
an option with a $15 million downside (the excess luxury tax the team faced
if it matched Houston's offer) over an option with a billion dollar downside
(Lin's potential career marketing value if he kept up his level of play) is
actually unsurprising. This is the Knicks. This is what they do. Let's move
on. Let's have the other conversation, the one nobody seems to want to have
because "dumb" seems to explain it all. No, dumb explains 98 percent of it.
Let's talk about the other 2 percent.
The moment I knew for certain that the Knicks were done with Jeremy Lin was
on Sunday, July 15, when Carmelo Anthony publicly called Lin's offer from
the Houston Rockets "ridiculous." At that point, the Knicks were still
saying their minds weren't made up, and maybe that was true—maybe they were
only 99 percent sure. Even still, Melo's remark was like an X-ray of his
psyche, and, because Melo is the only person other than owner Jim Dolan who
really matters in the Knicks organization, it was a glimpse into what the
entire franchise thinks about Lin.
What's relevant here is not whether Melo was right or not about Lin's
contract. Plenty of NBA players surely agree with him. What's relevant is
that he said it out loud. Bad-mouthing another player's deal is a serious
breach of the unwritten code among pro athletes, which is why it happens so
rarely, no matter how many stupid deals get handed out, no matter how many
franchises are crippled by bad contracts, no matter how many superstars find
their paths to a title blocked by the bonehead decisions of their teams'
front offices. It's also why, conversely, players almost always praise each
others' deals in public, and offer congratulations – we've all seen the
tweets – for getting every penny that the market could generate. It's a
fraternity.
Apparently, to Melo, Jeremy Lin is not in the fraternity. Or at least, Lin's
place in it is dubious enough that he has not earned the omerta that every
other player gets. Anybody wanna try to convince me it has zero to do with
Lin being Asian-American? Because, and let's cut to the quick, Carmelo
Anthony never ever would've made that remark about a black NBA player's
contract, and I doubt that he ever would've said it about a white player's,
either. If Melo thought that Lin was being wildly overpaid but still,
fundamentally, belonged in the club, he would've kept his mouth shut. He
didn't because he doesn't.
From the beginning, Melo has always been the Knick most threatened by
Linsanity, and the most skeptical about it. There is no question that Lin's
ethnicity is a huge factor in his popularity—a bigger factor, even, than
his actual play on the court, as splendid as it has been—but there's also
no question that Lin's ethnicity is a huge factor in the ongoing suspicion
that his marvelous play thus far is a mirage. Now obviously I can't read
Carmelo Anthony's mind, but it sure seems like he still believes what a lot
of people did in those flush first few days of Lin's meteoric rise: he can't
really be this good because he doesn't look like a guy who's really this
good.
(A quick aside: Lin's three year, $25 million contract isn't "ridiculous."
It's a great deal for the Rockets, who get a bargain for two years and at
worst an expiring contract / trade asset in the third. It arguably would've
been ridiculous for the Knicks because of luxury-tax implications, but when
you have the Knicks' contract history to defend, and Jim Dolan's bottomless
wealth, what exactly does ridiculous mean? Before you answer, consider that
in the last year of Carmelo's deal alone, he will make … $24 million. Let's
hope he's won more than one playoff game for the Knicks by then. The
average annual salary in the NBA is a bit over $5 million. Lin's contract
classifies him as "above average." Is paying Lin the salary of an above
average NBA player really "ridiculous"? So ridiculous that he should be
called out publicly for it?)
And then there's Jim Dolan, whose fury over Lin's "betrayal" has leaked over
the last 72 hours into every single sports publication with a working NBA
beat reporter. There's no point in parsing the reasons why Dolan feels
betrayed and whether they're valid. The real question is, why is Dolan
taking it so personally? Lin was reportedly disappointed the Knicks told him
to shop around in the first place—he wanted to stay put—but he got over
it. Why was Lin aggressively testing the market (i.e., doing what the Knicks
told him to do) such an affront? Could it be that Dolan thought the nice,
quiet, devout Christian Taiwanese kid would be too cowed by The Great Man to
play hardball over money? Could it be that he thought he owned Lin, had
made him, and became furious when Lin refused to behave like it? Could it be
that he expected Lin to be more – ethnic stereotype alert – submissive?
And how do we explain leaks about Dolan (reportedly) using words like "
betrayed" and "deceived" to describe Lin over the same weekend that newly
acquired Knick Jason Kidd got so fall down drunk that he crashed his car
into a tree—with nary a word of criticism from Dolan? Jeremy Lin is the bad
guy here?
I'm doing more mind-reading here with Dolan—never a safe proposition. But
here's what I am confident saying about Dolan on the subject of Lin's
ethnicity: he has absolutely no grasp of what Jeremy Lin really means as a
cultural phenomenon. It does not pierce his bubble. It stirs no emotion in
him. He doesn't understand what it means for millions of people in this
country, and around the world, to watch the first Asian-American superstar
athlete excel on the highest stage, and what it means to have that player
wearing the uniform of his team. The pride, the joy, the inspiration, the
transformative effect it can have on an entire generation of kids.
That stuff is real. It only becomes hokey when people like me try to capture
it with words on a page. If Dolan got that, he never would've let the Lin
situation unravel over scratch money (to him, anyway) and petty animus. He
would've sat the kid down, talked it out, buried the hatchet. And then he
would've signed the deal.
Instead Dolan let him walk away. For nothing. Go ahead and call it stupid.
Just don't say that's all it is.

靠,除了楼主,其他回信的人根本没有意识到作者的意思, 其实很可悲。
作者是spot on。
关键关键,大多数美国人认为亚裔(除了印度人)工作认真,努力,比较软弱,不会争
取高工资,就是卖苦力的,所以不是和他们一个俱乐部里的。
Lin的现象是开始打破了这种看法,但是Carmelo和Dolan并没有当真。Dolan认为被欺骗
,就是因为你亚裔本来特容易被摆弄的,怎么反过来划了我一道?
Carmelo是觉得怎么老中能拿这么高工资?并且明显Dolan和Carmelo还是对Lin能力比较
怀疑,因为亚裔没有在篮球界成功过。
姚明还是传统亚裔的特点,被人嘲笑,也就开玩笑算了,虽然大家明面上说你懂礼貌,
其实背后嘲笑姚明的不少,连个第二个大合同都没有拿到。
成为俱乐部成员很重要,关键位置亚裔(除了印度裔)大多数位置都拿不到,这次Lin
拿到了, 就看他怎么表现。

很多媒体提吧
但是非这么扯是有小题大做之嫌
那之前的4年2800按数字说不也可以是ridiculous了?
我想他本意也是说新CBA下这个backloaded contract太poisonous
当然要说圈子里有没有歧视,那肯定是有
但反正我要是记者我不敢写,
最起码的,得把过去新闻都翻过来
确定以前从没有一个球员评价另一个球员的合同这种事
