Rockets Dis Jeremy Lin and Asian Community


(image credit)

NBC Sports asked Do you feel the latest move by the +Houston Rockets was disrespectful to Jeremy Lin? and I commented: 

Yes, of course, the Rockets dissed Jeremy Lin! They disregarded him, they dismissed him, and they disavowed him. There is no question that Carmelo is the better player, and I'm sure Jeremy himself would agree. But the Rockets totally mishandled this: (a) Carmelo is more likely to stay with the Knicks (or maybe go with the Bulls) anyway, and (b) the Rockets also dissed the Asian community! 

You see, I even channeled my inner Stephen A. Smith with my alliteration.

Thank you for reading, and let me know what you think!
