Jeremy Lin details his beef with Kobe Bryant

Jeremy was my brother's roommate at Harvard. He stayed with my parent's for Thanksgiving twice. One of the nicest kids ever.

I can see why he hesitated before he told the story because it doesn't paint Kobe in the best light and with him no longer here people who knew him are reluctant to say anything negative about him out of respect.

"...It sucked because we ended up being the worse team in Laker history". Welp, not anymore sir, not anymore. Also, respect to Lin man. A true trailblazer.

This is one of the best stories I've heard about playing with Kobe. Just really honest about Kobe's ego from a perspective of wanting to win games with a person he had to share the ball with. I also think a lot of players resented the attention Jeremy Lin got from Linsanity onward. But this is a great story of figuring out how to work with people and connect with people during the tough times

Respect as fuck. Man stood up to Kobe that shit takes balls

Jlin is one of the brightest and most humble dudes in sport…and talentwise it‘s an ongoing joke he isn‘t signed by a nba team as of now!

Kobe talked to Lin since he wasn’t a Laker anymore. Let’s get real. Kobe wasn’t able to play at the level he wanted to so he took it out on Lin. Kobe is human just like all of us. We grow old and grouchy.

The fact that Lin stood up for himself against Kobe during that rough season made Kobe gain respect for Lin is awesome. Most players would be scared to stand up to Kobe but that’s how respect is earned, when you fight for your right and not run away like a scared punk.

Jeremy is an evolved guy who speaks from the heart. Not many people talk about this, but during his half-year with the Hawks, he spent a lot of time mentoring rookie Trae Young. You gotta think Jeremy would be a great coach.

This man has such a huge accomplishment from graduating from Harvard to be earning millions in the NBA, not easy!

Kobe is not perfect, and his mentality is not for everyone. But he is who he is and I'm glad Lin spoke up for himself and got Kobe's respect. I imagine if you have Kobe's respect, you're likely doing something right.

Jeremy Lin is always articulate and respectful. It was a joy being a Knicks fan and witnessing his 8 game performance run. Unfortunately he got injured and never really got back to that level. Nonetheless, he worked and was resilient in spite of all of his roadblocks. Salute to J Lin 🫡

Kobe was mad at the wrong people that year. He should have been mad at Byron Scott. Scott clearly had no respect for Jeremy Lin and had no gameplan to win games. Kobe wasn't mad at Scott because they were both teammates. Kobe also wasn't healthy and Lin had to be the main guy because he was the only one who could create his own shot.

Great Kobe story. Not too many NBA players or coaches would have the guts to say anything remotely negative or personal about Kobe. Nice to hear a truthful Kobe story that isn't all flowery and pathetic. I hope Lin makes it back to the show.

Jeremy. Thanks for sharing your Kobe story with us......very touching and allowing us to know both you and Kobe in a deeper humanity level. We miss Kobe. We also miss seeing you playing here at NBA. Enjoy your CBA playing time. No matter where you play basketball professionally, your international basketball experiences will definitely provide further contributions to all basketball enthusiasts (especially within the Chinese communities) beyond your career playing time.

Jeremy is just a straight shooter. No hint of ego or vindictiveness. Respect

Mad respect for Lin being a man.

As a die-hard Kobe fan, let's just get this out of the way. Kobe does shoot his team out of games throughout his career, especially toward the latter part of his career. If you don't realize this, you are not a true Kobe fan. Fans live with him shooting the Lakers out sometimes. You cannot only take the good without the bad. The way Kobe always plays has such a small margin of error. Those tightly contested fade away over multiple defenders. Off balance three pointers. Going through traffic with contact layups. His body just couldn't keep it up anymore at that point. Nothing wrong with it. We all get old. No one is immured to that. Respect for JLin for standing up against Kobe. RIP Kobe my hero

Kobe's been falsely deified since his tragic death but props to Jeremy for being honest about the ups and downs of Kobe's legacy. The best way to honor somebody is to be honest about who they were, to capture their full humanity. Kobe was as complex, mercurial and contradictory a character as the NBA has ever known.
