Rather than immediately jump on giving Lin a pass for whining with mental health I’m simply asking for the whole story. Especially since he’s saying it in the way of pointing the finger at the league as if they’re the bad guy here or blackballing him or something. Are they blackballing him or is there actually a reason why he isn’t getting offers? Is he not getting offers or he just not getting the offers he wants? That’s all I’m asking

      I think the only reason people are bringing up mental health is because the depression stuff and the fact he was crying over teams not wanting him. I don’t think he’s pointing the finger at anyone, or anyone is giving him a pass for anything. He’s just obviously upset nobody wants him.

      I guess I’m just confused what this has to do with Melo or AI in general. I mean if Melo admitted depression and was on TV crying over nobody signing him yet we would probably be saying the same thing.

      I don’t think you’re missing the whole story or anything like you’re asking for. I don’t think there even is a whole story. Teams most likely don’t want him because he’s not good. Straight forward, but that would likely only make his depression worse.

        He shot pretty well in the playoffs. Regular season was a different story lol. I'd also like Rockets to on him back up. Some more defense wouldn't hurt them.

        I thought guys like Ryan Anderson shouldn't be in the league anymore. He's made enough money lol.

          Trae Young set to work on his midrange game with Kobe after USA Basketball camp concludes.

          Hopefully he doesn’t break Young the same way he did Tatum.

            Trae's game relies on being able to generate space and separation, I would assume in different ways than what Kobe would be teaching him.. Seems like a guy like Nash might have been more beneficial for him.

              Young and Tatum would benefit from Kobe’s guidance on getting to and finishing at the rim over his midrange approach.

                Basketball Nerds are already cringing at seeing Kobe, work on and Midrange in the same sentence.

                    How much do you think a session is with him? I always wondered how much Hakeem was charging guys back in the day. I use to think for free. But I have no clue

                      Not sure but Hakeem was charging in the hundred thousands for like a two week session

                      Others were paying 50 grand a week

                      Not sure about Kobe

                        Kobe probably charges your soul, or your first born.

                                Respect to Kobe helping others but if that's true (I understand it's a rumor), Kobe just took that player's entire yearly salary so she can have a jumper.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
