Jeremy Lin’s Perfect Response To Kenyon Martin After Being Blasted For His Dreadlocks
Brooklyn Nets guard Jeremy Lin has always experimented with different hairstyles. His latest hairstyle – dreads. This made former NBA All-Star somewhat angry, making him wanting to address the issue he has with Lin’s new hairstyle on Instagram.
“Do I need to remind this damn boy that his last name Lin? Like, come on, let’s stop this. These people. There is no way possible he would’ve made it on one of our teams with that bull— going on on his head. Come on. Somebody really needs to tell him like aight, we get it. We get it, you want to be black. We get it, but the last name is Lin.”
After gettin some heat in the comments, Martin followed that up with another video:
“See I ruffled a few of ya’ll feathers, so good. Take ya’ll comments to the bank and see what they give ya’ll for ’em. That’s what I think about them first and foremost. But that man grown. That man can rock whatever hairstyle he want to rock. That don’t mean I have to like it or agree with it. Second of all, I’m grown. I can say whatever I want to say it about. It ain’t about race. It ain’t about none of that. Grow up, people, it was a joke, but I don’t like it. I don’t agree with it, so it is what it is. I’m having a fabulous Wednesday. Ya’ll do the same.”

Now that’s a Havard style response, and for what it’s worth, I totally agree with Lin. Kudos Jeremy.
