    like ive said a billion times, Lin 1st year > Nash 1-4th year. Does Nash have any haters? Did he then?

    Lin is has a clear perception of his own game. He knows his weaknesses and strengths. I have no doubt that he well improve his game. Nice to hear Harden backing Lin, Houston has a really nice team brewing.

    Nash had his detractors early on in his career. And he was an exception to the rule, not many players develop like he did.

    :confused: Players who are amazing out of the gate our the exception to the rule. Players developing into stars after several years of experience is the norm.

    im with you. Submitting facts to help bring to light the situation regarding Lin still wont stop the hate. Haters will create excuses to fuel there hatred. Lin is good, and he will be a "Nash" "Parker" type player in a couple of years. No joke either, he works hard, and he has the talent.

    One of the best things a young player can have is awareness of his strengths and weaknesses. Lin has this, and that means he WILL improve. Lin will be an All-Star one day, I really do think so. He's gonna get his chance and he will improve.

    Lin's stats will improve, but the most important thing is his personality and play style--very team oriented. That's the key for winning basketball.


    I agree.

    I love how he gets so excited whenever a teammate converts his assist.

    Did anyone write an article after Nash's 82nd start?


    Nobody hates Jeremy. He's playing GREAT. But comparisons to any other player in terms of media coverage or fan sentiment aren't relevant. #7 is completely unique. There's never been anything like him.

    I think he meant that Nashs developement was quite different from any other player. He had such a high rise in his stats so late in his career (partly due to Mike Dantoni style)...I think he won his first mvp at age 32 (this is rare)...

    Lin is like a superstar in NYC. Last night, a lot of people were cheering for Lin and Rockets. They were interviewing him after the game. The clip is on youtube.
