Harden's scoring prowess alone makes him a more valuable player than Lin. And calling Novak and Lin the same player is another not so surprising post from [CBL] Thabeet = 2 Rings.
I can kinda see why Rockets fans get pissed at people who came to the boards b/c of Lin, since he clogs up like 40% of the threads LOL.
Yeah it's not like he's on the team or anything. Apparently, JLin doesn't know what his future with the team is either... he continues to be very frank while being in Asia. Latest article from the AP: http://sports.ca.msn.com/nba/news/rockets-jeremy-lin-eager-to-work-with-dwight-howard Someone should tell JLin that D12 doesn't like to run the PNR and if he does run it, it would be with Harden.
Wait, what? You can't be claiming that JLin is even close to the same level as James. Did I misunderstand? It's early for me, so I hope I just misread your thought. James could run point if he had to, and he has in the past. He is a great passer, but he is in a position to score more than set up teammates. Without any hate towards Jeremy, because I love the entire roster (with the exception of DMo), James is a better player than Jeremy in every facet of the game, with the exception of on-the-ball defense. This is only my opinion, but I think anyone who has watched more than 5 games could see that James is an all-around better player and athlete than Jeremy, even when it comes to mental endurance when things start getting difficult on the court. And again, I really like Jeremy a lot. But, I can't lie to myself and claim he does much of anything better than James.
No. He said that while Lin was very valuable, the STRUCTURE of the Rockets' contract was kind of ridiculous. I think he was trying to play diplomat and soften Melo's words. What Melo and J.R. Smith did was pretty inexcusable though. Even if the structure was ridiculous, why would you ever badmouth a fellow player's contract when it generally helps elevate all players' bargaining positions? Melo's legacy will be being pwned by Hibbert right at the rim.
If Lin hits 36% of his three pointers and players better defense, he will be our starting point guard for a LONG time.
Steve Novak joining Lin's training camp in China to tech little guys to play basketball. It's not Jeremy Lin being trained by Novak.
Ya he's there as part of Jeremy's basketball camp, but Steve could always give Jlin some pointers behind the scenes. At 4:34 he says he wants to workout with Jeremy with his shooting, but of course that's just practice. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/58QXkBD3EhY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/sgUQ4v6N4fA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
2nd video was KFC 3on3. This is the one with Novak at his camp. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ur2f7iPwFag?list=UUVMTAZ9T7cG5YIm5gVN6lRA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
putting a number that he has to hit is the stupidest thing people do on CF's, have a look at his advanced numbers and certain shot charts instead of just pulling a random number which so happens to pop into your head.
