    Lin Faints!:grin:

    Say what you will about his shooting, but Bob Sura was a tough mutha...he made a lasting impression in his short time here for a reason.

    One of my all-time favorites.

    Lin is an elite passer in a way that Sura wasn't. Sura certainly had some fire to him that Lin could use (though Lin is SUPER underrated in this area, he's a feisty defender).

    People saying that Lin doesn't stack up to Bobby are just fooling themselves with nostalgia. Yeah, we get that all the LOFs are super annoying (trust me, I agree), but let's not hate on Lin himself because of it. Lin is going through a shooting slump for the first eight games of the season, hardly a referendum on the rest of his career. He is miles ahead of Sura in potential Loved Bobby, but Lin is a special player.

    Lin needs to get laid. He is doing everything well except scoring.

    Exactly. Bobby Sura was a huge pudman. Slammin smoke shows on the reg. Linsanity on the other hand has a micro.

    Very comparable. Agreed, op.
    The Sura + Cassell backcourt @ FSU was fun to watch, as well as their respective careers with the Rox.

    Sura sucked - 8.4 / 3.8 / 3.4 career averages. 41% shooting.
