Why would he be talked about? Did he go undrafted? Get cut by two teams? Get sent to the D-League twice? A 4th string PG a couple of weeks ago? Snubbed his entire life? Practically destined as a 12th man? Its not that Lin is that good but that he completely blew pass what little expectation everyone had of him. Hollywood couldn't write a better script.
Still, it is ridiculous how much attention he's getting simply because he plays for NY. Front page of espn? Never would happen if he had double the stats and played for a team like the Bucks or Kings. Stats for last 10 games... 14.1 PPG 53.8% Shooting 5.7 APG 2.7 RPG I hope he does well and I like him as a player. These are not "the next big thing to push after a superbowl" numbers. It's not his fault for the attention but hope it doesn't get to his head.
those stats are extremely skewed. why would you post his stats for the last 10 games when he's only played considerable and meaningful minutes in the last 3 games?
Awful caller on 610 just now blaming Morey for giving up on Line and Novak. LOL. I how this idiot it's on this board and owns up to this call. Where are you, Eric?
You sorta prove my point. 3 games in and he's "Linsanity"? You don't think people are jumping the gun here? Like I said, I really like the guy. Seems like a genuine hard working guy who's getting the fruits of his labor. Just more calling out espn with the front page crap than anything else.
This is East Coast Bias in a nutshell. Chris Broussard spits ECB like its venom. The first paragraph in this article is terrible. Saying two mediocre teams cut Lin is a huge slap in the face when one team, Rockets, are 16-11. What in Gods name are the Knicks. Why elevate a bad team and put down a good team. Especially since there was no way he was gonna beat out Goran for the backup. Here is the link! http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7561351/is-new-york-knicks-jeremy-lin-real-nba
Not to pour cold water over your head, but the Rox is a mediocre team. We're on the fringe of the playoffs. We're not a top 5 team in our conference but we're not at the bottom either. We don't have any real superstars. That is the definition of mediocre. I think Rox fans need to come to grips with the fact that the Rox is a very average team...nothing special but not the worst
I am pretty sure if a Buck or King averaged 50 ppg and 16 apg leading them to victory in the first three games he played with significant playing time, they would get the front page of ESPN.
Maybe my doppelganger !!! BWAHAHAAHHA...no not me......interviewing for a new position today....startup game company...no time for trivial matters like that. DD

Sooo Why does Lin blowing up have anything to do with Morey? Isn't it revenge on the GSW?? After all they're the ones who cut him in the first place... We just picked him up for a little while [smart pickup for depth] but unfortunately couldn't afford to keep him. Who knew he was going to have 3 20 point games in a row eh??
Kobe will live to regret the Jesus Christ comment at the end of the interview. We know Jesus is in Lin's corner.
