    If I can have one super power, well... to change the world! I want the world to be a very positive place, so that I can fly around the world and make the world one big positive place. That would be great. Then I want to fly. I've flown before, on a plane... but I would like to fly... fly to the moon... and put the world in my hand and spin it like a basketball... *stare into the sky* That would be amazing *big smile*

    lolol is Dwight high? Funniest sh.t ever!

    I doudt Lin will be playing for the Taiwan national team.

    First, he's a US citizen, born and raised. Pretty sure he doesn't have a dual citizenship with Republic of China. And given his youtube channel, he has far more in common with Asian Americans than with people of Taiwan.

    Second, this might not go too well with some of his mainland sponsors. if those sponsors sees it as a political move. Lin has remained very political neutral in all his actions and comments.

    Third, he doesn't really have anything to gain, but risk whole lot of injuries.

    Horrible interview. I can't believe one of the questions was if Dwight learned any special skills from Jeremy Lin. :confused: Whaaat...

    I think that woman also took what he said at the end seriously. Maybe she didn't understand what he was talking about. It was awkward. She was just quietly staring. I would have a least laughed a little so it wouldn't be so awkward. lol...

    Agreed. I just posted a related article, not my view. It seems like Howard and Lin get along very well and will surely do a lot of damage on the court together!

    However, what makes an effective PnR is that the ball handler has 5 options:
    1. Can step back and hit the open 3.
    2. Can drive to the basket for a layup.
    3. Can side step for a mid range jumper
    4. Can pass to the picker for a layup.
    5. Can pass to the picker for a mid ranger J

    Lin isn't effective with 1 or 3. Harden is good at all 5 options.

    Notice, none of the options is kicking it out to another 3 point threat. You could chose option #4 and then the picker can kick it out but that no longer is PnR. That's good ol fashion post play with perimeter players (ala Dream days).

    Dwight's alter ego, Superman, came to the interview. LOL!

    Dwight...please call Jeremy by his name and not Linsanity.

    But, Superman and Linsanity does have a nice ring to it. :grin:
