I've watched Steve Nash played overtime couple of time. He could sustain at the prime level much longer than Jeremy...
Did you just say because he is asian he is lacking in strength and athleticism? If you did that is a massive stereotype. His athleticism and strength is probably the most underrated aspect of his game. Enough people have said as much.
Thats how the story goes. He hates there guts. He wanted to be a knick so bad. He always tries to light up the knicks and he always wants his team to win. He also strikes me as the type of kid that wants to be hyped. He was chirping on Rubio and Lin as well because they were hyped. Lol.
As a lot of reports say, one of the major challenge for him this year is that can he maintain the level of game he played in the knicks as a starter for a whole season. I did watch his knick games, and a lot of the time he got tired at the end of the games. And yes, I'm stereotyping his potential to grow his athleticism and strength.
stereotyping isn't necessary to be a bad thing, but of course it can be very wrong. And this is when stereotyping fails. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJLioRoBq0M
Yes you are right he was getting tired at the end of the games. He went from playing 0 minutes to 35+ overnight. Conditioning wise he was never prepared to be a starter because he was never supposed to start. Now that he is the starter I expect that he will use the offseason to get his body conditioned for starter minutes for the season. So going forward that shouldn't be an issue, if it is then we have some problems. Can't stand players who don't handle there business in the offseason. I don't think the Rockets need him to maintain the level of game he did in NY, Morey said as much. Also, I don't even know if should take you seriously in regards to your last sentence, so I won't take you seriously.
that was why I said I did expect him to be a solid starter... you don't have to; indeed, potential is already a biased term...
I think it's not necessary, but maybe it is. Some of you should checkout another thread about Lin's potential, and you will see why Morey emphasized his athleticism as the most underrated part. Actually his athleticism is on similar level of John Wall and Irving.
Sorry but any time I hear the fort minor song in a NBA mix I instantly turn it off. Looked like a high quality mix too.
That doesn't really explain how the 2 compare athletically or in strength. Tracy McGrady was quick but rarely started a fast break, does that mean Lin is more athletic? Doubtful.
What does this have to do with anything? You are making it sound like Dragic is more athletic than Russ because of this video. Goran isn't more athletic than Russ.
Yep, athleticism is a broad term. I think Lin main problem is his durability. I used Dragic's fast break as example because he always run and is able to maintain at a great speed.
