    He plays pg as well. Besides him there's no other top 5 caliber player on the team... Asik?

    I agree. I think that Asians are the most heavily discriminated race in America today, and Gangam Style is proof of that fact. Also, there are very few Asian American actors, and no male Asian American actors that play lead roles.

    That's why I was happy to see Jeremy Lin come out and break those stereotypes. Go #7!

    Your list is madness. On what planet is Jenning a top 5 anything, Jenning can't even run an offense? And Llilard what the hell has he done he has only played like 25 starts. I agree Lin isn't a top 5 PG he hasn't even started in a full NBA season yet but please this list is madness.

    LOL hey superstar. I have to say you are real fun to talk to. We don't always agree but you stay classy & stick to your guns & are discussions are always insightful. Yes he did use your chicken vs egg analogy. Here is another view point.


    Postgame Live Highlights: Rockets vs. Grizzlies
    http://www.csnhouston.com/rockets/linharden-duo-beginning-heat
    Calvin Murphy's analysis begins @1:50



    <iframe src="http://player.theplatform.com/p/zT2_HC/iEazkwCwmKPM/embed/select/rqgZg45Ipd_J?autoPlay=false&params=zone%3Drockets" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>Your browser does not support iframes.</iframe>

    Murphy hits the nail on the head at the 3:16 mark in talking about the improved play over the last three games with Lin & Harden scoring 40+ points. Murphy says Harden is now 2 guard so he is playing the 2 position. Lin is now at the PG so he is comfortable with the ball in his hands making things happen. Pretty much what a few people have been stressing for sometime. Let both players play there natural positions & you will see more inspired play, both are playing there own game as opposed to fallen over one another like before. ;)

    If you would take the time to read..its about top scoring point guards..and the list I gave is very accurate if u think brandon jennings is bad then that's on you but he can flat out score..and the same can be said about Lin he hasn't started that many games..lillard can score and he's no fluke

    It's funny how simple minded some people are in their analysis of basketball.

    Last 10 Games FG%
    Brandon Jennings: .392
    Damian Lillard: .414
    Jeremy Lin: .462

    It's not about hero ball. It's about making the team better in the most efficient way possible.

    Brandon isn't top scoring anything he just isn't he is inefficient as hell. It is absurd to me. It is the same thing with Melo people praise his scoring ability over Durants but he is inefficient also.

    Its the same reason everyone over values scoring in the NBA.Scoring is usually the easiest part of the game. -Marc Cuban

    And I agree Dame isn't top 5 anything same with Lin neither have started in enough games to make them the best at there position.

    How can you call someone simple minded but your going by FG% over the last ten games wow...how many shots does jeremy take? not alot. You cant call him a top 5 scoring pg when your only showing fg% the past 10 games

    Hey - I'm just looking at the statistics here. If you want to go off on whether or not you feel one player is better than the other, you are free to. Whatever you choose to do, I will still be here, looking at the facts.

    Same with Lin last year, no? (I know he played better). Anyways I agree that some of players on the list make no sense, those players mainly just average more points per game.

    It was a sarcastic comment, he was trying to say Lin is not a top 5 point guard.

    Yeah Roxxy but Sampson said that it's due to Lin being passive, deferred too much, and didn't command respect from his teammates. Sounds to me like something clicked in Lin maybe it just took the Knicks game for him to realize this.

    Again I am not saying Brandon Jennings is a top 5 scoring point guard...these are people who can score better than Lin..Thats what breakmon asked who can score 38 points and 7 assists on any given night...Im accurate with my statement
