    Wow, this sounds exactly like something a misinformed, butthurt Knicks fan would say. Coming from you, not surprised.

    I can't help but recite scripture here....

    The love of LOFs makes him such true competitor.

    Also the new research shows that the moon is not the reason for tides in the oceans, its LOFs.

    anyone who is not competitive doesn't deserve to be in the NBA....97% of all NBA players are competitive, not just JLIN..

    It's his quickness allowing him to penetrate, steal and defend. No wonder a lot of people feel it deceptive because he has average pace on the court most of the time.

    Do people think Harden is deceptively quick? He moves so smoothly and effortlessly.

    He's a better candidate for deceptively quick than Lin, Lin sort of just jumps out the gate like a thoroughbred.

    I like Jeremy Lin and wish him the very best in success, but this thread sucks and reeks of LOF-ism.

    lol I'm guessing that it stems from his younger days after being kicked out of multiple practices for having a bad attitude and then breaking his ankle, which finally humbled him to come back and get better.

    Another thing is how he's said that almost every player from the opposing teams wanted to guard him because they think he couldn't play and then enduring racial heckling in college. Faith probably helped him keep his mental stability and guide him in those times of frustration (like when he got waived on Christmas), but if he didn't have that competitive nature in him he probably would have quit basketball a long time ago.

    rofl this is awesome. Level 99. He needs more stats boosted into jumpshot. His support skill assist is pretty good tho :D
