The problem is we have already seen his ballwatching defense all season long so far, nothing changed. I wonder if coach dare not say anything about defense to him. We just keep watching OJ Mayo, Clay Thompson or Walker shoot wide open threes. Sigh!
The dude got the 'IT' factor. Being vocal isn't enough. Has to be someone that the everyone listens to. I believe even during his linsanity days last season, the team rallied around Lin despite him being sort of a 'rookie'. Sorry, but i didn't watch many Knicks game last season, can anyone confirm this?
Definitely James Harden by what I see. Jeremy Lin is also a leader too. Not taking that away from him. He's turning out to be an improving point guard. He's on his way we just gotta be patient. Delfino is a leader by example. Thomas Robinson is someone that pumps the team up.
Have you actually applied for Harvard or other Ivy league admission and do you know their selection criteria? Just ask any one who has got admitted if their leadership experience was important for being selected. I agree that Harvard is not by and of itself a leadership training academy, but their goal is to see their graduates become a leader in their fields, and that goal is reflected in their selection criteria and training programs on and off campus. You may get some more info in this regard from their website.
I have watched every games Lin started in NYK in full and for most more than once. I was very surprised just like your did when not only other teammates but Tyson Chandler and even STAT listened attentively.
Like I said in an earlier post, I estimate more than 58,000 members had already joined CF before October 2012 when Lin played his first game as a Rocket in the preseason. How many of these 58,000 do you think would be from Texas? I doubt there would be more than 1,000 from both Taiwan and China among these 58,000. Maybe Clutch can verify the number of members we had before Oct 2012 and now. Then we will have a better idea how many have joined because of Lin.
One of the characteristics I see in great leaders is their ability to make things happen. That can be through setting a good example, focusing people's energy and attention, marshalling the troops, inspiring and motivating everyone around them, or sometimes it means just plain getting it done themselves. On Clutchfans, there are multiple people who demonstrate these leadership qualities, but only one Clutch.
A leader of a team is some one who gets things done through motivating and leading other teammates. Some one who do things himself is at best a leader of himself.
A leader who doesn't occasionally take matters into his own hands when the situation demands it, is a weak leader.
LOL at any college being a leadership training academy. Come on bro, seriously now. Can you drop this argument, k thx bye.
Laugh at him if you like, but my significant other and I helped a close friend write his application to graduate school at Harvard back in the day, and leadership was certainly one of the criteria they looked closely at. He got in, by the way, and got his MBA there. I don't know what the "leadership academy" BS is about. No one says that about Harvard, or else I missed it.
Can you NOT see the word "not" in my statement? You have interpreted it in exactly the opposite way. Look for it again pls.
Harden most def. People voted for lin because during every game hes yelling and telling people to get into positions or if they did something run he would run up and say something. Lin is involved vocally in the game all the time, i dont think people realize that. Harden is definitely the leader, but it basically looks like everyone on the team is just wanting to win and work together. You see everyone essentially talking to each other during the game.
Every school looks at "leadership". Who doesn't? Every single State University of ____, Satellite Campus also looks at leadership. The point is just because someone looks good on paper doesn't mean that person is a leader.
How does Harvard train its students to be a leader? And give me an example of any school or program that doesn't value leadership.
Zdrav said Harvard is not some leadership training academy. I replied by saying "I agree Harvard is not in and of itself a leadership training academy." It's funny how one's words could be interpreted in exactly the opposite meaning, even when the word "not" is clearly in the sentence. You are right about no one saying that about Harvard, and you have not missed anything. I have several graduates from Harvard and other Ivy U's in my family, so I know what I am talking about.
