    He's an NBA player. Just not a very good one. Ideally 8th-12th man.

    Lol, harvard athletics.

    Outside of rowing and archery, or whatever 1800 sports they have, it's pretty much middle school level.

    I'm watching this thread to see how all the 9-5 accountants like krxsnoopy are frettin, worried their job might be at stake with local celebrity jerry lin on the verge of applying for the job. look sharp boys!!

    Moronic statement if serious. Any college athlete, even division 2 or 3, would embarrass the vast majority of adults in the sport they play.

    I play pickup bball at my gym with players who are currently d1 thru d3. I know the deal.

    It could also be that someone bet money on a Laker game to cover some kind of point spread and Lin ruin that too. :p

    How dare you make a mockery of a fine and gentleman sport that is rowing. Rowing shall be more popular than the Neanderthal sport that is basketball in the next few years. Good day sir!

    The stuff you do on the court is the end product of what you OFF the court. The problem with Lin is he let the Linsanity hype get on his head and now he thinks all he really needs is the "chance" and the "right situation" and he'll be pretty good again. The thing is Linsanity happened because he was a player who was unscouted at the time, people let him have free reign because they didn't know what he could do.

    Now he is thoroughly scouted and opponents exploit all the holes in his game. What he should have done the past 2 years is worked ridiculously hard in the summer instead of campaigning all over China or whatever. Or maybe he could have done both, less parties and marketing, more gym time where he worked on his handles, watched tape and of course honed his stroke. We of course have no idea what he did the last 3 years, however if you compare a dude like DMO vs Lin for example, we can clearly see marked improvements in DMo's game however in Lin you will still have to say that his "Linsanity" period was still the best version of Lin out there...and that was Lin 3 years ago already. So in 3years the dude regressed or stayed the same, hard to imagine that happening unless Lin was just goofing off.

    Lin fans (delusional and dumb amongst other things) were complaining about Lin not getting many minutes. Well he got 30 odd minutes and shoots 2/11 currently

    As a role player, you can't demand minutes when you stink it up when given the minutes

    2-12 shooting tonight. It's going to be interesting to see what the Lakers do with him at the deadline (if anyone would consider taking him).

    Jeremy Lin with 2-12 shooting against the Bucks which included not one, but two AIRBALLS, one of them a classic Lin step back 3 point attempt with a few seconds left in the game which could have put the game out of reach.

    Maybe snoopy is right. Maybe Lin's idea of a "dagger" is same as Snoopy's, ie. making a jumper up 8-10 points a game when the game has already been decided lol.

    Shooting 28% in his last 5 games.

    Averaging a single-single.

    Playing on the team with the weakest depth chart at PG in the entire league, but a 3rd stringer.

    Complete and utter annihilation. This literally could not have turned out worse for LOF's. Playing time. Opportunity. No Kobe. And true colors shining through.

    You pick the wrong game to lay **** on Lin fans. You will have many opportunities in the upcoming season though. Try harder next time.

    so you pretty much watch every game that Lin plays?
