I REALLY hope for Lin's sake he DOES keep this play up because it would suck for EVERYONE to financially benefit except him contract-wise.
It sucks we let him go but I'm glad we did. He's the perfect fit in NY and he wouldn't be getting this type of publicity if he were in Houston. I know he's hard working but he seems like a genuine and humble kid so it's easy to root for him to do well.
He's been crashing on Landry Field's old busted ass sofa. Damn Landry you ain't in college no more. Looks like something not even Goodwill would take. Pretty close to "rags". http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...eammate-landry-fields-couch-article-1.1021809
obviously I am talking about in basketball terms, he went from rags to riches in the court in terms of being a kid who didn't stand a chance to make it to the league, then summer league made a splash, then got at the end of the bench, but athleticism or nothing stood out so he wasn't getting a rela shot and now hes one of the biggest names in the NBA out of no where thats a basketball rags to riches story.
