Knicks fan here. I was more sad than anyone to see Lin go, but I still have nothing but love for the man. I totally appreciate everything he brought to our franchise last year (revival, excitement, relevance)... and I'm sure he will amaze you guys as well. Anyways, here is a motivational mixtape I made featuring Lin. It's not really the traditional basketball mix, but more of a hybrid. Half-inspirational, half-highlights. It's based on what really inspired me the most about Lin--his perseverance and refusal to give up no matter how many times he got knocked down and was told he wasn't good enough at basketball. This video goes through his inspirational journey with the '11-'12 Knicks, culminating with "the shot" that officially sparked Linsanity. There's a further description in the YouTube link if you want more background. Hope it gets you pumped for the season to come! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WDK6NCsxzo
Jeremy Lin has flaws--weak dribbling left, turnovers and defending his man. That stuff can be improved. But he's got something that lot's of really talented players don't have: mental toughness, which you're gonna get given all the obstacles he's gone through to make it in the L.
thanks for all your guys great feedback! appreciate the views. definitely just want to spread out the word on Lin and his true character, especially because he got such a undeserved negative rep from this offseason (especially from knicks fans...). Hes a great player, and a great person. no doubt he will be great because he works so hard and wants it probably more than anyone else. $8M/yr really isnt bad to spend on that kind of work ethic/potential. best of luck to rockets/lin
Awesome video!!! When Sly was talking it got me all pumped up!!! Can't wait to see him in action here in the Toyota Center!!!
