    Not to add more to the Linsanity, but the Sports Science take on Jeremy Lin's physical attributes is pretty interesting.

    http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/12063/sport-science-jeremy-lin

    To sum it up, he has a similar acceleration rate as John Wall. He has a faster average release time than Ray Allen (although since he is not very accurate that time may slow down as he develops a better shot).

    The accelerate and quickness is what surprises me the most. He is on par with a player known for quickness and speed.

    They also said Marcus Morris had lots of good abilities and Morris is a bust.

    Lin once ran and broke the sound barrier to prove a science project at Harvard.

    When was Morris given a chance? Can't you give this guy a break. He did not even play full pick up games in the offseason.

    Wasn't patterson in the d-league as well at this point in his career? I'm not ready to put the bust label on him.

    Lin is more fitting to be the one who divided by zero.

    The big question is when will he bust out the Shao-Lin skills and dunk from mid-court.

    Getting the shot off is interesting. It proves that his summer with his high school coach's coach paid off.

    Interesting vid. Definitely illustrates that he's one of those, "not fast, but quick" types.

    The bait... Why did you take it?

    Carl.. did you just Pre-ejaculate that Marcus Morris is a bust?

    Dude GET YOUR HAND OFF IT!

    Your making this thread all sticky with your r****ded gooey post on M&M.

    Let the man play some games in the NBA before you trash him..

    Better yet go watch some D-league games then jack-off on the dude.

    Bring some facts to your BS posts... and wash your hands before you come back.


    zzpot.. :(

    Have you not seen /r/nba and /r/sports? Half the submissions are still about Jeremy Lin.

    I don't go to reddit for sports. I come to clutchfans for that, but recently it's just gotten out of hand.
