    I know you're only joking, but there's no way that Lin belongs with this group.

    jeremylin.net lmao, i can't believe there's a friggen site dedicated to him.

    With that being said, it's nice to see that a lot of NYers still love Lin. I love laughing at the knicks and how Dolan/Woody are singlehandedly running that team into the ground right now, but Knicks fan do deserve better, and I wouldn't mind seeing Lin go back to NY and shed some hope for them.

    If only we can get Miley Cyrus on our team, maybe the Rox will move up to #4. Thanks for helping us, Jlin! Internet search finals or bust.

    Funny

    True

    Is the OP a LOF? There's no mention of Lin's teammate who is ranked 5th.

    Props to MJ for still being relevant.

    Wow, all these other big cities LOVE Lin...meanwhile Houston is like "meh".

    For the greater benefit of the NBA, and, fans everywhere, a classy guy and poster-child type like JLin should be matched up with a big urban metropolois like...LA, NY, Philly, Boston, where the hometown fans will actually root for the guy, and he himself can be on the level (popularity-wise) of a Jordan or whatever.

    Google is not banned in China. They just mess with it randomly to make the service bad. Sometimes it will work normally, sometimes it will be incredibly slow. Many Chinese have gmail accounts.

    You need to understand the Chinese government: they want it to appear that China is totally open. If Google is blocked, that's a pretty obvious indicator that the country is not open.

    Nah, i doubt it.

    THE TRUTH is simple they are looking for the cool looking guy next to Jeremy aka Chandler Parsons but because a lot people dont know how to spell Chandler Parsons they just try to find him through Jeremy Lin, because both are bromance-brothers

    How about you pretend that he's not on the Houston Rockets and go to the other city's teams forums and ruin the quality of their forums.

    Nobody is saying that in this thread except for you. All this thread means is Lin is a pretty popular search on Google for 2013.

    No wonder he was the second most searched player in the league, he was nowhere to be found in the playoffs.

    Dolan let go of a potential cash cow. With his improved play this season, imagine his popularity if he WAS in New York??!!

    everybody piggybacks wanting hits from that name, that's why all stories +rumors from his haters and lovers should be taken with a truck load of bath salts.
