Knicks are promoting him as "Cinderalla Man". It seems kinda gay for a baller's nickname. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0BYePYQDrtc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Like that nickname too. Lin's Chinese name is Shu-How Lin, which if you say it fast becomes "Shao-Lin".
Overrated? Just because he was the consensus number 1 pick coming out of a great college program like North Carolina, doesn't mean... Oh wait... Undrafted Jeremy Lin came out of nowhere, and seemingly revitalized a lifeless basketball organization that was headed in a downward spiral regarding win/loss, even with two all-stars, and has won 7 in a row (6 with him starting). Who is overrating him? There's no other standard against which to measure him. How can you overrate someone who has never even been rated?
Look all I'm saying is give it a couple yrs..I like Lin but bottom line i,m a rocket fan. Sorry for typos on my phone. But if sulk on every coulda shoulda woulda..well in 1985 we missed Jordan. Man...that's what it sounds like. He didn't fit our sceme. Only thing I like is his size. Put a guard on him like rubio or someone who plays D the numbers drop! I bet old a$$ gary payton could d him down still! And he would only get ten points if that. Lin is likeable, but not a rocket..like Nohah said today on PTI if u ain't on my team..I'm against ya. Your in my way.
