    Like Tebow ... Lin will have a future for some time but better ask for that $ before the commodity crashes.

    You know we live in a world of ..."What have you done for me lately" !

    Dude ain't even done it for two weeks. Tebow owns this kid and inflicts more than an inch of pain on men.

    It will never reach Tebow level, but I have been enjoying his run. Hope he stays relevant when Carmelo returns and doesn't run the good thing.

    Lin has much more international flavor than Tebow
    The Asian thing is why it will be massive

    ^u guys kidding me? Lin has already surpassed Tebow. Giants won Superbowl just 2 weeks ago and no one is even talking about anymore either.

    I love the story and he seems like an incredible competitor, it makes a very screwed up NBA season interesting. This is great for the NBA.

    The biggest story should probably be Miami right now. They seem unstoppable lately.

    The Lin story has been the highlight of the season. Finally some life here after the accelerated schedule has caused lousy games and injuries.

    A Knicks-Clippers finals could draw record ratings

    lin is actually pretty good, it's not a fluke. agree that miami is really really good right now, they really should win and should be the nba story right now. tebow? who?

    Knicks is going to be making a lot of money. When u have china pouring money in your organization/company that's probably every owner's dream. Look at Nike, they make sure their Chinese customers are well taken care of.

    A white holy roller vs an asian playing a black man's game.

    You probably won't see the effect Lin will have but the NBA will via the homeland. China will continue to go nuts over this.

    I think what so many people missing around world is Lin has a much higher skill level vs his peers as compared to Tebow
    Timmy was a major winner in college also
    There are some small comparisons bit not a lot

    Yes. Lin, unlike Tebow, might actually be good. Time will tell for him, for Tebow we already know.

    I dont understand all the hype after a 5 game stretch. Yeah he might be hottest player in NBA right now, but wait to see how season unfolds first before he starts getting compared to this and that. I am 100% sure Stern is loving every second of it though. NBA needed a story like this to help people forget about the ridiculous strike they were on for first 3 months of season.

    lets go ahead and get it out of the way before lin has a horrific game. teblow had his fair share of horrific games and people kept sucking the teet. should be interesting when he does have a sub 10 point night to see what people do to him
