    i dont know man it looks like david stern told the NBA to "let him win" like when your playing a kid at some game and you let him win

    look i went to school with some nerds like that and i mean yeah there nice guys and yeah some of them are ok at some sports sort of but usually better at video games if anything but COMMON man that "well my computor says if i pass the ball at angle x!^.5nth*4x-2 it will go into the basket" bullsh*t does not fly in the NBA unless there letting him win ok??

    i mean great marketing though of course so i can see why there doing it

    Kid is young... and smart... most people wait their whole lives to do what he did ... funny thing is he didn't do anything special as mentioned... just played smart... what are they going to do, Guard him? kids smart enough to get through the sheit they've been throwing at him since he walked on @ Harvard...

    how are these 2 comparable?
    lin is winning with anything but athletic talent
    tebow is winning with an unorthodox style of football, hes like a fullback playing QB
    hes mainly winning because of his athletic talents

    tebow shud be compared to some1 like dwight howard or rondo
    how is freakishly talented, yet cant shoot a FT, or make a jumper to save their lives

    besides, lin has played 2 games
    tebow at least has a playoff win

    theres no comparison here

    wat does that have anything to do with LIN?
    so basically wat ur saying is that hes asian, and looks nerdy, that hes not capable of playing well?
    all the best ballers need to be big, fast, athletic with a million tattoos?
    thats one of the reasons y he is succeeding, people are underestimating him

    stern told the nba to let the asian kid win?
    u really think deron williams wanted to look like a fool against LIN?
    i mean, he took him to the hoop over and over again in the 4th quarter
    get real son.

    Just another Jeremy Lin :: He IS another TEBOW

    Jeremy Lin is a self professed virgin

    Lin grew up in a devout Christian family and would one day like to be a pastor who can head up non-profit organizations, either home or abroad. He has also talked of working in inner-city communities to help with underprivileged children.

    Lin > Tebow (but Tim has more $$$)

    Saying you are the smartest guy in the NBA is like saying you are the fastest guy at fat camp.

    Watched last night's highlights. He plays just like Steve Nash. Maybe he is a better defender or worse shooter, but he runs the court like him. He has different gears. Most PGs have one.

    Because he had burned them 4 times to dish out Novak for 3's, so they reacted instinctively to cover the outside shooters, and that was pretty funny.

    Yeah, david stern told everyone he is playing against to let him do well. Especially on that dunk, they all got word through their ear pieces, that they should let him dunk.


    Dude is going off. Completely going off. Who knows if it will last.

    That was insane.
    It was like the Wizards had completely given up at that point. It was one of those cases where the Wizards looked worse than a high school team.

    Because nobody respects him yet, he is still nobody with only 800K salary non-guaranteed until this week.. I am sure he will get roughed up if he continues play like this. But he had put stats only Isiah Thomas did 30 years ago when first started as rookie, so likely he is for real to some degree.

    It is not that far off to see Lin playing like Neo against four Agent Smith's.

    He broke John Wall's ankle. Lol, this guy is overrated. I remember people were saying what if LeBron James team uped with Wall.

    Slow down guys before crowning Lin the King of NY. And you guys silly for saying Melo is the prob, it's D'Antoni and lack of depth off the bench. Trading for Melo cleaned their bench and role players, but Melo is far from the problem...

    Actually he got a 3.1 GPA, and obviously he skipped the courses logic and reason. It really is a pity he's following the path of Tebow.

    Melo is good, it just seems to me that a lot of SGs and SFs that need the ball on the outside put up good stats but arent on fun teams to watch. They tend to stand around. With a real point guard Novak is lookin like an all star.

    D'antoni runs a type of offense that high on pick&rolls and solid PG play
    cant really run it with melo, hes a 1on1 type of player
    is it really a surprise melo has played like crap since he got to NY?
    its also dragged amares production down as well
