Is Jeremy Lin the next Tim Tebow?

[CarpeDime]

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

[BetterBizness]

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...

[jsmithj88]

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.

3 games in a row now. Knicks are fun to watch.... when Anthony is not on court.

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.

Efff that Jeebus loving China men. He is clearly brain washed.

He literally has to be the smartest guy in the NBA.

Typical Asian - Sharp as a tack

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.

[Bill Dozer]

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.

[aceking]

next game , kobe will show him who's the boss .

[Darkside Magick]

i watch the game on nba league pass......on one play the dunk ...he can around the left side and then there was 4 defenders and they ALL got out of the way and let him dunk...i was like wtf....this dont look right

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.

[jstblaze]

Could you sound any dumber?

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.

[Darkside Magick]

yes he did dish to novak for the 3's.....just look crazy...derrick rose go to hole and he get smash...lin go to the hole and everything just part

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.

[Darkside Magick]

give up???????????????????????????? it was only 62-56!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wrongturn]

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.

[ordonezv]

j lin

Its hard to say with only two games under his belt. If he can keep it up yes but not right now

[crustyme]

lin is also a great singer... here he is singing "my heart will go on" from the titantic.

[HustleGetPaid]

Lin is fundamentally sound. Tebow is not. Lin has 1/2 the jumping ability of players in the NBA, but 2x the IQ. Mike D'antonis system will maximize Lins abilities. I think he can be a very good player.

Lin will be more talked about for his ethnicity than his religious views.

Solid post...

[HustleGetPaid]

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.

[Bill Dozer]

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

[Mac4Lyfe]

I think Lin much better than Tebow
Tebow has very little skills Lin has a lot of skills

Very little skill? HS championship, 2 college national championships, a Heisman, highest passing % in the SEC, took Denver to the playoffs where they won a game over the Steelers.

What are you smoking???

wats the path of tebow?

[rm18]

How Did Joe Johnson make the all star team over Lin are they serious?

[Sam Odom]

wats the path of tebow?
