They are afraid of him

He has eye of tiger

Smokey no athlete in NY history has stolen the show like this
24 hrs a day sports radio and all him

Coach says hard to take him out of game because team is lost when he does not play

BIGDAY · 02-20-12, 09:37 AM

What's amazing is how good he is with such a small rooster.

Well yeah... I almost turned the game off when he was out. They not only squandered maybe a 12pt lead (just from memory so maybe a bit less) but then went down like 9. They looked awful. An absolute mess without him there. But... you can't play the guy 46mins of a game every time against hard ones. That's not feasible. Need Melo back and I guess they need some coaching magic. You cannot make a player soak up that many minutes 2 or 3 games in a row.

I hope they figure it out though. Go watch a game of his and experience it. When will you ever feel that vibe again?

What's the matter Opie? ( I respect the Mavs BTW) but it appears that you can't take that our young Jeremy embarrassed your Texas team

Yeah, Dirk was getting frustrated and yelling at Marion about "where he thought Marion would be". I love Dirk but I haven't seen a Knicks championship in my lifetime (too young to see--born in 71). I'm dying for it and Jeremy Lin is making his mark. He totally outplayed Kobe. Magic Johnson has been praising him. I saw Magic play at the Garden, best passer ever in person. Lin is a real role model. Harvard, the works. Everyone should root for this kid.

No doubt. Its a great story. Kid seems like the real deal.

Him and Tebow are exactly what sports badly needed.

-- Sports are due for some guys to come in put a positive spin on a lot of the Antonio Cromartie's (9 kids by 8 women) that you see. I get sick of rooting for hoods. Nothing foul about Lin

sorry but all that calculis trigometrics algabra sh*t will not fly in the NBA long term

for a few games yeah it can work i guess especially if the refs are making sure you win but the guy is a flat out fukin nerd and will eventually get stuffed in the garbage can just like every other nerd

jjgold · 02-20-12, 11:01 AM

Asians are taking over Garden

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

that "nerd" is unstoppable, including some of the top ballers in the NBA. He frustrates them. Can't wait to see him face the Heat.

Another guy who doesn't watch basketball.

I love people who just read the stories and don't pay attention.

Guy has all the skills to play his position and more. As JJ said, raises EVERYONE ELSE'S PLAY when he's out there. With his vision, they know that if they run with him they're gonna get the ball for an easy basket. Truly an awesome story -- These are the best stories in sports, when someone who was disregarded finally gets his shot and goes nuts with it, showing everyone what he had in him all along.

I'm a Celtics fan and can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually a closet Knicks fan now. I've been completely turned by this guy. I was so jacked up watching him and Novak and the rest of em step up and knock off the Mavs yesterday.

lin is fun to watch and quite a good basketball player.

but given the choice nobody in their right mind would pick him over lebron, wade, or even bosh

so he would be the 4th best player on the heat AT BEST

milwaukee mike · 02-20-12, 11:29 AM

and keep in mind i'm a knicks fan and i really like novak (marquette) and lin

but let's be realistic here, he's more than a little overhyped like tebow was

Big Bear · 02-20-12, 11:30 AM

This thread proves there is more than 1 person posting as JJ GOLD.

no way this is the guy in the videos. The guy that made this thread is a nerd.

csknight3 · 02-20-12, 11:36 AM

LIN IS GOOD but hes not great. Yet. He turns the ball over a little too much but I understand he's pretty new to the PG position. ESPN makes us hate great stories and focuses too much on one thing. Its like your favorite song getting played on the radio every other song. Eventually you are going to hate it.

Mike: You know your stuff but Lin and Tebow aren't even close as being overhyped. Tebow was already a star in college and isn't as good of a pro as Lin is. Lin had no press coming out of college and he's wreaked havoc like I've never seen a player do before.

This reminds me of Timmy Smith in the Super Bowl for the Redskins. The difference being is that Lin is able to SUSTAIN his excellence.

Lin is basically playing the whole 4 quaters of the game you don't think he's gonna make mistakes and turn the ball.

i agree that lin hasn't been overhyped UNTIL NOW. but over the last few weeks he has been mentioned 100x as much as lebron, and if you haven't noticed miami has won 6 in a row, san antonio has won 10 in a row, but almost all anyone is talking about is lin.

that was the comparison i was trying to make, that for a month or two tebow was getting more press than the top 5 qbs in the nfl COMBINED.

jjgold · 02-20-12, 12:06 PM

The way Lin plays he is going to have turnovers

He played 9 fukkin games in his life

No player has ever done so much in the first 9 games EVER

You guys have zero clue about sports

305GURU · 02-20-12, 12:09 PM

Another Linsanity thread from jj, you starting to believe in the kid?

glad somebody else realizes this. this is why so many people end up hating players like Lin and Tebow cause ESPN literally shove it down your throat every minute of your life. they don't know when to to stop. I love the kid and have been a Knicks fan since I was a kid but I can see why outsiders grow to hate him or the Knicks, just like you said its like your favorite song on the radio 100 times a day. perfect example.

gold u have no clue about sports

ok so the guy pulled a couple passes out of his a** on national tv, that dont mean he can ball son

hoops is a street game, borne of street life, borne of inner city funk and concrete jungle jazz and the poetry of urban blight and the braggadocious defiance of rap and the Black Man's knowledge of self

these brothers on the court have seen they mamas and grandmamas crying cause little sis got shot up in the street, cause they cousin got caught up in the game, cause they seen they mamas and they sisters get hooked on the crack pipe and the philly blunt and the 40 ounce, and turn theyselves out

what has Lin seen??? He has seen his suitemate get a B+ on an engineering exam? Please

Lin can't ball, period

Easy enough to solve, just don't watch so much of the coverage. I'm never gonna turn against my favorite musicians or movies or chicks or sports heroes just because the media falls in love with a story.

Everyone who's a sports fan should LOVE this story on its own merits with or without the ridiculous amount of coverage (which is a crazy amount I admit... welcome to the world of instant everything in 2012). I know I was taken in hook, line, and sinker when I was at a bar watching him school the Lakers in that Friday night game. What's most impressive is how grounded this kid is. No amount of attention is gonna get him off his game. Head is screwed on straight, as you would expect from a clean-cut Harvard kid.
