I Give Jeremy Lin A Lot OF Credit

EaglesPhan36 · 03-18-12, 02:54 PM

No one cares about the NBA.

SBR Lou · 03-18-12, 02:58 PM

He got off to a hot start. The true test will be seeing how he handles adversity. Quite a different animal entirely to play well when you're expected to.

samgurt · 03-18-12, 02:59 PM

i think they just pressure him because he is known to turn the ball over often

jjgold · 03-18-12, 03:04 PM

basically he was main reason Knicks won last night
Kid playing well again

Sam Odom · 03-18-12, 03:06 PM

jj thinks the kid is cute ???

CMNoney · 03-18-12, 03:54 PM

His parents raised him well.

Stop dreaming about Jeremy coach

If you still want to **** Shari Kangeroo call her and sing her this polish song. it worked for me, see my avatar

doesn't need credit. went to Harvard makes over 100k a month.

50k a month spent on sushi... leaves at least 10k a month after bills/taxes/etc to do what he wants

I think he forces too many passes

Anthony not hitting shots is an issue

Jeffreys needs to be healthy also

Will be interesting to see if Knicks go with him next year

Guy has played like 20 games in his NBA life in the hardest place and most pressure packed place in the world

Opponents are guarding him like he is Michael Jordan double teaming him and as soon as he crosses half court, they do not even pressure Wade like this

Most guys would crumble with all this pressure

He has had some bumps but this kid is holding up and will be a solid NBA point guard

That's an overstatement.. And they don't pressure Wade like that because there is a guy named Lebron on the team. They pressure Lin and he either turns it over or passes to Melo... either way it's a fast break for the other team...

The Lin character is one insane dude, Lin and Powter are stopping the insanity

PLA · 03-26-12, 08:24 AM

He's popular cuz his parents from Taiwan province of China

shadymcgrady · 03-26-12, 08:27 AM

lets call a spade a spade here, lin is good maybe pretty good or solid but not great. his game IQ is high, as anyone from harvard or an ivy league would be compared to the majority of players in the NBA. other than that his skills are avg or ab avg on a good day and he can be sloppy as hell with the ball at times. his body type is not an ideal or typical body type for the NBA as he is undoubtedly considered soft and the target of traps and doubles bc players and coaches believe they can muscle the ball away from him often. with all those facts being said, he works well as a secondary or role player behind a star type like melo or stat etc. he just doesn't have the purebred pedigree to be a superstar in the league as a player himself but can certainly be a good, smart player and eventually a great head coach or gm like doc rivers etc.

exactly. lin is a turnover machine. the guy lost all credibility as soon as jordans name was brought into this.

Has done more good than bad - assist to turnovers = a steady long term paycheck

Thurgood · 03-26-12, 12:34 PM

He's popular because he's Asian and went to Harvard. You don't see John Lucas III insanity? Why? Because he's black.

jjgold · 03-26-12, 12:35 PM

He is questionable tonight
Pay attention of the line

flyingillini · 03-26-12, 12:45 PM

He is the 2nd coming of Christ to the Asian Community.

sportsfanatic · 03-26-12, 12:57 PM

he's probably easier to identify with for asian americans since he was born in america and his first language is english.

it helps that he's only six foot two. nearly every player from china has been 7 foot or higher and can barely speak english.

Scorpion · 03-29-12, 01:53 PM

He is popular because he is Chinese and over 1 billion chinese watch his games

He is below average
