ParticipantI’m all in with Lin. My anemic Lakers have had me spending more time watching and attending Aztec basketball games, but since his game vs. the Lakers a few games ago, I’m ready to get one of his Jerseys. I was at the Garden just 40 days ago when I was in NYC, his picture wasn’t even on the billboards, they are probably commissioning a statue already.
Even if you ignore the fact that he’s breaking down racial stereotypes, expanding the market home and especially abroad, proving the college recruiters wrong, proving the pro recruiters wrong, giving hope to every walk-on or kid who didn’t get a scholarship…..forget all that, he’s not a novelty, the kid has got game and his heart reminds me of Kobe. In fact he out Kobe’d Kobe last week. Talk about fearless, it was his 2nd or 3rd start and he gets to face Kobe and shows no fear. It was like watching moneyball, Amare and Melo were both out (the two biggest stars on the team) and Lin and his fellow back-up partners probably earn less money total than One player on the other team. The Lakers really need a low salary,fast, young and accurate guard, it hurts to see him play against my lakers but it’s impossible not to like the guy after seeing him interviewed. Amare will have his new Nash, it will be fun to see that relationship develop. He needs to work on his turnovers but that should come with experience. Thank god they are in the Eastern Conference. Clippers/Knicks Finals- I’m calling it right now.

ParticipantThats great but arent they still 6 back?
February 14, 2012 at 10:17 PM #738042ParticipantDon’t fight it. I know Philly is in first, and you were thinking this is their year. Then Lin literally comes out of nowhere. It’s 2012, didn’t the mayans say this would happen. Look around, the president is African-American, the cover of Sports illustrated and the hottest player in sports is an Asian-American Basketball player from Harvard (for the non sports fans, ivy league schools do not give sports scholarships, harvard has produced more U.S. presidents than professional basketball players). I believe all we need is for men and women to switch sexual roles and for women to pursue men in bars for one-night stands and the trifecta of utopia will be complete. I think we are just a clippers (most cursed basketball team ever) and a Lin led Knicks NBA finals and it’s time to start walking to our cars at night in groups, just for our safety. Embrace the future, it’s gonna be great!!! Personally I’m not afraid of sexual harassment, I got plans of sleeping my way to the top, I’m gonna be that guy when it’s a woman’s world.

Dude, the person on the cover of si.cnn.com is definitely not lin.. More like the current SI swimsuit model… But Lin did make it on page 2.

Bravo, temeculaguy. Be happy and embrace the brave new world is my motto.
As to sleeping to the top, we know the type of woman it takes to make it in a man’s world. I wonder what type of guy women will promote in a woman’s world.
In his younger days, my little brother dated a girl who bought him a BMW among other things. He gave it back when they broke up. She was too controlling and he grew tired of her, despite her money.
February 15, 2012 at 1:02 PM #738075ParticipantI’m all for a guy like Lin changing perceptions but its the Knicks. They will screw it up some way. They always do. They are like the Cubs of the NBA.

and that is the only reason why he had the opportunity to shine. can you imagine if he was on a team like the Lakers? he’ll be a bench warmer for a few months and get let go.
February 15, 2012 at 2:05 PM #738087CoronitaParticipantYou folks thinks the knicks will make it to the playoffs?
I really haven’t been following b-ball for some time ever since the entire strike ordeal.

I could tell you, but them I would have to…. you know….
February 15, 2012 at 2:08 PM #738090CoronitaParticipantHey, they’re playing the kings tonight….Looks like I’ll watch the first quarter and hear the highlights later.

I haven’t followed bball this season as well because of the strike, but unless the Linsanity continue, they will have a big hill to climb to get there. We still don’t know how Melo will jive with Lin. Before Lin, obvious, Melo and Amare wasn’t enough. They have to content with the Heats for the Easter Conference title, and unless Lin can go the distance, the Heat have much more firing power and an extra year to get used to each other.It will be interesting to see if the Knicks will become a Suns 2.0. Melo is a better Marion, Amare is more mature, Lin hopefully can pull off a Nash replacement. If the rest of the support cast do well, it will definitely be a fun team to watch, just like the Suns. I like the way D’Antoni run his team.
