If Lin's that good, maybe he should put his Harvard ecomonics degree to good use and help the country -- just kidding. |

Jesus, 27 and 11.
It's like Lin is playing NBA2K11 My Player on easy mode. |

Ah, I'm happy for Lin. I hope he has what it takes to succeed -- Sweet ... Especially because it takes a lot of people to put you on the front page of The New York Times and The New York Times Global Edition (The International Herald Tribune -- receiving more than 33 million unique visitors in the U.S. and 48 million globally. LOL ... too funny.
Excerpt from The New York Times: Great writing. Knicks 90, Raptors 87 At the Buzzer, It’s All Lin By HOWARD BECK 3 minutes ago TORONTO — The clock was running down — on the game, on the Knicks and on Jeremy Lin’s mystical streak, which was teetering on the edge of disappointment. The seconds kept disappearing until Lin stopped his dribble, pulled up and launched from the 3-point arc. The ball swished with a half-second remaining, setting off pandemonium at Air Canada Centre, which momentarily adopted the N.B.A.’s newest star as its own. The crowd had just witnessed another fantastic chapter in Lin’s growing legend. The shot broke a tie and completed a furious comeback against the Toronto Raptors. And when Rasual Butler’s 3-point attempt at the buzzer missed badly, the Knicks had a 90-87 victory, and their Lin-inspired winning streak had reached six. ... Quote:

Lin is reminding me so much of Tebow right now. Making huge clutch plays during the big moments, getting his struggling team on a decent win streak for the first team in years, thanking God after the games during the interviews, and becoming overrated by the media because of it all.
I don't know how much longer it will last, but it's fun. |

Hard to understand the Tebow hate in a column that's basically about the basketball version of him. Tebow has never been a "look at me" showboater. When asked about personal success, he's always brought up the team or God or something other than himself. Very much like Lin has.

Hey guess what, the Mavs were without Jason Terry and Delonte West for most of the game, and Roddy Beaubois.
Mavs are legit and on the rise. Team is gelling. |

All three bench guys. Nugs missing Gallo, Nene and Mozgov. Gallo is a borderline All-Star and Nene is a very good player. Just sayin'.

Tebow was ass most of the year (yes, QB's that complete sub 50 percent passes in today's game are ass) , Lin on the other hand has played very well. |
