36 turnovers in 7 games really matters very little. The guy has the ball in his hands roughly 35 minutes each night. Of course he's going to have turnovers, all PGs do.

The offensive production, how he runs the offense and the pick and roll are impressive. The wins are ultimate.

Saying this isn't going to last is foolish. He's a smart basketball player, who's got the keys to a very friendly PG offense.

The Tebow comparisons are hilarious. The Knicks haven't changed their offense, they've given him more responsibility. The Broncos had to gimmick down the offense for Tebow.

But, but, but he has a small winkey.

I have never got why somebody who massively exceeds everyones expectations and becomes a game changer for his team gets so much grief.

Not to mention while Lin has a few turnovers, he's putting up big numbers to go along with the wins. Tebow wasn't putting up numbers. If he was throwing for 300 yards and also turning it over, you might have a point Connection.

Spurs WINNING again. 21-9 with Tony parker having an MVP season but no one is noticing.

Funny how everyone wrote them off.

No shit. Parker's killing it and isn't even 30 yet. I'm looking forward to the next couple of years with the young bucks we have getting some great experience from the veterans.

I don't think we can get a title this year (who knows though) but we"l make a run deep into the playoffs. If we can dump Richard Jefferson after this year and get someone who can actually do something then we'll have a good shot at a title.

Duncan has a better shot to win another ring than onewinski.

The Mavs old team isn't winning jack this year.

Their interior defense stinks without Chandler.

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. caused a stir earlier this week when he said all the hype surrounding Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin was because he was Asian, but 76ers forward Andre Iguodala said Wednesday there was some merit to the claim.

"Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise," Mayweather wrote.

Iguodala agreed Lin's race — he is the first Asian-American to start an NBA game — has factored in the attention he is receiving, but did not want to detract from what the former Harvard star was achieving on the court.

"When you see the majority doing it you say, 'Ah, he's been doing it since he was a kid. It's in his blood, whatever,'" Iguodala told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

"You see [Lin] doing it and you say, 'You're serious?' It's kind of like seeing a black hockey player doing well.

"Race does play a role in it but at the same time you have to respect it, that's how I feel. You have to respect it whether you like it or not. It's a feel-good story."

Lin hit a game-winning three with less than a second on the clock against the Raptors Tuesday to guide the Knicks to a sixth straight win — and send Linsanity into overdrive.

His No. 17 jersey has become the league's top seller, while Madison Square Garden Co.'s share price has soared to an all-time high.

Iguodala said the interesting thing will be seeing if Lin can maintain his success long-term.

"He's only six games in the league. Game 30, game 40, that's where you can kind of see where a guy's at," he said.
