Jeremy Lin IS

[BroderickHawk]

What Tim Tebow pretends to be;
An underdog who has worked his a$$ off to get a chance and is making the most of it.

I'll take Linsanity over Tebowmania any day of the week.

hahaha...only Tebow can get put down by being compared to a korean-american who plays a different sport and has nothing to do with him

If Lin starts throwing the fact that he sleeps on his brothers sofa in my face I'm going to hate him just as much as tebow

Lin's wikipedia page details the racial taunting he had to put up from fans during games in college and high school. I don't see how anyone could not root for this kid. Amazing nobody wanted him at the college level.

Great story. Kid is lighting it up!

For those who didn't get a chance to watch the Lin play tonight, here is his highlights:

Jeremy Lin career-high 38 points (all 13 field goals): Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks at MSG - YouTube

The most entertaining game I've watched so far this year.

The new Vintage everyone...take a bow.

 

[smhawk]

most were thinking this would be the game that lin comes back down to reality.... wwoooww

Carmelo (groin injury) and Amare (personal leave after brother's death) were still out of the lineup tonight and Lin was matched up against Derek Fisher but 38 points was a nice surprise after he scored 25, 28 and 23 in his previous 3.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Carmelo comes back because he tends to isolate and go one and one, even Amare has hinted he is unhappy about it and his numbers are way down since playing with Carmelo. I would expect a lot more pick and rolls from Lin/Amare, it will be interesting to see how Carmelo handles that.

It is shocking the Warriors released Lin in December on the first day of camp after the lockout considering it was Mark Jackson's first season as head coach. I would have guessed he would be a pretty good evaluator of point guards. Instead they brought in tiny point guard 5'9 Nate Robinson when they are already undersized in their backcourt. Whoops!

Warriors had no money as they were trying to sign DeAndre Jordan. Nate didn't sign untill the season started.

ESPN will make you hate Lin as well. just wait for it

 

[DuffMan]

Totally Korean, or maybe some kinda Chinese.

 

[hoffahawk]

Lin makes everyone on the Knicks better, When Melo comes back they will figure it out winning fixes everything. Great story.

 

[thejumper5]

I love the Lakers. I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching them lose before last night. It was an incredible game, and Lin is absolutely an amazing player. He will likely hit a wall soon, especially when Carmelo, Amare, and Baron Davis get back, but it's worth enjoying while it lasts.

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

He's Taiwanese-American, FWIW.

Tebow Hater: "I don't hate Tebow, I just hate that he's always in the media"

Normal Person: "You know Tebow hasn't been talked about in a month?"

Tebow Hater: "Errrr TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW!!!"
