Yes I have seen him and he's a fluke.
Not only that. I cant wait for the spurs to play the Knicks so tony could break his ankles.
Sorry, doing what he's doing against NBA compe ion isn't a fluke. Barely into the 3rd Q and he already has 22 and 5 against the Lakers. He's sort of a pocket Manu. Not much athletically, by NBA standards, but a motor that won't quit.
I was impressed with him in the summer league when he played for the Mavs. Good speed, quickness and lots of flair that got the crowd behind him.
I was at the Summer League when he tore up John Wall.
38 more points tonight so far. Averaging 28.5 points in the last four games.
Pretty ridiculous.
I thought he looked pretty good in the preseason with the Rockets but ... wow.
and the lakers passed on him....
Unless I'm mistaken, the Rockets claimed him off waivers and then the Knicks claimed him off waivers. I don't think the Lakers (or the Spurs, for that matter) ever had a chance to sign him.
Yeah, you cant "fluke" or fake your way to 38 points. He's done well every game so far. He's tough, unafraid, and fundamentally sound. He has too many turnovers right now, but his court vision will clean that up in time. That late 4th Q drive down the left side with the under reverse layup was SO Manu.
EVERYONE passed on him in the 2010 draft, including us.
Wow, that game was amazing. Dude was hitting the jumper, scoring off the dribble, finishing at the rim... incredible.
ANOTHER MISTAKE BY THE SPURS FOITS TIME TO GET RID OF POP AND BUFORD (Sorry could not write in blue).
Jermey Lin is the hottest star in the NBA this season, he successfully achieved "the american dream". Different from a lot of guys in NBA, J-Lin is such a humble and low-key kid out of the court.( kinda like Timmy). I like his passion when making some and-1 plays.
In the rest of the states, people think that baskteball is a game just belongs to black and white. J-Lin -Sanity story has been inspired a lot of young kids in Asia.
I'm so honored that our parents come from the same place. he was undrafted and waived to D-league , struggled that whether could be able to stay in the NBA or not.
Lin is now a star PG already . hopefully he can keep it up
He got over 20 shots in the game.
That number will go down to 10-15 once Amare and Melo return.
Yeah, a lot of people are overlooking that the teams two biggest stars are out. It's also only been 5 games - anyone remember what happened when Udrih went to the Kings and started playing out of his mind? Regardless, the kid can play but it'll be fun to see how long he can maintain it.
His game is pretty remarkable, but I didn't know what to think of him. Then I heard his post game interview with ESPN and I like him. Very humble
Since when is there EVER a shortage of shots in a D'Antoni offense?His assists will likely go up, though, as two key starters return. He's essentially starting with two reserves.
I think the Knicks have the green light to trade Melo and/or A'm'a'r'e' now.
I wonder how much money this kid will make when he becomes a free agent. Will the Knicks be desperate to keep him or will they let somebody else overpay him?
My money would be on Amar'''''''e. His scoring really isn't needed now and his defense is .
The Knicks are completely in the drivers seat. They have the money to spend already and will get all of Houston's old Chinese sponsors to boot.
Anyone who saw his playoff performances knew that Beno is mentally weak. Nothing like Lin, who seems to thrive on pressure.
