I went to a Harvard basketball game with my stepfather Lin's sophomore year when Harvard was terrible, they got housed by Brown.

Who knew what the future held?

I approve of this thread.

that gif is ELIte

the kurt warner comparison is way better than tebow since they both came from being not regarded by teams to then playing at a HOF level.

From the article:

"Whitlock tweeted this immediately after the game, as Twitter was blowing up about Lin's performance. I'm sure he'll deny it later, but it was an obvious reference to Lin, and the negative stereotypes about Asian men."

His only out is to play dumb and act as if he was tweeting about something unrelated, since he didn't include Lin's name or the Knicks organization. No one will buy it, of course.

Funny or not, if you're considered a professional journalist, I dont see how this is a good idea. I guess his thing is being controversial, so he doesn't care?

By the way, are there any actual international studies of the size of the human penis divided by race? I can certainly understand why this stereotype exists from watching asian massage parlor p0rn.

The Tebow comparisons are awful.this is the most rediculous thing to happen in sports since Kurt warner went nuts on the rams.


If he didn't play great in his first game he probably gets released.

Do you think all this attention will effect Lin. As people have been saying Tebow was heralding and high recruited to college, Won 2 national titles and has basically been under a media microscope for years so he is used to all the media around him.

Im sure Lin is on a high atm being the biggest story in NBA if not all sports atm but will the constant and sudden media circus around someone who had little no history with a media storm like this start to adversely effect him.

Tebow played like garbage in almost every game he played.getting every break possible,and having your defense and special teams play great on top of that has nothing to do with Lin playing great every game.on top of it Tebow is a heisman winner this guy didn't even get a basketball scholarship ,let alone get drafted.

Lin was always known to be one of, if not the, best in the league while he was playing. He just had bad timing, and played there during Cornell's dominant run.

Broncos Defense and special teams most overrated thing of nfl season.

The Tebow/Lin comparison just seems dumb to me. Tebow was already a household name in college. He was a a star before he even entered the NFL draft. Lin went to Harvard ffs. No one had heard of him til now, unless you were a Knicks fan or you REALLY knew your college basektball.

Warner is a better comparison, although Warner was literally bagging groceries before he made his comeback.

Knicks making nba finals being led by lin will get rid of all the bad press the nba got during the lockout and gain countless new fans of the game.

Would be so awesome.

i was well aware he was good

however being all-ivy league doesnt exactly translate into NBA success

what's odd is that Harvard has gotten better since he graduated

#Linning

He's not the same type of player, but I'm reminded of Goran Dragic's playoff game against the Spurs, where he dropped 25 points in basically one quarter, just dominating their switching on the PnR. Like Lin, he came out of nowhere to do this. Unlike Lin, with Dragic, it was a one game thing, though. Lin is basically a lock for Player of the Week.

How do I watch the game tonight? It's not on ESPn or anything.. any streaming ways of watchign it?

Jeremy Lin proving that those can play usually can't teach.

Met the elder Lin last nigh, he of the couch the Great One sleeps on, he goes to dental school with m hs friend. No contact with the Yellow Mamba yet, but trip report if it happens.

firstrowsports.eu will probly have a stream

tebow and lin is a fine comparison due to the publicity they are generating. a lot of other stuff doesnt fit but in terms of the sheer volume of twittering, they are similar.

What is his contract like? League minimum, but now guaranteed?

~600-700k I think, prorated based on an 82 game season

Guaranteed as of a few days ago.

No doubt Dolan will find a great way to **** this whole situation up. Maybe not right away, but eventually.

Found an article about it.

They say roughly $800k, but he will be a free agent at the end of the season. The Knicks, who are above the salary cap, can offer him a salary of $1.4 to $5M next season without affecting their mid-level exemption. Other teams can try to get him, but the Knicks can match without affecting their mid-level exemption.

oh stfu whoever wrote that.
