Lakers fall at feet of Lin, Knicks

I guarantee when Anthony and Amare come back that all the chemistry that Lin has produced with the team will dissipate.

Excellent analogies, USM1985. I agree with your view. Stereotypes that depicts which ethnic race can achieve success in sports must come to an end. Loving the Jeremy Lin phenomena.

So your the tallest player on the court. You play for over 34 minutes. You score 3 points. Howard, can we talk? We have a trade....

this is LINsanity! LOL no Stat no Melo hahaha

hahahaha Kobe is completely outplayed by Lin... Priceless. But he managed to pad his PPG by jacking up 29 shots (while only making 11 of them) Thats how you lose games folks. Selfish Kobe.

On a serious note, this is a pretty good story coming out of the NBA. A real role model is extremely hard to find in basketball these days. There are so many one and done, tattyed up ,thug wannabes in this league, and look at this kid: Harvard graduate, humble, team player, well spoken. Lin is crushing stereotypes every time he walks onto the court. F*ck what that dumbass Ron Artest has to say about his image. Why does Artest even suit up any more? He's useless, and doesn't seem to care. He used to at least be a force on the D side when his offense started to slide, now hes just all-around brutal.

How does this happen? How can a guy go from a "nobody" to a star over-night? I'll tell you how - stereotypes that's how. First he's non-black. We all know that unless you're black you can't really compete in basketball right? Fab 5, UK one-and-done, most NBA stars... "You got to be a gansta to be a baller man". Kind of like a black QB can't really play QB. "You've got to be a 6'5" student of the game white dude with a rocket arm who's a pocket passer" to succeed in the NFL. Then there's the Harvard thing. Come on, Harvard doesn't produce NBA players, just Presidents and CEO's. Anybody from Harvard, who's non-black - there's NOOOOO way the dude can compete in the NBA - right? OK, let's bust some stereotypes: Duke, Jerry West, Steve Nash, Pete Maravich, Bill Walton, Larry Bird(should have listed him first), John Stockton, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin McHale... let's keep going; Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Mike Vick, Steve McNair, Donovan McNabb. My point is that stereotypes are keeping more guys like Lin from being NBA stars. Hopefully they will not keep Robert Griffin III from being one in the NFL.

Early nominee for most retarded post of 2012

I guarantee when Anthony and Amare come back that all the chemistry that Lin has produced with the team will dissipate.

Amare can play with a good point guard.  He did it with Steve Nash for years and is a nice pick and roll player.  I think Stoudemire and Lin will fit like hand in glove.  Anthony on the other hand, I am not so sure.

They seriously need to demote Toney Douglas. The guy is a shooting guard, not a point guard. But Mike DUmb'Toni has a man-crush on Douglas.

2) Jeremy Lin

- Needs to see more playing time
- Last night's game: 4 points, 4 assists, 6 minutes (Knicks assists leaders vs. DET were Shumpert/Carmelo= 6 assists in 25+ mins)
- Can drive to the basket and has great ability to find the open man
- Great passer, has shown evidence of superior passing ability, best of the Knick guards.

MeccaReborn= smart

wait til this guy cant buy a bucket then they'll want him dead in NY. that's the way they roll.

I agree Zag. Car-smello and Amare will kill the magic this kid has created. I think that's a hoot after the Knicks paid all the loot to those two and chump change to Lin. More proof that you cannot buy a team!

Subsequently, we can assume Jeremy Lin's pick and roll game is very serious. He has shown evidence of this through various BOUNCE & LOB passes to Tyson Chandler. Expect Amar'e Stoudemire to be 100% by April- May, fully motivated. And Jeremy Lin will keep feeding Amar'e Stoudemire for the win.

Good for this guy... Kobe's humiliated.. and then offers judgement.. yeah kobe, you'rebetter. your arronce got the better of you on the court, and your next season remark illustrates you're just a jerk. can't give no one credit....

SA, agreed....and the early 70's

spkk8, that is true nobody is dissing Kobe..the past is just that. J Lin went thru and around 'Old Man" Fisher like he was standing still. Things change time moves on.  As Clyde would say the kid is 'Swish'n n Dish'n'.  At some point, as in all professional sports youth will be served maybe not today but eventually.  Nobody is ripping Kobe he is an all time great, behind MJ and whomever else might be infront of MJ.  

It is good to have new talent appear in the NBA, especially if they are unknown to anyone. This guy is refreshing as he appears to be a team first guy and a me last guy. He is also a humble kid and did not brag about his accomplishments, at least on the interviews where I have seen him. His remarks were that I have to make more passes to Chandler so he can score. I can remember another point guard saying the same thing. I have to keep the big man happy stated by Magic Johnson while with the Lakers. The Knick’s are winning without two of their super stars. This addition should make them a better team and more dominate in the east, as now they have found a distributor, that can also score when needed. “ONE MAN’S OPINION”

All he does is LIN!
