Jeremy Lin

Re: Jeremy Lin

I know ESPN has mentioned it a couple times. Also, I don't think he had to literally convince them to give him a chance, they were more or less unsure about him. He had to SHOW them he could play.

Yeah, Jeremy Lin isn't the type of player that'll wow or impress you when you watch him practice. He plays just like any other typical PGs out there and doesn't really have any umph kind of impact with first impressions. So I can see why he gets overlooked so easily.

Re: Jeremy Lin

What people forget is that steals basically negate turnovers; basically, he's causing turnovers as much as he's creating them.

Taking this past game into account, his 5 steals generally negate 5 of his turnovers, so he essentially had a 7:1 ratio. Of course, TOs are bad, but...

Another way you could look at it is, if a player finished with 10 assists and 10 turnovers, he basically didn't contribute positively in that aspect because he gave the ball away as much as he created opportunities.

Coaches never look at it that way. The steals are great but turnovers negate opportunity. Opportunity doesn't always equate to points but there's also fouls and the energy it takes to defend.

Re: Jeremy Lin

I'm reading this morning that Colangelo is considering inviting Lin over to train with the U.S. Olympic team, wow.

You mean CP3, Rose, Russ & DWill aren't enough? smh

I seriously doubt he'd even make the team with them that deep at the PG. But the fact that I'm even reading about Colangelo considering it just goes to show how big this Lin machine is getting.

LoL ask the guys on the 2k forums and theyll tell you he has the best court vision since Nash.

You can't be serious.

It would be a good look but dude has to deserve an invite.

Guess they what some pub and to lure him away from the other national teams he's considering.

Re: Jeremy Lin

He can't play for any other team, he's lived his entire live here, unless Taiwan has some kind of weird rule about it.

I think his game would be pretty damn good internationally. As a POINT GUARD on the international team, I'd take him over Westbrook.

The definition of overreacting. Stuff like this is how it's possible to really like Lin, his game and want him to do well... but still think he's being drastically overrated and overhyped.

He already been invited to play for Chinese Taipei in the FiBA's but got injured and was kept off the roster for the Asian Championships.

Republic of China offered him the same spot. (Yao, Yi, Wang Zhi Zhi and Sun Yue's team)

Here's a clip from September saying that he's still considering.

There's craziness going on in the 2k forum. One dude said he was playing as well as anyone ever. I put his quote as my sig and he didn't like it. I think it was the same guy that said he has the best court vision since Nash. Another guy said he hasn't seen anybody as good as Lin since Magic. I invited them to this forum to discuss it but they haven't taken me up yet.

Re: Jeremy Lin

This has to be photoshopped right? How was this sign not confiscated by security if it wasn't?

i saw that live and no it isn't photoshopped.

i saw that live and no it isn't photoshopped.

I been wondering that too, Ive seen that lady on the ABC game where they showed her but I am not 100% sure the sign said that tho.
