IBTimes needs to do better work.
No question Jeremy Lin is great at the p/r. Boozer? No. Boozer isn't very good at all at anything right now.

Re: LA Lakers introduce Jeremy Lin
I think those numbers need some context. Boozer hasn't played a lot of PNR with the Bulls since Rose's injury (he's mostly been used as the primary post option), but when Rose was healthy they ran a pretty nasty PNR. Lin (and Kobe for that matter) is a better PNR guard than anyone on the Bulls (minus Rose) so that is going to help Boozer's game tremendously. That's always been a strength of Boozer and the fact that he struggled last season says more about his environment than it does about him.
I'm certainly not suggesting that we're going to see Utah or even 2012 Boozer, but he should be more productive than he has been the last 2 seasons because he'll have Lin, Nash, and Kobe to work with.

^Man, that's just not right. I guess that's what happens when you raise 3 boys and no daughters.

You call that a statue?
Maybe sculpture, or figurine...

It almost looks like he's poking the wax statue to check it out, while the kids are poking him to make sure he's actually human and not made out of wax

So strange he has a wax statue as a LAker before he even scored his first points for purple and gold.
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

They probably alrdy wanted a wax statue of Jeremy Lin before he became a Laker. And it's logical to have Jeremy Lin statue in a Laker uniform because that is his current team. You don't expect him to wear a Knicks uniform or a Rockets uniform now right?

Re: LA Lakers introduce Jeremy Lin

it's weird with the lakers jersey as he hasn't done anything yet

I hope Lin is actually working on his game, not with his brothers, but NBA-caliber drills and competition.
