Jeremy Lin "LINSANITY" Thread; Volume 4.

[SilverQT]

Oh Linsanity...how I miss thee...you shall forever be part of my mental history of giving great joy of watching this team play fun bball together. May you bring the same joy and energy whereever you play.

Terrific gifs. What a magical time Linsanity was.

[Mr Knick]

Lin goes no where, he is RFA and we can match any offer. The big question with Lin is this: Can he be better with Woodson and full off-season of work. There are things he still needs to improve opon for the 2013 NBA season.

Lin and Fields went to movie theater together and had picture with fans.

I meant to post this video, which is more recent. I think someone may have posted it earlier, but I don't remember the thread.



Previous video of Yao talking about Jeremy Lin



and here he is last year being interviewed in China at the Dongguan Basketball Academy, which he later played for their CBA team in exhibitions and another video of Lin in China.

We'll see if he's reached Kobe's status or surpassed it over there

These people have no idea what type of will and spirit Lin has...

Mark this down. Every year Lin is going to get better until he's one of the top point guards in this league!

Roots of Resilience – Jeremy Lin’s Past Foreshadows His Future

http://www.vikingsportsmag.com/uncatego ... is-future/

“When it was a more non-competitive drill like defensive fundamentals, his performance would be lower because he just wasn’t excited about it, wasn’t motivated to do it and didn’t see how it could help him,� Diepenbrock said.

Nonetheless, even with Lin’s occasionally lackadaisical practice effort, he still had a fairly good season as an underclassman starting for the varsity team.

“Sophomore year was OK as a starting point guard on varsity, but not super,� Diepenbrock said. “[Jeremy] was on a very talented team but he really had not grown much physically, so he was still pretty small and not real strong. He was a nice point guard on a very good team, but he was in no way a dominant player.�

While Lin continued to impress with his mature play, certain aspects of his game could have benefited from a better practice effort. As a sophomore, Lin struggled with turnovers all season, as he too often relied on his natural ability to bail him out.

“He always turned the ball over more than any of our other guards,� Drew Durham (‘04) said. “I think that was because he was younger and a little less experienced than some of our other guards, and his athleticism was beyond his basketball I.Q.�

Baskauskas also remembers that Lin could occasionally be headstrong on the court.

“When he was a freshman and sophomore, he was a great player and great kid off the court but sometimes he could be a little difficult to deal with on the court,� Baskauskas said.
