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.

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!

Great article

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.

Congratulations to Jeremy Lin for winning his "Linsanity’" trademark case.

In light of the the recent "Nash to the Knicks" discussions that have sprouted in recent weeks, I thought it interesting that out in Arizona there has been some "Lin to the Suns" talk. It seems fitting to at least take note of it here since both moves have about the same chance of happening.

Jeremy Lin's "Year of the Dragon" Nike Destroyer Jacket:

http://stupiddope.com/2012/05/29/jeremy ... er-jacket/

I'm not sure I like the dragon-theme. It seems a bit too ethnocentric and stereotypical for Nike to put that in. It came across a bit tacky to me. They also have an icon of Palo Alto, California but not NYC, lol. The Harvard symbol was a nice touch, though.

And folks seriously think the Knicks aren't bringing this kid back. :lol:

Yeah, Nike shamelessly made sure they hit the marketing trifecta in their design :lol:

You've got the California state patch to help it sell well in the nation's most populous state. You've got the Knicks colors and the words "New York" on the back to help it sell well in the world's largest media capital of NYC. And then you've got the dragon motif to help it sell overseas in Asia. It's like a marketing team's wet dream.

Nike is going to exploit the heck out of Jeremy Lin's marketing appeal, especially since Nike didn't have to pay much (they signed Lin way back early in his career before Linsanity ever happened, presumably for a cheap contract since he was an unknown).

Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak will have their "Bird rights" hearing on June 13, a source tells Newsday.

So there's been a sighting of Jeremy in LA, the president of some Taiwan University happened to run into him at their hotel and took pics. My question is why is he there? Say if he was negotiating with the Lakers, does he need to personally fly over? (tho it may very well be just a private trip)

Well, Hollywood and the film studios are down there. Maybe he's filming his Volvo commercials?
