I do not like the knicks(Celts fan) but dam he is looking great tongiht. Nope he works out and Amare comes back with a boost. He needs a PG for his game.

I noticed that Lin has a little hitch in his jump shot. He bends his right leg at the knee a bit. Interesting. It's not technically sound, but what the heck?

Can I quote myself on this one? 18 points and 5 assists during the first half? An NBA STAR has been born.

Not a good player, not a very good player, but an ELITE PG we've just landed. A Pure PG at that. You know what I love most? During the halftime break, during his interview, he made it known that he hasn't been feeding Chandler enough down low. Look for one hell of a 1-2 punch between Lin and Chander come the 2nd half. Loving the fact that he's out there looking to correct his mistakes, already becoming one hell of a team leader.

Magic Johnson, one of the greatest PG's ever, just stated that his style of play is a mix between Nash and Stockton. Magic just stated that this kid is FORREAL!

All Lin needs is seasoning to become a true star. His great asset of tools is rare for PGs. He had some mistakes that led to turnovers, but it's just experience.

I'm just on cloud 9. The Knicks haven't had an elite PG since we drafted Mark Jackson. We've finally landed on in Jeremy Lin. Anthony, Stoudemire and Chandler are winning a championship together with an elite, true, pure type of facilitator at the PG position in Jeremy Lin. I truly believe that.

You remember when Pierce, Allen and K.G added Rondo at the PG position? Look what happened. Well, Melo, Amare and Tyson now have Lin. Lin can go off for 20+ on a consistent basis, there's no way opposing D's will be able to stop Lin, Melo, Amare and Chandler feasting down low. Not a chance.

38 and 7 here in the 4th against a great LAL defense!

I was in love with Rubio's game for many of years before he made his NBA debut this season, but we've found our very own Rubio in Lin, but you know what's scary? Lin is a much better player when compared to Rubio, which is scary in it's own right. This kid is truly an elite/special talent.

Just posting to have it recorded in history that I was around for this from the early days.

Pretty much the best story in the NBA this year.

It gave me chills during the post game interview when the they asked him the Question about "What did you think your dream in the NBA would be like?"

And he answered, "This is it right here"

Wow, what an absolutely incredible story. Been watching the NBA for over 20 yrs and I've honestly never seen anything to this magnitude. Bravo J-lin, I'm a bulls fan and I've never rooted harder for another NBA team in my life.

One of the commentators during the OKC game just said this:

"Harden with the lob to the Lin...to the rim (giggles)"

LINSANITY. ITS CONTAGIOUS.
