at least most posters who post douchey things like "/thread" read the thread first.

Nash, Kidd, Duncan, Rondo, Lebron, Wade, Pau, Ginobli, Paul, Deron are all better at the outlet pass.

pau and ginobli? seriously? i'd argue kidd (now, not in his prime), and deron as well. all gifted passers, but not as good at long-range.

As a general comment, It's interesting to me how Lin always gets compared to seasoned players like these guys. Sure, they're the standard and we all hope his ceiling is somewhere approaching theirs but as a comparison? At this stage? He hardly ever gets compared with the players who, were he drafted, would be his peers. Wonder why that is.

I think you should check out that last Celtic game that we lost.

Ginobili is the most underrated passer in the league. He's a better passer than most point guards.

I wouldn't say he's the best, but he's better than most. He still needs to hone those skills some more, because I remember one game when some players, including him, were throwing outlet passes and missing them badly.

He's better than most PG's at that outlet pass but to say that he's the best in the league is laughable. He'll get better at it though, I'm sure.

kevin love throws some nice outlet passes.

Steve Nash is definitely better. That's about it.

You don't lose passing ability with age. Lin is an excellent guard but he is not an elite outlet passer. Every skilled big man has shown they can do it proficiently. I knows it's the off season but come on.

Lin is the best at passing to the wrong team

good thread

really nice to see how good Lin is again - makes me excited for next year

I believe people here forgot about his actual play and started believing the ESPN hype

dude is very good and can be great

I'm not going to quote all of your videos because it will take a ton of space, but two things:

1. He's in very good company here

2. Do these guys do this as frequently as Lin? (I'll answer that: no)

Clyde_Style · Post #40 » by **Clyde_Style** » Sun May 20, 2012 2:38 am

Great job OP. I watched all of the vids at the times you listed and it was good to see Lin doing the outlet passes again.

I thought Jeremy was very good at the alley oop and he had real chemistry with Tyson which I think will matter next season.

One thing I've noticed in quite a few crabby posts lately where people say Lin is not proven and they don't expect much is comments like he can't do a bounce pass. What kind of BS is this? There were games where he executed multiple bounce passes on back door plays.

I don't know what people want, but anybody who is not very happy Lin is a Knick needs their head examined.
