Hell no.
Oh, I am quite serious. His physical abilities - speed, size, body control, toughness, vision, craftiness, as well as his attack mentality remind me of Iverson's.
His mental makeup... doesn't.

Its just that he had no weaknesses tonight
They tried getting physical with him, he still gets to the rim and draws fouls
They tried sagging off him, he hits the jumper
They tried to trap him, he passes it to the open man, who moved the ball around
Right now he is the ultimate PG. Not the most talented or athetlically gifted, but he has the ultimate balance between every aspect of PG play that is making the opposing team shake in its boots and he's also making his teammates play way above their heads.

Lin is the lord savior of basketball
He descended down from basketball heavens to forgive the Knicks of its basketball sins

Isn't Iverson smaller and also faster? Maybe some other attributes but not this.

That looks better now on paper than it did a month ago. You left off Douglas who may come back from the dead as a bench SG.

If they are getting obnoxious and state stuff due to bias that is delusional, by all means do something about it. I still see flaws to Lin's game here and there but can't talk about them due to criticism.

KJ got into the paint at will... shot the ball decently and was a pretty good passer.

The flaws he has isn't really worthy enough to be talking about.
Everything the critics have said about him, he is adjusting and showing he can do them enough to shut their ass up.
Kobe has flaws and he's going into the hall.

Lin shot out the lights tonight and snapped the net doing it. People said his form was broken. Whatever. He did spin moves. He goes left. Now he needs to show his skill with a bull whip.
That was funny Kobe. Touche!KnicksGod wrote:
Yeah but he hasn't yet made circus layups while balancing spInning plates on his head and riding a tricycle. Once he does that I'll believe. Until then it's all hype.
