I remember the media and twitter and the whole world yelling that Jose Calderon was destroying Jeremy Lin - then Lin manned up and fell back into his aggressive self and displayed the killer-instinct that you can see on his face when its turned on. I only consider Lin at 100% when I see that on his face and in his body language.

Suffice it to say I'd never want Jose Calderon on my team ~ but he is a great player - I just would pick Lin > Calderon any day.

I've seen him block Rose from behind, Lebron James and others ~ I like Lin's defense and how its improved to go with him and his offensive firepower. Albeit I think Lin probably needed time to get his legs back under him and a full offseason to train and workout ~
