Great story so far. Knicks will be a team to watch when all their guys are back in the lineup.

linsanityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Patriots Game]

Sources w/knowledge of New York's thinking say Knicks were leaning strongly toward releasing Lin before his breakout game last SAT

Kid looks like he's having a lot of fun, making the most of this opportunity. Notice in the highlights how just after the Lakers scored a bucket, he inbounded the ball off of his teammates back to get the play going up court...the guy's enthusiasm is contagious. Hope he continues to do well!

Lin did have a stellar college career at Harvard, so he is talented. He's the 8th all-time leading scorer in Ivy League History. The Ivy League but still...


From Wikipedia:
By his junior year during the 2008–09 season, he was the only NCAA Division I men's basketball player who ranked in the top ten in his conference for scoring (17.8), rebounding (5.5), assists (4.3), steals (2.4), blocked shots (0.6), field goal percentage (0.502), free throw percentage (0.744), and 3 point shot percentage (0.400), and was a consensus selection for All-Ivy League First Team. He had 27 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds in an 82–70 win over 17th-ranked Boston College, three days after the Eagles had knocked off No. 1 North Carolina.

In his senior year (2009–10), Lin averaged 16.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.1 blocks, and was again a unanimous selection for All-Ivy League First Team. He was one of 30 midseason candidates for the John R. Wooden Award and one of 11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award. He was also invited to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Fran Fraschilla of ESPN picked Lin among the 12 most versatile players in college basketball. He gained national attention for his performance against the 12th ranked Connecticut Huskies, against whom he scored a career-high tying 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds on the road. After the game, Hall of Fame Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said of Lin: "I've seen a lot of teams come through here, and he could play for any of them. He's got great, great composure on the court. He knows how to play."

It's a good story. It will be cool to see if he can keep it up as teams get film on him but can't take anything away from him. We'll see if Carmello gives him any shots when he gets back. Looks like D'Antoni finally caught a break

[tinwork]

Carmelo will be the toughest defense Lin has faced.
