Every channel I turn to has this guy's face on it! I understand that he is doing well but there is plenty of other action going on around the county for this to be the only highlight on all night. Lin's rise to stardom has more to do with the fact he is an Asian male then people think. Just go look at the other games that happened last night or the past few nights. There has been a number of young players that no one knows about that have lite up the night with great games and big numbers yet Lin's every step is all over the front page. The media has played a big role in this, but I don't want to take anything away from anyone's success. That being said he's been given an opportunity and has taken full advantage of it. When you are surrounded by the likes of Stoudemire, Melo, Chandler, and Fields you are set up to have a good chance at success.
Also to all the Bay Area media writers, stop asking why isn't Jeremy Lin a Warrior still? He was one of two or three guards riding the bench behind Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. What do you think the fans and media would have said if Mark Jackson were to start Lin instead of Curry? I rest my case.
Anyway, tough lose for the dubs tonight! Where the hell was Monta in the final couple minutes? It's game time for the dubs now. They are on the road for eight or the next nine games. Can they get to.500 (currently 11-15)? We will wait and see. In the meantime, go ahead and skip the ESPN channel because we all know what they are talking about. Come back here for some real sports talk.
Peace,
Mr. A
