I'm gonna hope Archie was just messing when he wrote that. Part of me thinks he was.

Is it bad that I wouldn't mind seeing prodigy productions put out a Jeremy Lin reel?

Yes. Still, I would watch all 28 seconds of it.

hmmm, maybe kicky's insight came from reading the Hoops Analyst blog back in June 2010...

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/17/sports/basketball/jeremy-lins-potential-foreseen-by-ed-weiland-of-hoopsanalyst-site.html

...In the case of Jeremy Lin, one of those paying attention was a FedEx delivery truck driver in Bend, Ore., named Ed Weiland, who moonlights as a contributor to HoopsAnalyst.com. Before the 2010 N.B.A. draft, Weiland examined Lin’s body of work as a college player at Harvard and concluded that he might be among the best point guards available.

At the time, Weiland was essentially ignored. Now he looks like a prophet....

-----------------

...In it, Weiland equated the chances of finding a star point guard in the 2010 draft to winning the lottery.

“The best candidate to pull off such a surprise might be Harvard’s Jeremy Lin,” Weiland wrote. “The reason is two numbers Lin posted: 2-point FG pct and RSB40.”

it's an interesting article..


and now, I bet I can predict who's going to win the dunk contest (or whatever they're calling it) - I wonder how many Chinese citizens are going to be texting in their votes

the Knicks are guaranteed to be able to keep both Fields and Lin if they want to. The bad news is that if anyone makes an offer of over $2 million to Lin, the Knicks would have to dip into their mid-level exception to pay for it, therefore effectively nullifying the MLE as a tool to sign a good free agent (like, say, Steve Nash). So they might be in a situation where they would have to choose between Nash and Lin.

I highly doubt the Knicks let Lin go in the near future under any circumstances

Seems like a good kid. Carmelo coming back will eat into his numbers but adding JR (what a punk) to the team should add some assists back onto that.

The lin effect has taken over even locally. I've gone to play basketball at weber state the last couple days and both times all 3 courts had asian kids playing on them. It's not like I've never seen anyone asian playing ball there before but the last couple days their have been 30+ Asian kids playing at all times. I love it. I think his impact on the world and asian community is nothing short of amazing.
