I have never watched the NBA, but I must say that watching this Jeremy Lin character is blowing my mind. His winning streak after walking on at the Knicks is still going on. He’s just amazing to watch. The pass at 0:18 is just so impossibly elegant, and the last shot of the game showed unbelievably poise, presence and balls.
The gaming winning shot at the end is just pure drama. He actually pauses, the crowd rises, and the action begins.
Is that what they call a three pointer? I’m picking up the jargon from someone who took up basketball recently.
You should write a post on the “Lin” puns that are doing the rounds now. It’s just Linsane! And yeah, Jeremy Lin won again today, career high 13 assists to lead the Knicks to their 7th straight win.
It’s come to the point where the two multi-million dollar super stars the Knicks have, Anthony and Stoudemire, are under the gun, because the public are worried how they will fit in with Lin’s style of play. Both players have been injured during this stretch, with Stoudemire joining the team only recently.
The Toronto game above broke some sort of attendance record! Knicks road games are getting huge crowds because Chinese and Taiwanese americans are flocking to see their native son. It’s such a Cinderella story, and it’s really fun to watch!
Yes, any shot taken from beyond that long arc is 3 points.
Way to go Lin..keep braking stereotypes !
Whats interesting to note is that the share price of Madison Square Garden (Knicks home stadium) had some big gains last week. Also, the ticket prices for Knicks games have gone up significantly. I hope he continues to play well cause he has managed to create interest in the NBA all over again.
I feel bad for the Raptors :( But Lin is really awesome!
He showed promise from a young age. Check it out.
