OT: L1nAddicts

[SparklingRed]

Couldn't help myself given my background to give in to Linsanity!

Top ten plays

[chrisN]

[SparklingRed]

I guess Kobe knows now!

[Rivenscyr]

linsanity
dont know how much longer the hype will surround him, hope he gets a decent long term contract because its evident NY are profiting off him big time

[SparklingRed]

I'd be happy to see them in the playoffs!

[Chris.G]

Lin who? I am a long time Laker fan and love Kobe for his arrogance and relentless work ethic. BUT, that was hilarious of him pretending to not know Linsanity.

[BBK]

Would be great to see him continue to do well, but I can't help but think it won't last too long... Especially when Amare and Carmello are back to full health. He might still play well as a PG though, just his scoring might decline.

ps

Kobe is a douche!

I'd say trade melo for some defense! Like what Diantoni did with the suns!

And pay Lin a bit more money lol...

[BBK]

Yeah I'm not sure the Knicks know what defense is?

[Rivenscyr]

True.. NY wont win a championship with the shit D they play
But Melo is all excitement and scoring which is good for NY's owners

[SparklingRed]

Championship or not, i am just excited to see an asian guy who can actually play in the NBA and get time on the court! That's good entertainment! Yao Ming was never exciting for me.

[Stuart@BMRAutowerkes]

awesome plays from the vid!

[BBK]

Yeah Yao was boring... Lin is showing signs of becoming pretty good AND exciting. Being half Chinese, it is good to see an Asian do well. I remember at school, asian players were great playing 3on3 halfcourt, but just couldn't play full court. So they were never in the top teams...

[Chris.G]

So true BBK, i was in the firsts at school in basketball, the Asian guys on the court at lunch dominated but when it came to a proper game...skills diminished. They seem to be obsessed with And1 moves and tricks instead of focusing on true basketball and basic fundamentals.

Yeah, it's more of a streetball thing for some reason.

[Rivenscyr]

wtf chris, as if you were in the 1sts
Yao was boring cause he was an old school pivot, hardly any centres out there have a decent low post game though

I can tell you why. No tall enough, too skinny, hands too small.

[fourtailpipes]

i love what he's done for the team, but to me he's a perfect example of why the traveling rule needs to be better enforced. he can really accomplish a lot with that one extra borderline step.

[BBK]

NBA allows travelling all the time anyway, so who cares if he takes 3 or 4 steps. Not like Lebron and most other NBA players do...

True, but you don't necessarily need to be tall to be good at club/school level. Just look at JJ Barea!

[Chris.G]

JJ Barea is good, but Rubio is better. Similar height as well.

[BBK]

This is true, but pretty sure JJ's 'recorded' height is actually higher than he is. But goes to show you can do well in basketball without being 6foot+.
