I just saw the interview with him on ESPN today. He seems like a really cool guy, sports needs more Lin.

I hope Lin dunks on Lebron's a$$ tonight

New York Knicks' Jeremy Lin -- Ben & Jerry's apologizes for 'Lin-Sanity' flavor - ESPN New York

Would you take the over or under on Lucky Charms being banned/voluntarily withdrawn from market 10 years?

Whats odd is that ESPN seems to just be ignoring this mistake. I think English is susposed to be the most "colorful language" and these things are bound to continue happening. If its an honest mistake whats the big deal. I think revising the headline and just ignoring any ill attention is probably the best course of action.

Has the Linsanity died?

Linsanity Is Over

Lin hasn't been terrible at all. Of course his herculean numbers were going to dip a bit... But the Knicks' woes returned with a certain black hole on offense.

Damn, Gina! (Not really written by D'antoni, but funny nonetheless)

chew 'em up and spit 'em out

on to the next

Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni just quit.

Lin is a decent player but he's been figured out, doesn't take long in pro sports

Carmelo is screwing everything up from what I'm told with his playing style.

Carmelo Anthony >>>>>>> The best Jeremy Lin could ever be

Yeah, nobody's comparing the two. But one of them brings the entire offense to a standstill with his isolation preference. And the same dude doesn't even try on defense. Melo won't win a championship no matter who's on the team if he doesn't change the way he plays. Denver's playing much better team ball without him.

Put the right pieces around Lin and he has a way better chance of winning one. He elevates the play of guys like Landry Fields and Tyson Chander... and sets up Novak off penetration. There's a reason why D'antoni compares him to Steve Nash (who coincidentally made Amare and Shawn Marion look much better than any point in their careers without him). Amare and Melo play absolutely no defense- while he's not the best defensively, at least Lin tries on that end.

And that's the point. Not that Lin is a better basketball player than Melo, that he's better for his team than Melo. Carmelo Anthony is a really tough player to figure out. Sometimes he makes his scoring look effortless, others he just holds the ball and kills any possession his team was trying to have. He needs to start letting the offense come to him...maybe watch some Kevin Durant from time-to-time.
