He just demolished LA. It's okay Stephen A Smith. I'm sure no one noticed that you were wrong again.

Unbelievable with no Melo or Amare tonight, he really had to create time and again on offense. I love his aggressiveness off the dribble. The kid can do it all!

Props to Donnie Nelson for giving him a shot in the 2010 summer league. My understanding is that the Mavs wanted to sign him after the summer league, but the Warriors also stepped in with an offer and he chose them because he is from Palo Alto.

Lakers are 4th in points allowed...that's 4th BEST...and just gave up 38 to Lin.

Hmmm.

It really is one of the coolest stories I've heard in awhile.

Keep it up Lin. It's crazy how much young talent there is in the league.

You're right. I thought he was a freshman but he would have been a junior at that time based on Wikipedia because the conference was in 2008.

He was at Harvard from 2006-2010.

When I first heard about this guy today, I thought it was another Sidd Finch story.

So I checked it out.

Wow.

Noticed that SimpleSimon hasn't checked back in on this thread since he throttled the Lakers.

32 teams passed on Lin several times, the knicks only turned to him in a desperate situation.

That's like saying the patriots are geniuses for drafting Brady in the 5th. If they were so sure he was going to be good, they wouldn't have waited until the 5th

Personally I don't think Lin would have this rise to prominence unless things unfolded exactly as they did. A lot of luck involved. If he signs with the Mavs or Rockets he's probably still buried on the bench.

It's part of what makes the story so cool.

I hate the Knicks but I'm rooting for this guy.

Sidenote, last night this trended on Twitter very quickly.

Lin does it again. 20 points and NY came back from a 10 point deficit with 3 minutes to go to win 100-98.

Lin had a great game but you could tell he was tired. Novak and Shumpert should get a lot of the credit

The Knicks came back to win, but it would be hard to give Lin the credit for this one. He went 1 for his last 14 shot attempts. And, while I love to see the underdog win, I have a hard time seeing Lin as a longterm success in the league. But, he is fun to watch while it lasts.

A note on Morey. He wanted to keep Lin, but to do so the Rockets would have had to cover a guaranteed $3.4 million on someone else. They did see something in Lin, though no one saw this past week coming.
