Jeremy Lin… Just Jeremy Lin

Linning, Linderella, Linsanity, Lintendo, Lin Lin Lin… Let’s give the guy credit for what he’s done and not just having a catchy name.  Jeremy Lin started for the NY Knicks when they were 8-15.  Now, seven games later, Lin has pulled the Knicks back to .500 and back into the spotlight.  That’s without Carmelo Anthony and mostly without Amare.  The kid is averaging a double double in points and assists which is what you want from a point guard.  I’m not crowning the Knicks the Eastern Conference champs but they are fun to watch.  I think what intrigues me the most is that its proof that anyone with talent and heart can make the NBA.  You don’t have to be a certain race, height or weight.  All you need is to be able to dribble, put the rock in the hoop and something most athletes don’t have… you gotta want it. Good for Jeremy Lin, good for the NY Knicks, good for the game.
