With so much love for Tebow on the site, I'm curious as to why there is no attention for the New York's newest star? He is not your standard stereotype for a basketball player. He is an Asian-American from Palo Alto with a degree from Harvard. This kid was sleeping on his brother's couch last week and now he is on top of the basketball world.

Recent 3 game stats:
5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 25 pts
2 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 28 pts
4 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 23 pts.

These are Lebron James type of numbers. Is this kid the real deal?

I was going to post after tonight's game! laugh out loud

I haven't been this excited about Knicks basketball since the 1999 Finals. I hope he is 1/2 as good as he's been so far! I don't like ball hog basketball and it will be interesting when Anthony comes back. I wished Knicks got CP3 over Melo somehow but maybe we have a 3/4 CP3 of our own!

Put him together with tebow is insulting his skill of passing ball to his teammate.

lol I never said anything about being the next Jordan. and you're right, it was against the Nets, Jazz and Wizards. If he drops another solid double-double tonight on the Lakers though, I am sold.

Yup, I'd have CP3 over Melo any day. If Lin pans out to be for real, NY got a steal with one of the purest PGs in the league.

You made one comment, how can I direct that towards you? I'm generalizing Knicks fans. I love Lin. He played with Dallas couple years ago and I wished they would have kept him then.

Although I want to support and give props to my fellow Asian (since there really aren't many Asian players in the NBA....maybe 2-3 and less now since Yao Ming retired), I have to agree that it's only 3 fricken' games! He's all over the news the last few days!

Lin is going against Derek Fisher and Steve Blake tonight, IJS

I'm sure his streak of overblown terror will continue.

It's going to be tough with the 2 seven footers.

You mean like it was tough for J.J. Barea against those same 2 seven footers in the playoffs last year?
