So, I'm not a huge fan of the NBA, typically just read article, follow the clones. I don't watch many regular season games.

Heard all the hype about this kid after 3 games. Figured I'd tune in to catch the start against LA and see they Taiwanese-American from Harvard to see what was up.

Holy crap. 9 points and 2 assists in the first 5 minutes. I'm beginning to wonder if Steve Nash had a kid with an Asian woman when he was in high school.

Funny, they discussed him and Kobe's lack of respect towards him on SportsNation this afternoon (have to have something on while working out). Charissa Thompson didn't think he'd score 10 points all game. Way to be.

The kid looks pretty amazing tonight. Sadly, it won't last once Melo comes back as he'll never have the ball in his hands to create for his teammates. Lin could play really well with Amare (think of how D'antoni used him with Nash in Phoenix) but the trick is going to be getting Melo on board.

He can definately play.

He makes his teammates better.

He puts a lot of pressure on the defense.

Sort of a more athletic and taller John Stockton.

Master of the pick and roll.

**** Melo. Run the team through Lin. They are a much better team when they do so.

Does this mean all of the Asian ballers at Lied will now wear Lin jerseys instead of Wade and Rose?
