Does this mean all of the Asian ballers at Lied will now wear Lin jerseys instead of Wade and Rose?
This.This kid is nuts!
He should be able to play with Amare.
If you put Amare at the PF, Carmelo at the SF, Lin at the PG, Chandler at the C, and Landry Fields at the SG this team is pretty good.
They need to run the game through Lin, or else this will fall apart.
Okay this guy is for real. Just juked Fisher out of his shoes on that spin.
He might be legit but breaking down Fisher definitely isn't the measuring point.

Jeremy Lin outplayed Kobe Bryant, ended the mighty Lakers' dominance of the Knicks and then tried to pretend it was just another game. Wrong.
This was the night that proved he's no one-week wonder, that he's got a real NBA career ahead of him.
After all, Kobe's waiting for revenge next season.
Some have predicted that Lin, because of his faith, will become the Taiwanese Tebow, a reference to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, whose outspokenness about his evangelical Christian beliefs has made him extraordinarily popular in some circles and venomously disliked in others. But my gut tells me that Lin will not wind up like Tebow, mainly because Lin’s persona is so strikingly different. From talking to people who knew him through the Harvard-Radcliffe Asian American Christian Fellowship, and watching his interviews, I have the sense that his is a quieter, potentially less polarizing but no less devout style of faith.
Fun fact: Lin wasn’t even considered by many as the best player on that team. Cooper Miller, a lanky center, was the big star. They went on to win the league title, and then it was on to high school, where Lin really started to shine. He played for Palo Alto (the same high school where Jim Harbaugh played quarterback) under Peter Diepenbrock, a meticulous, defense-minded coach who took Lin under his wing and polished him to maximum brilliance. In his junior and senior seasons, Lin’s Paly teams went a combined 64-3, including a CIF Division II State title upset of nationally-ranked Mater Dei of Los Angeles in the 2006 finals.
