I hope everyone is geared up to watch Jeremy Lin tear up the point guard combo of Derek Fisher and Steve Blake tonight. Unfortunately the Knicks have to try and stop Kobe with Landry Fields or Iman Shumpert or maybe they will even give Jared Jeffries a shot. The hype of the last week on this kid has been great as a Knicks fan, from the talk of him sleeping on couches since his contract was not guaranteed until Tuesday or the fact that you can not even buy a Lin Jersey yet. Now we hear that the Knicks games are going to be broadcast in China because of Lin. Of course people have talked about other hysteria in sports with a new player such as Fernando Valenzuela or in hoops maybe Yao. But Fernando is probably a better call since Lin has come out of nowhere being undrafted, although he got into 29 games last year in Golden State and was a fan favorite since he grew up in the Bay area. For now let's enjoy the ride, and hope Lin can keep the mojo going for the Knicks who come into tonights ball game tied with Cleveland for 9th in the East---- nuf said.
