That is how many championships are won. Bird - Jordan - Magic - Frazier etc. I think all the hype surrounding Lin will help Anthony accept his role as one of those players who can benefit from Lin's special ability to bring them over the top. Go Knicks! The difference between great players and great teams is the one or two guys on a team that make the players around them better. That is how many championships are won. Bird – Jordan – Magic – Frazier etc.

Your penultimate paragraph was right on the mark. As for reason he's succeeded, it's his perseverance & hard work. That's why he'll be in the league awhile. Probably will not be a starter long term but he will be an asset to any team because there are not too many pure pgs anymore. Great story which people will keep following.

And even when Nash went back to Phoenix it was to D'Antoni's system to where people still accused him of just being a product of the system (something I admittedly did, too), but look at Nash now, he has blossomed into a great player has played with different systems and many different players yet he's still as good as it gets. I'm not saying Lin is going to be the next Steve Nash (way too early for that), but Lin is a pure PG running in a system right now that's working for him and allowing him to flourish with his skills. Also there's no doubt about it that Lin is working on the other parts of his game like his jump shot in practice. Allowing him to work to his strengths while working on the rest of his game could give him the confidence and moral boosts he needs to grow into an even better player than he has already shown us. Teams are going to key in on him now so it's going to be interesting how the entire team reacts to that, and there are undoubtedly going to be bumps along the way after this fantastic start, but I'm very excited and hopeful to see his career take off from here.

I told you that your first article was a bad article: how jeremy lin will not be long term. If you look at his games since college he was the floor general, granted he went to Harvard but if you look at his stats during his career. It was pretty good (next time check his video against UCONN he represented on them). It's all about fundamentals hopefully this team can play like this during the season with stat/melo.

Lin got the Knicks off to a great start, but after that, he had 8 turnovers and 1 assist. Shumpert came in and really controlled the offense and gave the team a ton of energy off the bench, while playing very efficiently. Seems like this is the role for which he's best suited (at least for now), not starting. Shump deserves a ton of credit for tonight.
