Its the fact that they defied odds to win

People thought (and still think) Tebow cant be an actual starting QB in the NFL. And the Broncos defense and running game led his team to the playoffs
Nobody thought Lin could do anything; most are surprised by this Linsanity
:sas: fixed*

hopefully Lin inspires coaches to give guys a chance
if your team sucks, play some new guys. never know. they're in the NBA for a reason


like the Lakers. Artest is awful and Barnes is spotty. play Ebanks > _>

Why do you guys keep saying this? It's so fucking annoying

Everybody knew Lin could play..he gave kemba and uconn 30 a few years ago. Dueled with John Wall in summer league....He was Mr.Basketball in Cali...Rocket fans were even saying this preseason he was good they just couldn't keep him because Flynn had a guaranteed deal

^Kemba didnt start 2 years ago, it was Price. Jerome Dysons team

EDIT: actually Price was injured then, so Kemba started. But still, Dyson had 24/14/9 in the win

every single player in the NBA can play. thats why they're in the NBA
he was still undrafted TYO

some dont get the same chances though. i talked about Lin in GS and Houston earlier and why they got rid of him. it was a numbers game

the only reason he played this season is because shump and douglas were just terrible at point and the knicks kept losing. it's not even like d'antoni played him from the get go. it was a last resort

some coaches take forever to play other guys. idk why ebanks doesnt play when i watch barnes and artest. hell, luke walton is a better option than artest imo

He should've been drafted if you saw him play at Harvard if he would've played in the tourney his senior year the country would've fell in love with him like they did with Steph at Davidson...Like goodness dude always could play so I'm not even really surprised by this..Although it is amazing to see

Either way I hope he keeps it up..It's good for the league

d'antoni was saved by Lin. Dude was on the brink of getting fired and he gives Lin a chance to play and now he won't get fired haha.

I dont get why Mexi thinks Ebanks should get a shot... he already did and he sucked. He cannot shoot.

tyo tyo tyo

of course he could ball. of course he was great at harvard

i was just saying some coaches take forever to bench guys. shumpert and douglas at PG were awful. d'antoni should have probably played him sooner

watch Artest and you'll understand why I want him to get a shot
in fact, you might even agree with me
