This is not a rudy story. rudy was a guy who wasn't talented. he made one play in garbage time. lin has broken a record for points in his first 4 starts since the nba/aba merger and he may continue

“All this stuff about me fitting in, it’s funny,” Anthony said. He insisted, “This is like a dream come true to me. It takes some pressure off of me.”

Anthony was forced to play as a point forward for much of the season while the Knicks’ other point guards, Toney Douglas and Iman Shumpert, struggled.

“When I get back, Jeremy will have the ball in his hands, and I’m playing off of that,” he said.

D’Antoni also dismissed the issue, saying of Anthony: “He’s not going to mess it up. I think that’s ludicrous.”

Forget national, it's international. My parents just got home from a month in Asia and they heard about what was going on with Jeremy Lin and the Knicks in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines. It's crazy.

Same here. My aunts and uncle are texting me about the popularity of Lin in the Philippines. Dude is going global.

I like the comparison to Kurt Warner that Mike and Mike made. I see Lin as a lot like that. I think he has a great career ahead of him. Hopefully his presence causes enough pressure on twc that they back down and pay msg the money to get the Knicks back on my tv.

I gotta be honest with you Crush, if I had TWC, I would relish the challenge of catching the Knicks on bootleg feeds. It's the instinct in me, I get off on finding a pirated ebook or solutions manual.

Carmelo Anthony is ANTI-BASKETBALL

You can't be so literal. Rudy was an underdog story about someone who overcame odds and worked hard and earned the respect of his teammates. To Melo it's comparable, and "our Rudy"...not a copy of Rudy but the Knick's version of a feel good sports story.

I knew boxing was high up... but my experience with Filipinos was that tennis is No. 2. Not saying you're wrong, but the couple dozen I worked with in the Middle East, North Africa loved to play and watch tennis

Thank you. Nuance in comprehension is a beautiful thing.

It is also worth noting that Carmelo said, "our Rudy" as opposed to "he is like Rudy." His tone reminds me of a guy talking about his younger brother. Big brothers can be very protective. Especially if they feel little brother is being picked on. Forget kvetching over shot distribution and the stat sheet. Have you noticed how teans have attempted to get more physical with Lin. The Kobe elbow was low down. The Jazz bumped Jeremy at every opportunity.

Guess what is the coolest part of 6'10 Amar'e, and 6'9 Carmelo, returning?

Jeremy Lin just gained two bodyguards.

Watch how they interact during stoppage in play.

Has anyone noticed how the Knicks (Steve Novak in particular) have sprinted over to help each other up off the floor after one gets knocked down?

There is something wonderful brewing here. Don't be distracted by writers who are on deadline, and not paying close attention to the details.

I grew up in the Philippines until I was 14 years old. PBA - Philippine Basketball Association is HUGE there. It is the first professional basketball league in Asia. They are fanatics over there with the Toyota/Crispa rivalry. I was a big Robert Jaworski fan in my childhood. I don't know if it is because I am romanticizing my memories of Jaworski but I think Lin has a lot of Jaworski's game in him.

Not very but I can vouch for how basketball crazy a country the Philippines is. They love playing it and watching it.

I just remembered I played a game versus a Filipino basketball team in Tripoli. And that there was Filipino hoops league in Doha. Guesss I just never connected the dots. And maybe document controllers have a thing for tennis

The Philippines is a very poor country. Tennis is more of a well to do sport. I honestly don't recall ever seeing a tennis court outside of a resort in the Philippines. Basketball hoops are everywhere though.

I think tennis is a sport played by Filipino's outside of the Philippines. I played a lot growing up in New York and I knew a lot of other Filipinos playing tennis as well.

This is true. Basketball is everywhere. I remember playing in the streets on basketball courts made from scratch. We talking rims on plywood and posts cemented into the sidewalks. They had one on every block.
