Tinamaan ng LIN-tik; PBA stars who can do a Lin

Much has been written and said bout the New York Knicks’ and the NBA’s current attraction and Media-love, the Chinese/ Chinese-Taipei-American point guard Jeremy Lin. And while this writer usually steers clear of anything NBA-ish as he prefers something close to the heart, we can’t help but give credit where it’s due—while throwing in our two hopias worth of commentary and fantasy basketball talk.

Lin: Carpe Diem

Lin’s sudden “emergence” can be taken in different ways. An undrafted 23-year-old who was a week away from being cut from the roster before finally being given his break pretty much sums up the whole “Lin-derella” story for most. Personally though, this writer sees it more as all the right pieces falling together at the right time.

The Knicks were starting to become irrelevant again despite adding starpower with Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and latest acquisition Tyson Chandler. They were losing games and didn’t know what to do despite the obvious talent at their disposal. And if that wasn’t enough, the wheels started falling off due to injuries to their stars (they’re also still waiting on Baron Davis, who will most likely eat up Lin’s minutes once he’s back).
