Jeremy Lin, whose parents grew up in Taiwan, was front-page news in the Taipei newspapers. But China is highlighting its ties to him also.

HANGZHOU, China — The clearest sign that Jeremy Lin’s appeal has spanned the Pacific to mainland China may lie not in the 1.4 million Chinese microblog messages mentioning him in recent days, but in a rare failure to meet demand here in the heart of one of the world’s largest centers of pirated garment manufacturing.

“His jerseys have sold out, even including the counterfeit ones,â€

Lin's hit list currently includes Rubio, Calderon, and Pau Gasol. Marc and Rudy will meet their fate soon enough.

I was just thinking yesterday that a game winner by Lin would set the world on fire.
My LINja....

[h3]5. Iman Shumpert[/h3]
Shumpert has been all over the place in these rankings. He's been in the top three, at the bottom of the list, off the list, and now he's back in the top five. His recent surge is largely thanks to Jeremy Lin's impact on the New York Knicks. Now that Shumpert is playing with a true point guard, the rookie's performance is improving. But it's not really because Lin is getting the ball to Shumpert in positions to score. Instead, teams have been focusing so much on Lin and denying him the basketball that defenses are becoming stretched out, opening driving lanes for Shumpert.

In these images, look where Lin and his defender are on the court. Ricky Rubio, guarding Lin, is in the passing lane, trying to prevent a pass to Lin. That leaves him out of position to help on dribble penetration. This allows Shumpert to use his first step and beat his man to the basket. Shumpert went from playing out of position at point guard, to playing shooting guard alongside bad point guards like Mike Bibby and Toney Douglas, to playing next to Lin, who just had one of the most astounding weeks in recent NBA history. Shumpert no longer has to worry about running an offense. He just has to be aggressive and try to score when an opportunity opens up. That's something Shumpert can do very well.

ShumpaLin  ... get him in the game

That's some of the funniest stuff I've read in years. It feels good right now guys.

I'm on a Knicks high right now. Excited about how this season will progress now. Wish STAT had knees though.

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

Lin is doing his thing.. I had a quick question does lin make it to the rookie sophmore game?

if so Nike better make that Lin PE ASAP.

 

[mronegative]

It's funny but, if Lin comes on a week earlier, the whole all-star weekend might be different.

I think Tyson makes the all-star game and Shump and Lin make the rookie-sophomore game.
Hell maybe Novak makes the 3pt contest.

That ain't important though...playoffs are.
We need Baron or some kinda real backup (trade for Aaron Brooks?

), because it's cookies when Lin sits.

And maybe JR, because Fields and Shump are still really, really bad 3pt shooters and with guys who draw double teams like Amar'e and Melo, that's vital.

But seriously, I've never seen anything like this in all my years watching NBA ball. Hopefully he can keep it going when Melo comes back. If so... this team is an absolute #PROBLEM!
