Kim's pal told MediaTakeOut.com, "She thinks [Jeremy] is cute, and she's good friend's with [Jeremy's teammate Carmelo Anthony's wife] Lala. It's going to be a double date."

Knicks were losing to teams they should have beaten, and now they are (Lakers included).....so now they have to play the Bulls/Miami/Thunder every other day.

Kid deserves some praise right about now, hope he keeps proving me wrong.

It's like saying "LeBron is a beast, but when he's matched up against a SF that is as strong as he is, he's in trouble!!" because damn near no other SF in the league can match up with him physically.

But when you're the ONLY ball handler when you're out on the court and don't have the luxury of passing off to a D Wade or Dirk that can create their own shot, it's inevitable to have a lot of turnovers.



Let's look at the league leaders in turnovers shall we...

1-Russell Westbrook (not a shocker)
2-Deron Williams
3-John Wall
4-Rajon Rondo
5-Lebron James
6-Kobe Bryant
7-Kevin Durant
8-Steve Nash
9-Monta Ellis
10-Ricky Rubio


With the exception of Wall, Ellis, and Rubio, everyone on that list made the All-Star team this year
And to piggyback this post : Rose's MVP year, he was in the top ten in turnovers...and Wade was a league leader for many seasons before Lebron came to town and took the ball out of his hands.  Fact is, if you have the ball in your hands, you're going to be turnover prone. 

Of course, Lin has to decrease his turnovers.  Goes without saying.  No need to harp on it after every high turnover game, and it's pretty ridiculous that it's all one poster could talk about after Lin hit the GW. 

It's going to take time for Lin to bring his turnovers down ... but he's still going to be a league leader in T/Os... and judging by who's in the top ten, I think he'll be ok.

Jeremy Lin had a reputation for missing shots, and not one team took a chance on him in the NBA draft. So, how did Lin go from poor shooter to shooting star? Meet Doc Scheppler.

He's the man who helped the Knicks ' sensation become a scoring threat by improving his jump shot and proving everyone else wrong.

"I laugh now when I hear people say he's not a very good shooter," said Scheppler, a 58-year-old girls basketball coach at a private high school in northern California.

Scheppler said he spent some 400 hours in the gym with Lin last fall. And it paid off.

The results were on display Tuesday night in Toronto , where Lin swished a go-ahead three-pointer with .5 seconds remaining, continuing his remarkable streak as the Knicks ' new point guard. Last night, as the Knicks stretched their Lin-ning streak to seven games, he scored only 10 points in limited minutes in a 100-85 blowout of the Sacramento Kings after averaging 26.8 points during his first six games.

Lin's story is even more amazing because no one seemed to see this coming. Lin wasn't offered a college scholarship to play basketball, was passed over by all 30 NBA teams in the 2010 draft, and was waived by two NBA teams.

"I realize that's only because that's what people have heard or read about him," Scheppler said, "but I was in the gym with him and I watched him shoot and it's just the most beautiful shot when he's got the repeatable stroke going."

Lin credited Scheppler during his postgame news conference Tuesday night, saying he had the confidence to take that pressure-filled, tiebreaking shot because of their work together.

Scheppler, who has coached at Pinewood School in Los Altos, Calif., for 34 years and has won five state championships, says Lin sent him a text message later that night that said, "That was all you."

"He helped me a ton with my shot, and so I'm not going to stop shooting if I think it's a good shot," Lin said after Tuesday's victory. "I understand my percentage is low. That's obviously a criticism people have of me."

But according to Scheppler, that won't be a criticism for long.

"His shot has changed," Kings coach Keith Smart said before last night's game. Smart coached Lin with the Golden State Warriors last season.

Lin's high school coach, Peter Diepenbrock, introduced Lin to Scheppler a few years ago when Lin was at Harvard, but they worked together only every now and again, Scheppler said. That changed last August when Lin made improving his jump shot a priority. They worked together three or four times a week until the NBA lockout ended in December, Scheppler said.

At first, their work focused on rebuilding Lin's shot by improving his footwork, lowering his release point and training him not to jump so high before he shoots.

"The best shooters, it's not that their releases are quick, it's their feet that are quick," Scheppler said. "The best ones jump quick, but not high. So we did that with Jeremy, and we sped up his actual release time . . . and then it became just a thing of repeatable beauty."

Often they played a game Scheppler calls "Beat the ghost," in which Lin had to make 21 catch-and-shoot three-pointers before he missed seven -- or else start all over.

"That's where I saw how much of a competitor he is," he said. "He'd say, 'I have to win.' "

Scheppler said that by the end of their time together, Lin typically hit 70 percent to 75 percent of the three-pointers.

"Some of the shots we've worked on, he hasn't even brought them out of his bag yet," Scheppler said. "I would watch him shoot and say to myself, 'This guy is going to tear it up.'

"It was just a matter of getting the opportunity."

Kim Kardashian to Date Jeremy Lin?



Kim Kardashian is reportedly scheduled to meet with New York Knicks star Jeremy Lin, with the hope of building a romantic relationship.

A source close to the reality TV personality claims that she is interested in getting to know 23-year-old Lin, who recently made history as the second highest scoring player over a period of four game starts, according to MediaTO.

"She thinks [Jeremy] is cute, and she's good friend's with [Knicks player Carmelo Anthony's wife] Lala. It's going to be a double date," a source told MTO.

Kardashian, 31, received widespread backlash for abruptly ending her 72-day marriage to New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries in October, and although their divorce is yet to be finalized the socialite is allegedly ready to move on and has not ruled out getting married for a third time.

While it is unclear just how serious Kardashian is about the Knicks point guard, she has made it clear that she has no plans to film her next wedding, after filming her lavish nuptials to Humphries.

"If you were to ask me now, that's not what I want ... I would just want it to be so special, with our family and close friends, and that's it. Somewhere on a deserted island, very private. No cameras," Kardashian told Allure Magazine.

While Kardashian's intentions are said to be genuine for Lin, critics have accused her of simply trying to rehash her tarnished image.

Lin adoration, dubbed "Linsanity" by Knicks fans, has become an global phenomenon in recent weeks after his skills helped his team win its seventh game straight following a series of losses, and critics have taken to Twitter to express their concern that Kardashian may be trying to bask in his limelight.

"This chick is well beyond ridiculous. RT @BlkSportsOnline: BSO: Kim Kardashian Wants a Date With Jeremy Lin," Mellie Kapowski tweeted.

"She tries to date everything that's popular now RT @BlkSportsOnline: BSO: Kim Kardashian Wants a Date With Jeremy Lin," Charles Penn tweeted.

"She will do anything to stay relevant RT @LosoDrizzyBanks: So Kim Kardashian publicist arranged a date between her and Jeremy Lin," Dion Penn tweeted.

Kardashian is believed to have turned to her publicist, who has arranged a double date with Lin, his Knicks teammate Carmelo Anthony and his wife Lala.
