Fair point Bad, I guess I was talking about relevancy in the NBA, but you are correct, in Asian countries he has instant hero status.

I never thought I’d defend Lin but Felton is an arrogant punk that thinks he’s much better than he is. “Raysanity” won’t even last as long as “Linsanity”.

Not in China it don’t.Dats when you are Lin and where the Phat $$$$$ be. Plus $5 million/yr gets you a palace in Houston, only a 2 bed condo in Hell’s Kitchen NYC.

Rockets smackdown on Knicks tonight. Guess I’m right again about Lin. Sucks being so smart.

It’s the media hyping this stuff up

If I was any Knicks player I would just say do u have any questions about Knicks players or our team

One’s playing for a nearly undefeated team.
The other looks like the second coming of Smush Parker.
Marketing tends to go down the drain when you prove you aren’t worth your contract.

First I’ve heard of any comparisons.
One has 8 years in the league, and attitude/conditioning problems.
One doesn’t, plus has a whole country following him. Plus pays for himself with increased media exposure/merchandising.

Agree. I was wondering where that was coming from. Knicks have other things to focus on like maintaining this level of consistency.

Lin got paid, Ray got in shape, hope Knicks win and Lin Kobe38s Ray.

Smartest move the Knicks ever made since drafting Patrick Ewing is not buying into the media hype & over paying this kid. Basically got Brewer & Felton for what he alone would’ve cost them.

I don’t think it has more to do with the media than the players. For the past week the Knick players are constantly getting asked loaded questions about Lin. Stuff like: do you think Lin is earning his contract? how do you feel that Lin makes more money than you?

I actually think the Knicks are doing a good job of answering these questions especially when saying “no comment” gets interpreted as you have a problem with Lin.

Never seen a player get so much ‘dish’ from other players.

It was a 27 million contract he got. I could list a hundred other contracts where the current player isn’t earning half of his salary and many of those contracts are for a lot more money and years.

One is an above average point guard who can pass, score and defend. And the other is Jeremy Lin. Right now Lin is passing the ball well, but his defense and scoring are horrendous. Even his own coach limits his minutes in the 4th quarter because he’s hurting the team. He’s getting paid like a star but playing like a backup.
