...In the month of february, this guy has avg 23 points and 8 dimes leading his team to 9 straight victories with arguably their best player out. Who you ask? Well he was married to a woman that most men has either whacked it too or replaced their wife's face with hers, and he was like I can do better. He's also has been known to hook up with his teammates wives and when asked about it he responded with "I dish assists on the court, and score off the court" all of which can simply be explained away by saying 'hey, he's french, what do you expect'. That's right Tony Parker is dropping off some serious stats on a winning team, it doesn't matter that I feel the Spurs are a huge underdog to win the title, it's all about the regular season and few if any players are playing better than Tony 'I Make Wives Desperate for Me' Parker, Tony may not win and I can tell you who's not gonna be him out, but if you turn on the TV you would think that he was...
The Spurs 9 game winning streak is 2 more games than this player has played all year and yet he's part of the all star game festivities. He's saved a job of his coach and has fans and media alike thinking that one of the 10 best players in the game will ruin this guy when he returns from injury, yeah that's right the Asian sensation, Jeremy Lin.
Let me tell you this, Im a hoops aficionado and every now and again I get to show it off. Without further adieu I'm gonna break down Lin-sanity. There was a reason why Lin didn't make it with other teams, he's talented for sure, but undisciplined. The NBA is a superstar driven league, the best players on the team usually has the ball in their hands, and the more dominant the superstar, the more attention they draw defensively, which makes the other players on his team more effective. They are the QB of the team. The NY Knicks, however does not require this, Coach Mike D'Antoni is unconventional in the NBA, his coaching style is reliant on the PG running a very frenetic pace, consider the fact that Lin has committed 34 turnovers in 5 of the last 6 games that averages out to almost twice as many TO's as the other elite players in the game. D'Antoni almost plays a street ball kind of game which plays well for Lin, he does not emphasize defense either, which also plays very well for Lin. Consider Steve Nash an all-star guard for the Dallas Mavericks, who later signed with the Suns and coach D'Antoni. At the time Nash was at the end of his prime and yet he went on to win the MVP 2 years in a row under coach Mike D'Antoni's system. Lin is now benefitting the same way that Nash did. Here's the difference. Lin now has arguably the best forward combo in the game in Melo and Amare. Anyone that think the Knicks would be better without Melo are narrow minded on this topic. Lin's last game was 10 pts, 13 ast., if the Knicks are to be successful he will need to be consistent with these numbers as oppose to his 27 point outburst. They have 2 thoroughbreds on the team that are capable of scoring 30 points on any given night. The Knicks has struggled not because of Carmelo Anthony but because they need a point guard to run that offense and at least for 7 games it appears they have one...Tada. You have been enlightened. (p.S. Im only slightly kidding about my basketball knowledge)
Dueces!
