Sorry for the off-topic post
My off-topic post is about professional basketball:
Jeremy Lin is straight-up ballin'. He's making lifelong basketball fans remember why they think basketball is the greatest sport in existence.
Now, continue with your photo-matches and circles of blurs.

I'm sure a year ago you could have got a Lin W's jersey on the cheap. Dewey, have you seen one for sale?

Re: Sorry for the off-topic post
If you're saying that Mr. Lin is going to take me back to the early 80s and the "Coach Tootie" scout-at-the-local-playgrounds era then I'm in! (Tootie is a legendary Pittsburgh-area basketball scout who supposedly inspired Set Shot Buford in the Fish that Saved Pittsburgh). He used to do pump fakes and air-J's in the back of church on Sundays, classic! For an idea of what going to church used to be like in Pittsburgh in the early 80s check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M03pO-Gw0A

Re: Sorry for the off-topic post
Exactly. Jeremy Lin is a throwback who plays like March Madness. We may blink and he's forgotten. Things may change when Melo and Stoudamire come back. You know NBC wishes they had the Knicks scheduled soon. Also, there is no LIN replica made.
Did Tootie ever do any air"finger rolls" in the back of church?

Re: Sorry for the off-topic post
I wonder just how much Linsanity there'd be in the media if Lin plkayed for Milwaukee, Sacramento or Indiana...?
Just asking.

Re: Sorry for the off-topic post
I agree that he can play...I just need more than 5 good games and the ESPN East Coast Hype Machine going into overdrive to convince me he's worthy of all the accolades.
