Lets see what happens when Melo and Amare S come back and start dominating the ball. The Knicks will fall like rocks once their over payed and over-rated ball hogs return.

oh btw, if they were voting for the All Stars now, would you even doubt that J Lin wouldnt be on that roster? If he keeps the Knicks winning, I’m 100% sure he is in.

1 thing I know for sure tho is that Deron Williams is 100 times better than Lin. Would beat him 1 on 1 100 times out of 100.

That is exactly where you miss the point. The NBA has become so much of 1 v 1 game. It’s a team sport and the PG position signifies exactly the same role as the QB in the NFL. I judge the PG position based on how they influence their teams and produces wins. You look at it as 1 on 1 streetball.

Nvr said curry was a star. I’m not 100% sold on curry, needs more assists for me. for darn sure aint sold on Lin (as a great player now. Will get better over time). saying he’s a star now is like projecting the 2016 presidential race. You really have no idea. But just hang in there and lets chat in 1 month if thats ok with you.

Curry tonite 5-14 5 asst 14 points. If Lin had those numbers, the you & critics will say he’s sucking.

Who cares that Curry was taught by his father. Walton taught his son too but that didnt make him a star did it? Yes, Lin will be an All star this time next year. 1. He is playing for NY and will get more media attention. 2. He will lead his team into winning more games. BTW, Lin has already out played Deron Williams in case you havent noticed.

Lastly, in Lin’s short starts he has made his teammates better and they won. That is the ultimate judgement of the PG position. Can we honestly say that Curry has made his teammates better? NOPE.

Yes, curry is a better ball handler. His fundamentals are solid. His dad played in the league and taught him excellent shooting, ball handling and passing. This is really easy to see, honestly bc as you note the kid is not very physically gifted. If you disagree with his skills please check Steph winning the NBA skill competition. His skills are not really debatable (how good is he? Another story…)

Now regarding Lin, I like his game. Always have and I’ve seen a lot of his game from Harvard to warriors summer league to now. He has talent. But he’s averaged 6 TO per game since he started starting. You must agree that no one will continue to start games at that clip. Emotion is riding high in NY and he is BALLING. But some time soon his turnovers will get back to 2 to 3 per game and the Knicks will loose a few games and a scouting report will be developed on him. At that point we will know how much game he has in 2012. Its not as much as you are giving him credit for. Which is ok, bc he will get better over the years. but talking about him as an all star now means he’s better than either Derrick Rose, Deron Williams or Rando and that is just not happening in a year.

my 2 cents

Curry > ball handler? You mean his wide a$$ tribles that is prone to being poked away?

How is that Curry ankle holding up? The dude is a tooth pick and is broken down every season in his short pro career so far.

Lastly, how has Curry done in his first 4 starts of his career compared to Lin? I’ll even give you a break and allow you to use Curry’s 2nd year? Lin is no fluke. Dude has won at every level of his career. He made his teammates better. Curry has yet to do that here in Oak.

Curry is a crappy ball handler and an inefficient passer.
Lin is also not a true point guard but he’s more of one than Curry. Neither will win you much of anything.

Curry > ball handler
Curry > Shooter
Curry > passer

Lin > penetrating
Lin > finisher around the rim
Lin > play making (maybe, its been 4 starting games)

Who is smoking what?

And please dont tell me you dont know that there is no scouting report for Lin yet (its been 4 games). This is professional basketball, teams takeaway your strength so to be good LONG TERM, you must be well rounded.

I love Lin, but c’mon man…
