Before trying to put Jeremy Lin in some kind of perspective… or whatever you call a judgment based on 45 NBA games, the first 38 as the last man on three different teams’ benches, the last seven as a demigod… I don’t have one bad thing to say about him. He has been great. He dominated games with great players on the
