The heat finally got too hot for Jeremy Lin…at least for now. Last night in an eagerly anticipated matchup with the surging Miami Heat, the NBA’s unfathomable new phenom got roasted as the New York Knicks’ sudden new star melted under the searing lights of a national TNT television audience. Lin struggled from [...]

Just steps away from Broadway on New York City’s biggest stage this weekend NBA’s Jeremy Lin was once again the SHOW! Captivating a sold out Madison Square Garden as well as a fixated network television audience, Jeremy Lin’s scintillating play on the basketball court is worthy of another Broadway type encore performance. Lin directed [...] Has the “king without a ring” really become this delusional? Does the capricious number six from South Beach actually think basketball fans, especially those in Cleveland, believe his recent revelation? Has the coveted NBA championship crown he imagines perched atop his 6’8″ frame pressed so forcefully against his brain matter that it’s now causing the two time NBA MVP to utter such ridiculous nonsense? [...] The NBA Linsanity surrounding the New York Knicks’ point guard Jeremy Lin has ridiculously turned into racial hyper-sensitivity. Yesterday, the Linsanity meter reached another high although it had nothing to do with Jeremy Lin’s performance on the basketball court. With Linsanity permeating every segment of society, it was only a matter of time that [...] On this 14th day of February, love should be willingly offered, genuinely expressed and universally shared by all…both on and off the playing field, basketball court, hockey rink, boxing ring and even broadcast booth. However, a rash of ugly and unnecessary utterances from the athletic world seem to be crushing Cupid’s big day and transforming it into a verbal Valentine’s [...] Following this NFL season’s all-consuming bout with Tebow-mania, no one in the world of sports – players, coaches or fans – could have seen anything resembling this totally unexpected spell of “Lin-sanity” coming. No one in the field of sports media – journalists, sportscasters or bloggers – could have predicted another Tim Tebow-like, or in this case,”Lin-sane” [...]
Yesterday’s web trending results confirmed that a ferocious dunk on a respected defender will monopolize coverage on every sports media outlet.
But, even when a posterizing play sets the sports media world ablaze, history will prove that one electrifying dunk does not guarantee a player’s long term NBA success.
[...] Yesterday’s highly anticipated start to the 2011 – 2012 NBA season brought as much Yuletide cheer to basketball fans watching the five game marathon on TNT, ABC and ESPN as a shovel full of coal in a Christmas stocking hanging from the fireplace. Following an abbreviated pre-season due to a protracted labor negotiation, yesterday’s [...] NBA all star center Dwight Howard continues his “long and whining road” with the Orlando Magic. Though eligible to opt out of his current contract with the Magic in July 2012, Howard yesterday reiterated his request to be traded to either the Dallas Mavericks, the New Jersey Nets or the Los Angeles Lakers. Speculation [...] To best understand the woeful state of the fractured NBA labor negotiations is to envision a tattered net clinging to a bent rim, barely bolted to a shattered backboard, teetering over a littered, slippery floor in an unlit, abandoned gymnasium. Not a pretty metaphor, but a poignant picture nonetheless of the painstakingly protracted [...] |
