IS ANYONE ELSE SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THIS KID!!!

i don't get the insinuation, what is the theory? media payed to hype?

yeah thats just what it had in one of the papers over there, to boost seat and merch sales plus alot of money coming in from asia. who knows papers are known for bull sh*t. think they just jumped on a guy that is playing well to get more fans into knicks games
 
Yep. Once he has actually done something for longer then a month I'll give him his props.....

As much as I agree with you Ian, I had a thought the other day that sort of changed my perception!

If it was a Rookie, like Irving/Walker/Rubio etc, who had 8-9 EXCELLENT games, would you still feel the same way?
 
Get over it... Maybe you need to find other things to do with your life if it bothers you THAT much.

Dudes been killing it for over a month, averaging roughly 26 & 8 as a starter and the Knicks are, what, 8-2 since he's been starting. And it's not his fault card prices are so high, why complain about the prices anyway? You were never going to buy the cards in the first place, so how does it affect you?

Yup, exactly the same way... If the Hype was exactly the same.......

Let's just add a bit more to this.....

Lin is doing his thing, today he had another good games by the looks of things, 21pts 9 asts 7boards and 4 steals! Great numbers by a kid that went undrafted, cut etc etc, but the lost to NJ, yes I know my Bulls did too, but realistically, they have beating NOONE of significance in there last 10 games..... No One!

The kid looks like he is going to have a MASSIVE future, and I hope he does for NYKs sake as much as anyone else's, but the hype..... The MVP talk, people talking about him in the same breathe as Rose, CP3, Westbrook etc... Come on! Seriously, lett the kid do his thing, ride the wave with him but be freaking realistic! Unless your a NYK fan or a hype rider/lover (sorry to the guys that are! :p) it is getting rather annoying hearing day in day out the same regurgitated crap, when really he's done what he has against the lower part of the league. If he can maintain it against the Bulls, Heat, Spurs, OKC, etc then, maybe, start praising him stupidly high like so many are!
 
Ebay is not sick of it lol

wow and only since 16 Feb too. I wonder what the penalties are for people using it on forums and ebay auctions haha
 
The trademark is not approved, just pending. And it is only for use on 'men's clothing'. So it won't impact people using it online as a promo.
That was only a real quick search using the Aussie IP site, so there could be an overseas application.

It is really hard these days to get a trademark registered 'generally'. Even like with Coke's 'enjoy' and Cadbury have the colour purple copyrighted, they only protect against similar groups of products.

Haha, I didn't mean to be a jerk, I'm as sick of people complaining about the hype as you are of the hype.

Please don't shoot. :P

hahah its sweet matt, i usually dont care just everywhere i seem to go his name is everywhere hahaha, just give some other guys some props i say :) i like what the kids doin, but hey he needs the rest of the team also :)
 
Am I annoyed of seeing his card$$$? Yes. Am I annoyed about hearing about him playing well? No.

This is a perfect spot for Lin, the Knicks and the NBA. It's good for Lin because it's one of the best stories in NBA history and proves if your in the NBA, you can ball. You just need to be given the right chance in the right situation.

It's the perfect spot for the Knicks because right when you think the season is going down the crapper, up comes Lin. The team is now winning agin and the fans are more hyped then ever. I don't think Melo is going to affect the wins, if anything he is going to help the team. Even though they lost today, Melo was getting the ball to Lin.

It's the perfect spot for the NBA because they can heaps of cash of it. Last weeks Lin's jersey sold better then Derrick Rose jersey's on NBAstore.com. You now see Lin jerseys everywhere at MSG....I saw two guys wearing Lin tops at the GSW V LAC game today!!! This has made must people forget about the lockout. Lin's jesery is the number 3 selling jersey on NBAstore.com right now, the players above him? Yep you guesed it...LeBron and Kobe.
 
love what this kid is doing and he does have some talent watching him, great court vision etc....but it has become over hyped...lets see what happens latter in the season, he plays at such a fast pace that will he burn out?
i know this is a little different but remember the brandon jennings hype and when he scored that 50 odd point game early in his career, his cards went spastic and then....wish i had my 3 lin autos i have pulled over time...sold them as cardboard fillers for a couple of dollars each i think...lol...
 
Personally i think this post is a little politically LINcorrect. Maybe some people on here are a little too LINsecure. Just try not to be too LINsensitive.

All shitty jokes aside the kid has talent and will be around for awhile so get used to it. Is he overexposed? Hell yeah but as long as my Bulls keep winning i could give two sh*ts what New York are doing.

Da Bulls.
 
I dont get sick of hearing about the kid, he is a hard working and humble fellow who deserves all the praise he is getting. I am already sick of the effects on ebay and the 10-11 boxes though. Wink wink dacardworld.... try and make your profiteering look a little less blatant :whistle:
