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?
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!
) 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!
