So strange how this guy went from insanely overrated in NY, to insanely underrated in Houston. He isn't a superstar and he isn't a scrub. He is a solid NBA point guard who still has a lot of growing and improving to do before he reaches his ceiling.
people behating on jlin tough but you gotta admit the dude got some skills. and a very nice finisher around the around the rim for someone who doesnt finish above the rim. just because he's not getting his neck over the rim doesnt mean he's not athletic. body control, coordination, agility, and balance is what he excels at athletically.
without a doubt. I feel its because the whole linsanity a couple years ago. now everyone is feeling like hes not living up to the hype he was receiving.
Yeah he really needs to work on that. Driving with his left though, he's gotten much better at. Still, my biggest criticism for him is driving into the lane, jumping up, and throwing a bad pass. He still needs to work on his handles, which will help with this, allowing him to keep his dribble alive instead of picking it up when there's no pass there. He also needs to recognize when it's better to just take the shot. He didn't have as big a problem with this in New York because they ran the PnR all day, while for some reason, Houston rarely does. But still, it's his biggest flaw and he needs to work on that to reach the next level.
What a lot people don't realize is that he shot over 50 percent as a guard in NCAA Division 1 not just for one year but for two years in a row! You have to be extremely good to do this. James Harden couldn't even do it.
i think i've heard/read some criticism about his shooting form back in his ny days, forgot where from tho. i dunno if its just me but i think his shot looks a lot better
Critics say Lin is Turnover prone (3.6 TO in his Linsanity season) & a bad defender (1.6 Steals per game in his Linsanity season and the following year); if so consider these FACTUAL STATS from other starting PG's who have more Turnover (TO) then Jeremy Lin: Stephen Curry (4.3 TO); Russell Westbrook (4.0 TO); Deron Williams (4.0 TO); Steve Nash (3.8 TO); John Wall (3.9 TO); Rajon Rondo (3.9 TO). As for being a bad defender, consider these STEAL (STLS) stats from other starting PG's: Steve Nash (0.3 STLS); Jose Calderon (0.6 STLS); Deron Williams (0.8 STLS); Damian Lillard (0.8 STLS). The facts clearly show that LIN is not so bad in either category (he is probably above average in both category). FACT'S DON'T LIE! All this to say the Critics are either HATERS or just plain RACIST!
Why my Lakers fans hating on Lin. I like how he attacks the rim. His jumper is on point. His D may be lacking, but signing a defensive coach and using team D may help that. But he a beast. Nice pick up Lakers. Damn, I like how he goes to the basket no matter who down there. His turnaround jumper hot too.
i don't know why people have this idea that Lin is a small dude or weak at the rim, this boy right here is a legit guard at 6'3 210lbs, he got length, speed, and is decisive... y'all triiippinnn not his fault he didn't fit well with the rockets and Patrick Beverly got all his minutes, and in my opinion has half the talent that Lin does....
He just needs to become more consistent with his 3's and that would open up so many avenues for his game. Also, that shot make at 9:06, I would love to see that Lin more often; as a coach I would much rather live with that shot missing than one of Lin's unconfident turnovers.
McHale cuts Jeremy Lin's minutes. Hamilton gets more minutes than Jeremy. If the rest of the season is like this, then major sports writers and news papers need to call for McHale to be fired immediately. This is getting way to out of hand. Why won't anybody of any merit, like ESPN, report on this subject. The players union need to have some kind of power over this, because this is abuse of a player.
A future all-star no doubt. Just need some more tweeks in his game, but I definitely wanted him to stay in a Knicks uniform. They could have been a great team with him in a Knicks uniform rather than Felton. No offense!!!
You know what, I first started watching his games just because he was asian. I then continued to watch his games and ultimately became a fan, because he's just GOOD
Knicks were scared of that balloon payment in the 3rd year of Lin's contract ... but then they went ahead and got Bargnani, Felton, and picked up JR Smith's contract. Maybe Dolan can one-up himself and get Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams, and Andrew Bynum.
Patrick Beverly has the lowest Pie and Efficiency rating for a starting Point Guard in the Whole League. I did the research and it's true. They have the largest differential gap in back-up being better than the starter. I could post my findings if people ask for it. It's up to us to inform as many people as possible about coach McHale's and the roster's mistreatment of Lin. The mainstream sports media sure isn't going to do it.
Beverly isn't there to score. His job is to ware down and frustrate opposing point guards. He's one of the few pure defensive guards in the league and is a valuable asset against the Damian Lillard's the Russell Westbrook's and the Stephen Curry's of the western conference. Jeremy Lin isn't a bad defender. as some would have you believe but he isn't amazing either. He's significantly better offensively than Patrick and can take over games in a way Patrick probably never will be able to. But it makes sense to not have two players on the court (Jeremy and harden) who need the ball to score. If Jeremy became a more reliable spot up shooter he would easily be starting in my opinion.
tvanliew67 Did you even watched the Rockets' games? Lin completely shutdown Lillard to 0pt the entire 4th quarter of game 6 during the playoff only for Mcfail to replace him with Beverley with 0.9s remaining. And what happened? Lillard scored the game (& series) winning 3! If you bother to check the stats, you'd find that they have similar defensive ratings during the regular season & Lin had far superior defensive rating over Beverley during the playoff. During that series, Beverley got owned by Lillard for the first 2 games & Rockets lost the first 2 home games. After that, Lin was assigned a bigger role & played more minutes & closing games over Beverley.
as a long time houston rockets fan. this is one of our best teams . i praise god for bringing jeremy Lin to da squad. all i know is if we trade Lin we will have NO point guard. this is a cry of desperation. DO NOT TRADE LIN. HE IS DA FUTURE OF BASKETBALL!
wbstevee he should have.If he did he would have gotten more money,that team would be highly popular and would win more so he would have gotten more money than he spent.
HADGER24532 The team owners are usually just want to cut the tax, not to make money. It simply sounds bad when you are paying extra money when running a team.
Let me tell you this. If the last final Spurs won when Spurs Vs Heat. One piece the heat did not have was this due Jlin. I'm glad and love the results but at the same time I've been challenge my mind and thinking were there any ways that the Heat was able to fight back the Spurs if they were given 1 small change and did not thought of any solution until I got these few videos about this jlin. Physically basketball skills he does really have something special but there were still somewhat limited but in his basketball brain that what made the huge difference between him and the rest of the nba players, he really know how to play and win winthin his own pace. People miss realized this and been hard on him about this TO and D. I can see the Spurs, the OKC, the Bulls and the Lbumless heat are the teams that will get the most benefit out of Jlin if they have a chance. I feel the Lakers will be a little slow for Jlin.
So strange how this guy went from insanely overrated in NY, to insanely underrated in Houston. He isn't a superstar and he isn't a scrub. He is a solid NBA point guard who still has a lot of growing and improving to do before he reaches his ceiling.
now that is a real comment with real bball knowledge
Yang Wang how u think Lin will deal with the Lakers?a good season
J Lin is so underated. He's a skilled pg. I def fucks with him on 2k14 lol
he defs fucks with me on 2k tho. that dudes dropping like 25 a game on my mycareer lol!
Terry Wang Lol yeah cant wait to see this guy in playoffs. Im a thunder fan but I give credit where it's due
people behating on jlin tough but you gotta admit the dude got some skills. and a very nice finisher around the around the rim for someone who doesnt finish above the rim. just because he's not getting his neck over the rim doesnt mean he's not athletic. body control, coordination, agility, and balance is what he excels at athletically.
without a doubt. I feel its because the whole linsanity a couple years ago. now everyone is feeling like hes not living up to the hype he was receiving.
work hard you get bitches thats the motto
actually, in terms of athletic ability, his greatest asset is his acceleration.
he has no ability in his left hand while finishing around the rim.....my only criticism
Yeah he really needs to work on that. Driving with his left though, he's gotten much better at. Still, my biggest criticism for him is driving into the lane, jumping up, and throwing a bad pass. He still needs to work on his handles, which will help with this, allowing him to keep his dribble alive instead of picking it up when there's no pass there. He also needs to recognize when it's better to just take the shot. He didn't have as big a problem with this in New York because they ran the PnR all day, while for some reason, Houston rarely does. But still, it's his biggest flaw and he needs to work on that to reach the next level.
5:40 damn... I couldnt tell if its JLin or Steph Curry for a moment
***** i should say watch the area he took shoots, when harden back to court, Lin stick to the corner by coach
***** never got carried away calm as fuck
I love his 3s, they look so flawless. :D
His catch and shoot 3's were up around 40%
Those shot fakes and first steps are soooo smooth
Beautiful compilation. I'd like to be able to put this on a loop and watch and or listen to this all day.
I am soooo proud of this guy!
His form is fkn beautiful
smooth, in control, balanced, all you can ask for in a jump shot.
What a lot people don't realize is that he shot over 50 percent as a guard in NCAA Division 1 not just for one year but for two years in a row! You have to be extremely good to do this. James Harden couldn't even do it.
i think i've heard/read some criticism about his shooting form back in his ny days, forgot where from tho. i dunno if its just me but i think his shot looks a lot better
Terry Wang 3 tt
Lin is a beast! Man, he didn't even get drafted! The amount of work Jeremy has put in is just mind blowing.
Critics say Lin is Turnover prone (3.6 TO in his Linsanity season) & a bad defender (1.6 Steals per game in his Linsanity season and the following year); if so consider these FACTUAL STATS from other starting PG's who have more Turnover (TO) then Jeremy Lin: Stephen Curry (4.3 TO); Russell Westbrook (4.0 TO); Deron Williams (4.0 TO); Steve Nash (3.8 TO); John Wall (3.9 TO); Rajon Rondo (3.9 TO).

Streaky shooter, great passer, crafty finisher, quick and agile, smart player. These Lakers fans better stop complaining about Jeremy.
What a smoothly play, how beautiful it is.
good for this guy man, had to deal with so much shit but is now ballin out of control because of it, shit shows character
Why my Lakers fans hating on Lin. I like how he attacks the rim. His jumper is on point. His D may be lacking, but signing a defensive coach and using team D may help that. But he a beast. Nice pick up Lakers. Damn, I like how he goes to the basket no matter who down there. His turnaround jumper hot too.
Lin has ELITE speed and acceleration. Its mesmerizing to watch. He strong too
Jeremy Lin is so gifted offensively plus he is an underrated defender, I hope he can go to a team that recognizes his basketball talent.
his highlights are like watching jordans timing superb
He is beast off the pick and roll and hes got dem acrobatic moves in the paint, hes gonna be solid at lakers next season, could be an all star
Lin is one of the best players in the game, I also respect his character.
-Paint The Sky,Blew!!!
Nice one Clutch.
Set JLin free my brothers!! Howard + JLin = deadly combo
The last play was nice.
lin can ball. haters hate harder
He's underrated now but if u see wat he had to go through to get that starting spot was crazy
His jump shot is beautiful!
Lin scored a perfect score on the math part on the SAT. This nigga is smart and he gets buckets lol
i don't know why people have this idea that Lin is a small dude or weak at the rim, this boy right here is a legit guard at 6'3 210lbs, he got length, speed, and is decisive... y'all triiippinnn not his fault he didn't fit well with the rockets and Patrick Beverly got all his minutes, and in my opinion has half the talent that Lin does....
Nice arc in that jumpshot!
omg! i didnt know he was that good! so talented!
he's a best NBA player ever in my heart
Daammmnn dat passing ability wooow!! Just simply very talented pg. Men use him pls!
po
Can't wait for this eason, J.Lin will float our Laker boat!!!
He just needs to become more consistent with his 3's and that would open up so many avenues for his game.
Also, that shot make at 9:06, I would love to see that Lin more often; as a coach I would much rather live with that shot missing than one of Lin's unconfident turnovers.
McHale doesn't know anything he cuts off Lins minutes.
This is amazing
McHale cuts Jeremy Lin's minutes. Hamilton gets more minutes than Jeremy. If the rest of the season is like this, then major sports writers and news papers need to call for McHale to be fired immediately. This is getting way to out of hand. Why won't anybody of any merit, like ESPN, report on this subject. The players union need to have some kind of power over this, because this is abuse of a player.
Thank you so much!!!
welcome to the lakers man, I hope you make a great season with my lakers!!!
I love they sound when lin makes 3 its like awesome
he has made a huge leap from last year
A future all-star no doubt. Just need some more tweeks in his game, but I definitely wanted him to stay in a Knicks uniform. They could have been a great team with him in a Knicks uniform rather than Felton. No offense!!!
awesome
Well done
6:55 is what makes me happiest he's gonna be on the lakers, that he plays hard the whole time
He does a great job using the rim shield himself from potential blocks.
I came here because everyone saying Jeremy can't go left so I thought i'd do some research. Boy were they wrong.
remember lin got them to the playoff two years straight, a few years back they didn't get to the playoff.
I love this video . thx !
林書豪加油！你是很棒的球員，台灣人的驕傲，希望你再回台灣時可以在街頭籃球場看到你打球，我也好想跟你切搓籃球，你是個很棒的球員，希望你之後可以受到教練的重用，並拿出你的實力給大家看看，我們愛你。
Your highlights are so great! Can you make one of Tracy Mcgrady next time please?
6 man of the year
Knicks wouldnt be so bad this season, if Lin is still there!
Yo, Lin be clutch.
Welcome to La man! Always wanted him yo play with us
You know what, I first started watching his games just because he was asian. I then continued to watch his games and ultimately became a fan, because he's just GOOD
I love Jeremy !!
Welcome to the Lakers Lin
Good ass player! He will definitely help the lakers next season
From Linsanity.. Jeremy Lin is now underrated.
Welcome to the LAKERS!
Welcome to L.A jeremy!
dude is good.. dude also went to harvard. damn
lol yeh he was basically like, "yeh stanford wouldnt give me a sports scholarship, so i went to harvard instead" lifes tough as jlin huh...
Knicks were scared of that balloon payment in the 3rd year of Lin's contract ... but then they went ahead and got Bargnani, Felton, and picked up JR Smith's contract. Maybe Dolan can one-up himself and get Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams, and Andrew Bynum.
just love it when he connects with howard
lin underrated severely
That half reverse though
Welcome to L.A.
Let the haters hate.
This guy got the potential but they won't give him more minutes
Post another Carmelo highlights in 2013/2014 please thanks.
Welcome to the lakers baby linsanity!!

lin is a great player, the rockets might not be in the playoff 2014-2015, lin is on his way to lakers
the last ball was great!!
LIN好讚喔 ^_^ 謝謝分享~.
Thats why we like J Lin
wow houston trio getting some love do a chris bosh highlights next for miami trio to be complete
He's gonna have a breakout season with the sixers.
LAKERS......
Gerald Green next? Maybe Roy Hibbert or Blake Griffin.
He's dunking a lot more then he did before.
as a long time houston rockets fan. this is one of our best teams . i praise god for bringing jeremy Lin to da squad. all i know is if we trade Lin we will have NO point guard. this is a cry of desperation. DO NOT TRADE LIN. HE IS DA FUTURE OF BASKETBALL!
sorry mate, he's with L.A now. xD
Welcome to LA!
knicks should have kept Lin , its not like they'll have Anthony for much longer.
The Knicks could have had a championship team with Lin, Jamal Crawford, Anthony, Amar'e, Chandler, JR Smith,... if they weren't so impatient
the owner did not want to pay out if his pocket the match the offer
wbstevee he should have.If he did he would have gotten more money,that team would be highly popular and would win more so he would have gotten more money than he spent.
HADGER24532 The team owners are usually just want to cut the tax, not to make money. It simply sounds bad when you are paying extra money when running a team.
The Nets are crazy, I would have been traded D-Will for Lin + Asik? just get Montijunas + Smith or Garcia thrown in and call it a wrap.
Lin, howard n harden = blast off
Think you can do Tyreke Evans pelicans highlights when you can. Also Rudy Gay Kings highlights
Absolutely fucking works him at 1:09
This kid has the most fucking potential i swear.
很不错，小林同学加油！！！
Now if only he can stay healthy
My goodness, Lin was wet from 3 in that Sixers game
to bad the rest of the team mates where dry.
Let me tell you this. If the last final Spurs won when Spurs Vs Heat. One piece the heat did not have was this due Jlin. I'm glad and love the results but at the same time I've been challenge my mind and thinking were there any ways that the Heat was able to fight back the Spurs if they were given 1 small change and did not thought of any solution until I got these few videos about this jlin.

I can see the Spurs, the OKC, the Bulls and the Lbumless heat are the teams that will get the most benefit out of Jlin if they have a chance. I feel the Lakers will be a little slow for Jlin.
how did he make it to the NBA without a left hand layup?
Watch Linsanity strike again once he stops playing with ball magnets such as Harden, Howard and Melo. This guy is the ultimate team player
He outran the guy in 7:00
Lakers
humble guy
good pass skill
like passing part, team fight
Welcome to the Lakers! Hopefully you still have some "insanity" in you..
WELCOME TO LA JEREMY!!!
