"We knew all about him," admits Johnson, now the coach at LSU. "But nobody in the Bay Area saw then what we're seeing now. … It wasn't like there was pressure on me to recruit him. There was zero pressure. None."

Everybody "missed" out on him, GM's, scouts, college coaches, everyone. Its still not even a legit miss to me, because he has played like 8 games, if that. Its starting to become a joke sort of.

Lets wait and see if he even has a good year the rest of this season before we start dubbing this guy as king of the world.

I dont post on The Rant much, but my OP and second post were sarcastic, FWIW. A response to all the fire TJ threads.

It really doesn't matter. Once carmelo returns, Lin will disappear. Not saying that's a good thing, but who can't see that coming?

Still not a legit miss...? Please, what's he done in a 5 game span surpasses mj, kobe, shaq, lebron, etc...

Not a fluke, he'll be in the nba for a while
barring injury...

Now how did all of these college teams miss on an nba player....??? Racism, they're lookn at the black athletes dude...

Anyone non-black should b happy he's destroying the stereotypes

Donnie Nelson found the man, but did not sign him. Watch how he gets benched when CA returns.

There must be zero pressure on him to land a top 50 recruiting class. Zero.

Pump the breaks. . .Why can't we just enjoy watching someone get the payoff from putting the time and effort in? Some people take the long way to the league.

Signed,

Ben Wallace

The fact that both of these guys ended up sticking in the league shows that while the system isn't perfect. . .it works.

Let's quit setting up Lin for failure and listen to what he says after each game: he's working hard, learning, and trying to be a part of his team. If the Knicks found the next MJ, Kobe, Shaq, or Lebron it will take more than six games to decide that.

If you don't get the playing time, you don't get noticed.
