This guy has a great story. But when will it end? Tomorrow? Next week? When he retires? Linsanity has taken over the NBA.

Is it real or a flash in the pan? That's the question.

If Melo comes back and they begin to lose, they will trade Melo.

Seven wins in a row is pretty good for a below .500 team before Lin became a starter. Its not just Lin, the Knicks have more confidence and Lin has given the team a spark. Something they did not have when Melo and Amare were the team.

Just look at tonight for example, Lin went 4 for 6 with 10 points, but he had 13 assists and they beat the Kings by double digits. He has given the Knicks a spark and I think they will make the playoffs this year now.

You mean 'melo'

 
Not a flash in the pan. As long as Dantoni remains coach, he'll be ok. If he can score 10-12 a game with about 8-10 dimes a game, cut down on his turnovers, and use his left better, he'll be a pretty solid #1

 
Long-term star. The Linsanity thing will die down once we get used to him, but he's a legitimate player. My vote would be somewhere between option 1 and option 2..

 
He won't stay hot forever. Might keep his role as a starter for a while. Prolly stay on a roster for a few years.

I hope I'm wrong. I like the guy. He is a great story.

 
I think he's here to stay. He's a smart guy, and he has shown that he can do it all. He's quick, pretty good ball handler, a good scorer when he needs to be, a really good passer, and a clutch performer. I hope he's got a long career ahead of him, because he's fun to watch.

 
I look back on this thread and think to myself...how the hell did I not pick the Shawn Watson option? I always pick the Shawn Watson option...oh well.

Lets just say this...

I haven't given a sh*t about the NBA in over 15 years, and this kid actually has me somewhat interested again...
