It looks like the NBA has a rising new star. I only wish Michael Jordan could have sign him, the Bobcats need more publicity, not to mention I believe Jeremy Lin will be a great player. Some are comparing Linsanity to Tebowmania.:D This has been a great year for sports.

Except I only expect Linsanity to have a 1 week run... Don't know I would call him a rising star... You have to be way more consistent over a much longer period than 3 games vs sub par talent... plus the reason he got cut was his lack of defense. He also needs to dominate the ball so when Melo and Amare comes back he will regress statistically. He reminds me move of like a Dragic... a Pg who can come off the bench and give you some good energy while your starters are down.

I remember my freshman year when Lin and his Harvard team came up to Boone and lost by 22 in a game where he was a complete non-factor. Needless to say, I don't buy the hype, and I believe the only reason he is being hyped right now is because he is playing in New York, and we all know how biased ESPN is towards their coverage of major market teams, no matter how good or bad they are.

Man, imagine the Knicks once they get all their guys back. A starting line-up with Stoudemire, Anthony, Lin, and Chandler!?! One more player, and they will have the NBA's first fab five.:D (Haha, lets see if they can overcome the Heat to be the best team in the east)

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
