Meh, there’s probably a different reason behind why Lin chose #7, but we can only make an educated guess. [The Big Lead]

When Lin decides to take his talents to Houston, the Lin memes will continue, but will it be as big? Up until his midseason explosion in February this year, he was virtually unknown. Since then, he’s been...

I’m not sure what my favorite part of the Jeremy Lin free agency drama has been.
