This kid is the real deal and I love every second of it. Yellow Mamba is averaging 26.8 points per game in the last 5 games, all wins. He has more points in his first four career starts than Iverson, Shaq and Jordan. What can’t he do?
The best part about all this linsanity is the fact that the Knicks are playing well on offense, buying into Coach D’Antoni’s system and moving the ball around. Landry Fields has finally awoken from his Rookie Nap, and playing like the young star that he is. With injuries to Melo and Amar’e the rest of the bench is getting huge minutes as well. Jared Jeffries was getting booed all season, but now with his gritty defensive play and work on the boards he is getting praised by Coach and even J-Lin.
The Knicks finally have a true point guard that can drive into the paint aggressively and distribute the ball to his teammates. It’s beautiful to watch.
Amar’e will be back in the lineup Monday it seems, and I can say confidently that STAT and Lin will get alo...

Last week we showed you the nerdy pregame handshake shared by Knicks guards Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields. The handshake involves Lin flipping through pages on a book Fields is holding out, the two pretending to take off reading glasses, and placing them in their pockets. They also point to the sky after the routine. We learned that’s because of religious reasons.

Love scored 32 points and grabbed 21 rebounds and despite that, was overshadowed by a certain PG on the other team who hit the game-winning free throw. It’s “only’ the second...
