What Lin has been doing is great for the NBA. There have been lots of negative feedback coming this year, especially due to the lockout. Having a breakout star who is a) An underdog B) Leading a team that was supposed to be lead by Melo and Stoudemire and C) is a minor (Asian too) in the NBA is great for the sport. I'm willing to bet the NBA gained quite a few supporters this past week following all of the Lin hype. I'm also happy for the guy, he's so humble and (obviously) talented, but he was never given a chance. Now he's lighting it up against the greatest players in the world and I find watching basketball much more entertaining than before. I haven't enjoyed watching a team this much since the Lakers' 3-peat years.
