There are way more Asian Americans in the Northeast than in Texas too, thus a bigger following. Wasted a crazy good opportunity :\
Don't mean to single you out individually, Jinki?s, but there really is too much of a focal on Lin's ethnicity and marketability, as opposed to what he did during Linsanity.
It was amazing. Is an approximate $8M a season too much homage for the best Knick moment since the end of last century? No doubt it is!
But with all that potential.
With the added tutelage of Kidd.
With a team raring for resurgence after such a bipolar season.
I can't fathom the talk of ethnicity, MSG stock, endorsement and so forth, as re-signing Lin would merely be about improving a team whose M.O is clearly about achieving as much as it can in 3 years.
Forget cost, forget melanin count and genetic markers, make the move for the Knicks. If it doesn't work out, at least we'll know via experience. Not, as it would inevitably be, through watching Rockets' recaps and highlights, wondering if it would've been the same here had Dolan not got his lacy undies in a twist.
