Lin the New Nash?

The New York Knicks
have apparently found a legitimate
floor leader in unsung reserve Jeremy Lin.

Okay, this Jermy Lin thing is getting a bit crazy NBA followers.

But guess what?

I think he’s for real … very for real!

Steve Nash ran Mike D'Antoni's
up-tempo system to perfection for  years.

In his first two career starts, Lin scored 25 and 28 points against the Nets and Jazz before dropping 23 on the road at Washington on Wednesday night. Lin, has shown an uncanny ability to make his Knicks teammates better in Mike D’Antoni’s up-tempo offense, much like another point guard that played for D’Antoni – Steve Nash.

Now, I’m certainly not going to say that Lin is in the same league as Nash – or that he will even come close to achieving the same level of superstardom that the former two-time MVP has in his illustrious career.

However, what I am saying is that Lin clearly has some special talents like Nash in the fact that he makes the game a lot easier for himself and his teammates – and in the end – isn’t that what a point guard is supposed to do?
