Lin learns lesson

Knicks point guard
Jeremy Lin has a very bright future.

You know, I suspected a lot of haters (like the idiotic Stephen A. Smith) would come out and ‘hate’ on New York Knicks young point guard Jeremy Lin after his 1-for-11, eight-point, eight-turnover performance against the Miami Heat last Thursday, but the fact of the matter is that Lin has already established himself as one of the best young floor leaders in the game today – and one that many teams now wish they had as their own floor leader.

Yes, Lin got embarrassed on several occasions, but nevertheless, he can clearly play the game and has as bright a future as any young point guard in the game today. Just think about it … how many teams have starting point guards that you’d replace with Lin.

Lookin’ For Love in All the Wrong Places!

LeBron James is looking for love,
but Blake Griffin say get that outta' here!

I was looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in too many faces
Searching your eyes, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
Another heart, lookin' for love

 - Waylon Jennings

Okay, I’ve read into LeBron James’ Twitter post just after Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin posterized Oklahoma Thunder City center Kendrick Perkins and here’s what I believe.

James is still clearly looking for love these days NBA fans. He’s looking for the love he lost on a global scale when he dissed the Cleveland Cavaliers on national TV, without so much as a warning, in order to take ‘his talents to South Beach’.

With a fictional dunk of the
year title on his mind, clearly
LeBron James is still immature.

"Dunk of the Year! @blakegriffin just dunked on Kendrick Perkins so hard!!! Wow! I guess I'm No. 2 now. Move over #6," James tweeted, clearly making a reference to his own highlight reel dunk over Chicago Bulls point guard John Lucas III the day before.

With comments like “Wow! I guess I'm No. 2 now. Move over #6," James will never, ever endear himself to any hoops fan outside of his beloved South Beach.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … LeBron James ruined his legacy not by leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers, but by how he did it.

Then, to add to his misfortune, James checked out mentally like never before in quitting against Boston in his final playoff appearance for the Cavaliers – before doing so in even more stunning fashion in last season’s NBA Finals collapse against Dallas.

Oh yeah roundball lovers, LeBron James is looking for love – but unfortunately, James is looking for love in all the wrong places!

Things Looking Fine Thanks to Ivan!

Ivan Lendl has Andy Murray looking a lot better mentally
 in no time at all!

Things are definitely on the upswing for World No. 4 Andy Murray thanks to the contributions of eight-time grand slam title winner Ivan Lendl. The former superstar agreed to coach Murray early this year and has the formerly fragile Murray like a rock of mental stability in no time at all. Murray refrained from the often childish displays of anger, confusion and frustration that have both, marked and plagued his career.

Andy Murray-Ivan Lendl Marriage at Work!

While I abhor Andy Murray (not nearly as much as my daughter though) I’ve got to say that something looks different about Murray since the start of the Aussie Open and I swear it’s all because of Ivan Lendl’s mentoring. 

Hell, to keep it totally honest with you, Murray has looked a lot like the stoic Lendl in beating the hell out of every opponent he’s faced so far this season. It should be very interesting to see hw Murray handles the upper echelon players this coming week, but as of right now – all systems are definitely go for the enigmatic Scot. 

Murray Hires Lendl, But …

World No. 4 Andy Murray is finally getting away from Mummy’s tutelage in order to break his career winless grand slam streak in 2012. To this end, the much-maligned native of Scotland has hired former ATP World Tour legend and eight-time grand slam winner Ivan Lendl in order to help him get over the proverbial ‘hump’ and finally win his elusive first grand slam title.

However, I’m going on record right now Eye on Sports readers, to say that Lendl’s greatest task will be helping the emotional Murray master the mental aspects of the game ..  and it’s an unenviable task I’m not sure even the great Lendl can pull off, particularly seeing as how this is his first attempt at coaching a high level professional player.
