Now that you mentioned it, can Jeremy Lin dunk? he is 6'3''

 

3:20 -- Any soccer Jeremy Lins out there?

I haven't seen it, but I've been told he can. Probably only in the open floor or on an alley-oop, I'd guess. (EDIt, seeing the video, he can obviously dunk when open.)

 

Jeremy Lin = yet another fail by the Golden State Warriors.

In fact, at the moment it looks like the worst fail since they drafted Todd Fuller over Kobe Bryant in the 96 Draft.

 

Why the warriors, wasnt he with the rockets until they waived him this year

 

Wow, how many here are going to get that reference?

 

Yea, but the Rockets are still doing alright this year, and the Warriors had him for a full season last year and never got anything out of him.

 

Dantoni system makes average players look good, remember boris diaw, and other that had great stats until they left phoneix... NY is just like phoneix was they will put big numbers win some games but in the playoffs when the game slows down they will suck

 

most asian americans have the height for soccer. but a combo of parents not letting their kids play sports and coaches not wanting asians because of stereotypes/prejudice/racism means that there are asian kids being overlooked.

 

North America is a continent
South America is a continent

Together they form "The Americas" a land mass.

Americans refers to US Citizens

Yankees refers to north-eastern americans.

 

The guy I was responding to is Colombia. I figured he'd get the joke.

 

Come to think of it, bringing us right back to soccer, Jeremy Lin provides another example of many Americans' limited definition of athleticism.

Last night, I read one blogger noting that Lin has "the quickest first step" he'd ever seen in the NBA, and suggesting that Lin and perhaps many other players like him have been overlooked in part because lateral acceleration is something that coaches don't really look for. Hyperbole or not, I think he had a point: all the (gridiron) football and basketball scouting reports out there focus on 40-yard times, vertical leap, and the like.

In soccer, lateral acceleration is probably the single most important physical attribute a player can have, and it also happens to be very difficult to test outside game situations. That may contribute to the underestimation of soccer players' athletic abilities.

 

americans are the people who live in america, Iam also american, people from honduras, panama, bolivia, ecuador, peru, mexico are americans.

 

And is not soccer, is football.

 

I like the way you think, my respects to you.
