Jeremy is awesome as a person and I think that will serve him well as a player. I am not the admin here so I can't control what people said anything. But I wish people would just be more appreciative of who Lin is and less who you want him to be.
going around HOU forums is always depressing. HOU fans make it really hard for me to want to support them. They're worse than Etane, who acts like a jaded, obese 40 year old virgin that can't get laid, so he acts out his frustrations on here.
Lol why can't you learn from Lin, just to ignore what everyone said about him and even laughed them off?
Part of being a fan is look up to their idol and learn their best quality. Pretty sure Lin won't do the other way around and become egotistical, selfish and hate on everything like his "fans" or "haters".
KHuang, it's good and all to fight back haters on this site. But complaining about haters of the other sites on this site is unnecessary IMO. Also of course haters are usually louder than fans. A group of Houston Lin haters don't represent all Houston fans and it's unnecessary to hate on all Houston fans and the Houston Rockets team for that specific group of people. Anyways just my opinion.
You're damn right it's depressing to visit other sites and see Lin get routinely dismissed as a bust or whatever. Which is why I'd really appreciate it if the leftist whackjobs here would stop shoving their political opinions down the rest of our throats.
For the last time, this is an American website about a basketball player. Not only do political discussions that have nothing to do with bball or Jeremy Lin have no place here, but remarks equating Americans with Nazis, etc., are just downright CLASSLESS and even EVIL.
What could possibly motivate anyone here to turn this site, which is supposed to be our only refuge from Lin haters, into another hostile place for a Jlin fan?
The thing is that Jeremy Lin is never afraid of haters. He accepts the criticism and never let them affect him and let his action, not words, speak for himself.
If you are a Lin fan, you learn from him to "handle" the haters.
The trolls are targeting Asian American males here, Cara.
My DECADES of racial combat have taught me very hard lessons about how ignoring them causes your enemies to multiply in number and strike harder at you.
You must understand, Cara, that what goes on here is CHILD'S PLAY to the outright WARFARE Asian American men like me and Lin face in the real world. Enemies are emboldened when you ignore them.

Really like the video. I'm still amazed at Jeremy's desire to spread a positive message at such a young age. I may have come for the Asian-American NBA player, but I stayed for the humble human being with a good heart. If Linsanity had revealed Jeremy to be yet another all-about-me NBA star, I would have left, Asian-American or not.
For those wishing Jeremy would be more selfish, complain to the media, etc, please realize that's not who he is. This is how he got here, through hard work and a positive attitude. He's made it this far against all odds, and while his current situation seems once again very unfair, he's going to overcome the same way, through hard work and a positive attitude.
I totally agree. He should stick to his values no matter what. It's what made him successful. I also like it that Jeremy embraces the spotlight now in a way that serves his intention to spread the message. He uses whatever platform just to connect.
um ... fwiw, I don't post there though I like some of the posters there a lot. I just can't get through 60 pages per game. Not sure the devil cares about Rockets fans, to be honest.
What an inspirational video. Jeremy has said that his mission is to become a messenger for God. Well I'm pretty sure he's on the right track doing the right things. God bless you, Jeremy, and watch out that ankle!
Keys to Victory: Since a high-scoring affair is probably in the cards, the question running through my mind is, which team will win this 3-point competition?
This may just end-up as a 3pt shootout, but w/out Fino the Roxs will be on the short end of the stick. This is one of those games you just gonna have to let that one guy get his shots and stop the rest. I don't know if JLin can really fluster Steph. Steph is great shooting off the dribble and doesn't need much opening to shoot. Aside from Steph, there are obviously Lee, Bogut, and Klay to contend with--GS also have depth on the bench. They're really a balanced team with both interior and perimeter presence. Mark Jackson will have his squad run a lot of cuts and curls to the basket. There will be a lot of shifting on defense and the Roxs really need to pay attention on reading screens and rotate on defense. I'm not so worry about transition D in this game, but the Roxs zone and man defense will be tested. The only real advantage for the Roxs in this game is home court. If they can win this game, it will be badass.
Also, the Roxs need to box out hard for defensive rebounds. DLee has a tendency to look for put backs and work like energizer bunny in the block. 2Pat and Morris, yeah looking at you two.
From what I watched the previous few games, more and more teams have discovered that Harden is the weakest link on D for the Rockets. Some just couldn't take full advantage because they started non-scoring SGs. But between Klay, Jack and Curry, the GSW have the personnel to exploit this main weakness.
Yeah, Harden really needs to pick up his D today. Klay is a good shooter, but he doesn't finish well at the rim; however, Klay will run through multiple screens to try to get open. So yes, Harden will be tested as well as the entire team. If he or whoever can't fight over screens, just remember to call out and communicate to your teammates to switch. The Roxs just needs to recognize beforehand what play(s) is developing and be ahead of the play. I think this is where JLin plays an important role in orchestrating the defense. Whatever he sees he will need to vocalize it so everyone is one the same page--I'm sure he's doing it now. It's a hard job to do, but who else is more fitting than JLin.
I think JLin has that extra motivation and incentive to beat GS as much as he has when they played the Knicks this season. I wouldn't be shocked if JLin has a great game.
Really looking forwards to this match up too as GSW is my fave team while Jlin is my fave player.
Can't add too much to what Racha said except I'd keep an eye on how well Lin's teammates will help Lin out on PnR defense. PnR rotation on D will have to be tight or Lin is going to get winded really quickly chasing Stephan through the picks.
TeamJLin7 @TeamJLin7 The best thing about Jeremy Lin is he knows his flaws and embraces it therefore nobody else can use it against him. 3:35 AM - 5 Feb 13
when I posted this on my Tumblr, tons of fangirls went crazy because this has a snippet of how Jeremy is as a boyfriend, besides the cooking for Valentine's part.
Thank you sooo much for this! it's so touching how Jeremy's always trying to play for God instead of himself. Especially the part bout how he was very tempted to stat pad for NBA scouts in college but made conscious decision to pass to his teammates. I can't imagine how I missed this article before! Thanks for posting :)
[Cousins ejected after an argument with the ref at halftime.]
According to NBA TV, Cousins now possesses a league-leading 12 technical fouls. Once he reaches 16 technical fouls, Cousins will be subject to a one-game suspension. A similar suspension is assessed for every two technical fouls after 16 as well. Cousins also became the first player to be ejected three times this season.
If DeMarcus Cousins became available to the Rockets, I'd arrange for a closed door tryout before signing him.
Cousins has learned how to play in the post, which elevates him way above most so-called "big men" in the NBA. He also plays hard and actually has a vibe to his personality that I like. For whatever reason, I as a ref would NOT have thrown him out for that comment.
What concerns me about Cousins is his sheer fundamental makeup. Can he step out and set a proper screen, then roll the right way? Can he make a flex cut, then suddenly turn and make a backdoor postup, and then make the right decision whether he gets the ball or not? If his role is to step in and stop somebody, does he know how to do it and will he pout if he doesn't get touches?
Those kinds of questions, among others, are the kinds of questions I would be looking to answer. I'm also pretty sure that a two hour tryout with an assistant coach and a few D leaguers would quickly show what Cousins could do and what he would be capable of doing in the future.
Hardwood Paroxysm @HPbasketball When was the last player like Cousins who has no off-court, non-basketball issues and acted like this? Kid doesn't get in trouble. 9:01 PM - 4 Feb 13

Miami HEAT @MiamiHEAT .@DwyaneWade on the next 3 opponents (HOU, LAC, LAL): It's going to be a great and challenging week for us. 7:57 PM - 4 Feb 13 ---
Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh LeBron James with 13-14 FG (92.8 pct). Highest single-game FG% of his career. (Previous hi 81.8% vs. Nets 3/6/10). 6:56 PM - 4 Feb 13 [Shot chart]
The GS, MIA, and POR games are must wins for the Roxs. If Roxs lose next 3 and LAL win next 3--Nets, Celts, Cats--we're looking at a battle for 8th, though Roxs hold the tiebreaker over LAL. The Roxs need to pick it up and play at a high level.
Dream Shake: "Mark Jackson has them playing phenomenal defense." Man, the GS can really close out on defense and they don't let up even after getting picked or screened. Also, Jackson has an extended rotation and not shy in utilizing his bench to keep his players fresh on defense.
Bill Ingram [HoopsWorld] hears from an executive who jokes that one item on Daryl Morey's "daily to-do list" involves calling the Pacers and inquiring on Granger's availability.
What does that mean? Granger to start and Parsons to come of the bench? Or, Parsons to the Pacers? At this point in Granger's career, I think Parson is a better bet.
"When some GMs say they're not looking to make a deal or trade a particular player, it means "We're looking for better offers than we've received so far." "
Don't mind seeing JLin play for the Pacers. He will do well in Vogels defense. Pacers are not a high scoring team and JLin can anchor the offense with George. And he's got West and Hibbert to PNR with all day.
~ Btw, that wonderful JLin ladyfan [vs Coach Nick on Twitter] continues to correct other twitterer's misconceptions about JLin's contract. [Perhaps after that convo with her, Coach Nick have thought more about the thing and changed his mind...]
GS runs the HORN set which is also known as the A set. The Rockets run this a lot too, but they don't cut as well as GS. As I mentioned above, the Roxs really need to pay attention and read screens and switch appropriately. It's easier said than done. Oh well, lets just keep the fingers crossed.
As for the JLin ladyfan who continues to correct people on twitter coach Nick references, I think she should just lay off on it a little bit. I didn't agree with coach Nick's claims, but he's more levelheaded with his overall take on JLin than most. If it was Stephen A. or whoever, I say continue to terrorize their accounts without mercy.
Oh Coach Nick already blocked her the 1st time. Now it's other twitterers out there [smh no matter how many interviews JLin give on this, it's in-1-ear-out-the-other, for some reason...]
I believe what JLin said about his contract, but at the same time I don't believe coach Nick would go out of his way and fabricate something. So again I really would like for coach to disclose where he got his info.
Angry Asian Man @angryasianman February 4, 2012. Where were you? I declare today National Linsanity Remembrance Day. #neverforget #linsanniversary 8:27 AM - 4 Feb 13
I don't think JLin's recent ankle sprain was on the same side where he had a meniscus tear. It was a right ankle sprain I thought and his knee issue is the left. Anyways, get an ankle brace, tape it up, new shoes, or whatever. Just stop turning it.
So it has been the right ankle. I think it was right, left, right. His knee issue is on the left. Wow, it's gotta be the shoes! I don't recall JLin spraining anything last season.
Jason Friedman @JasonCFriedman Morning update: Jeremy Lin (ankle) taking part in shootaround. No Delfino (elbow) however. More info on both once workout wraps up. 8:19 AM - 5 Feb 13
Ouch, via. That ankle turn brought painful memories right away.
I believe this is the 3rd time the sprain happened this season on the same ankle so it could be reoccuring throughout the season.
I'm torn between watching him play what should be a good game vs GSW and him getting some rest so Rox fans can see how much the Rox would miss him in games.
Sometimes people have to miss good things for a while to learn to appreciate it. The Rox "motor" blew up with 38pts in Harden's absence, let's see how Harden fares w/o Lin, ya' know?
@psalm234, I'm torn between watching Jeremy plays in the GSW game tonight and Harden runs the offence sans Jeremy. Maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder - for both Haren and Jeremy fans as well? :)
Psalm, but Lin is not the kind of person who will fake and exaggerate an injury in order to "prove a point" as you might want. If he's good to go, he's good to go. If he's not okay, he would sit it out, like last year's playoffs. He's competitive and smart.
true, Cara. I don't think he's the type to intentionally sit down even with not 100% healthy ankle because he wants to give his team the best chance to win to make the playoffs.
I'm just looking at the silver lining if the coaches decide to rest him (unlikely for sure)
yeah, janelin. it'll be nice for HardLin fans to appreciate that they need each other to make the playoff.
psalm - ditto on the ACL but also PCL for me. Took me off the court for about 15 years. Dunno how those pro athletes return from ligament replacement surgery after only a year.
i think we are all just appreciative, just as we are of linsanity. like linsanity, do watch out for yourself? (and again like JLin, i trust you will manage well).
Howard Chen @ho_chenCSN Lin was busy practicin, didn't see the 7-6 giant named Yao when Yao stopped by the Rockets tunnel and checkd out shootaround. #RedNation 8:48 AM - 5 Feb 1
Yao's response on what it would be like playing with Harden was funny. He said I'll just be taking 10 shots away from him! Yao understands the NBA superstar mentality.
Yeah, Smith has issues with PNR defense in particular. Smith tends to lose his guy defending the PNR. He uses his hands to hold rather than move his feet to get in position to defend. Hence one reason he fouls a lot. Yeah, we need to have better backups for Asik on defense. If Greg is having issues, I guess there's no other choice but Aldrich.
So it's the left and not the right ankle and he stepped on someone's foot. As long as he's not turning it on his own I suppose there's not that big of a concern, whew.
I used to sprain my ankle a lot when I was younger playing basketball. Eventually, I never did again. You have to learn to be aware of how you step. It seems crazy, but you can learn to step lightly so you're ready to collapse if your foot ends up in an awkward position. The mind is really quick enough to handle it, but you've got to practice the awareness, like zen. An athlete should practice total body awareness throughout the day, even in regular life. You have to be self-conscious and move deliberately. Try to flow and glide. It prevents all sorts of injuries, during training, sport, and life. I started doing it when I was about 13 or so. I guess if you don't pick it up young, you may never do it.
great video make! jlin can be an actor.
ReplyDeleteI would say one thing he needs not to improve in the off season is acting.
DeleteBut at the end, Jeremy Lin's most meaningful impact might not be in basketball. God has his own plans.
@KH wants him to flop/ act more. :)

DeleteI think he can improve his running form.

DeleteIt's impossible to ignore haters that target US specifically.
DeleteIf they're not beaten back, they multiply in force and number.
This board is kept CLEAN by Asian American guys like me fighting back against racist BS.

Ball Don't Lie: Happy one-year anniversary, ‘Linsanity’
ReplyDeleteWarriors on Tuesday
ReplyDeleteKeys to Victory: Since a high-scoring affair is probably in the cards, the question running through my mind is, which team will win this 3-point competition?
DeleteThis may just end-up as a 3pt shootout, but w/out Fino the Roxs will be on the short end of the stick. This is one of those games you just gonna have to let that one guy get his shots and stop the rest. I don't know if JLin can really fluster Steph. Steph is great shooting off the dribble and doesn't need much opening to shoot. Aside from Steph, there are obviously Lee, Bogut, and Klay to contend with--GS also have depth on the bench. They're really a balanced team with both interior and perimeter presence. Mark Jackson will have his squad run a lot of cuts and curls to the basket. There will be a lot of shifting on defense and the Roxs really need to pay attention on reading screens and rotate on defense. I'm not so worry about transition D in this game, but the Roxs zone and man defense will be tested. The only real advantage for the Roxs in this game is home court. If they can win this game, it will be badass.
DeleteAlso, the Roxs need to box out hard for defensive rebounds. DLee has a tendency to look for put backs and work like energizer bunny in the block. 2Pat and Morris, yeah looking at you two.
DeleteHarden will need to shine on defense today. I'm looking for an all out assault from the bearded one.
DeleteIf I were the Warriors, I would attack Harden's D for sure. Harden is too lazy and not quick enough to fight through those screens to cover Klay.
DeleteFrom what I watched the previous few games, more and more teams have discovered that Harden is the weakest link on D for the Rockets. Some just couldn't take full advantage because they started non-scoring SGs. But between Klay, Jack and Curry, the GSW have the personnel to exploit this main weakness.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYeah, Harden really needs to pick up his D today. Klay is a good shooter, but he doesn't finish well at the rim; however, Klay will run through multiple screens to try to get open. So yes, Harden will be tested as well as the entire team. If he or whoever can't fight over screens, just remember to call out and communicate to your teammates to switch.
DeleteThe Roxs just needs to recognize beforehand what play(s) is developing and be ahead of the play. I think this is where JLin plays an important role in orchestrating the defense. Whatever he sees he will need to vocalize it so everyone is one the same page--I'm sure he's doing it now. It's a hard job to do, but who else is more fitting than JLin.
I am not worried about Lin one bit. Guy is competitive as hell and will not do bad against his former team for sure.
DeleteI think JLin has that extra motivation and incentive to beat GS as much as he has when they played the Knicks this season. I wouldn't be shocked if JLin has a great game.
DeleteI don't think DLee will flagrant Jlin like Chandler will though.
DeleteReally looking forwards to this match up too as GSW is my fave team while Jlin is my fave player.
DeleteCan't add too much to what Racha said except I'd keep an eye on how well Lin's teammates will help Lin out on PnR defense. PnR rotation on D will have to be tight or Lin is going to get winded really quickly chasing Stephan through the picks.
Once Lin is winded, the game is pretty much over.
that was a pretty good quality production for a youtube short.

Thank you sooo much for this! it's so touching how Jeremy's always trying to play for God instead of himself. Especially the part bout how he was very tempted to stat pad for NBA scouts in college but made conscious decision to pass to his teammates. I can't imagine how I missed this article before!

ReplyDelete#4 Linsanity: The Movie
[Rox + Cousins..?]
ReplyDeleteCousins: "Why are you acting like a female? He's acting like a fxxking female."
[Cousins ejected after an argument with the ref at halftime.]
According to NBA TV, Cousins now possesses a league-leading 12 technical fouls. Once he reaches 16 technical fouls, Cousins will be subject to a one-game suspension. A similar suspension is assessed for every two technical fouls after 16 as well. Cousins also became the first player to be ejected three times this season.
If DeMarcus Cousins became available to the Rockets, I'd arrange for a closed door tryout before signing him.
DeleteCousins has learned how to play in the post, which elevates him way above most so-called "big men" in the NBA. He also plays hard and actually has a vibe to his personality that I like. For whatever reason, I as a ref would NOT have thrown him out for that comment.
What concerns me about Cousins is his sheer fundamental makeup. Can he step out and set a proper screen, then roll the right way? Can he make a flex cut, then suddenly turn and make a backdoor postup, and then make the right decision whether he gets the ball or not? If his role is to step in and stop somebody, does he know how to do it and will he pout if he doesn't get touches?
Those kinds of questions, among others, are the kinds of questions I would be looking to answer. I'm also pretty sure that a two hour tryout with an assistant coach and a few D leaguers would quickly show what Cousins could do and what he would be capable of doing in the future.
Some people think he's too immature, and will mess up the Rox locker room..?

DeleteThe GS, MIA, and POR games are must wins for the Roxs. If Roxs lose next 3 and LAL win next 3--Nets, Celts, Cats--we're looking at a battle for 8th, though Roxs hold the tiebreaker over LAL. The Roxs need to pick it up and play at a high level.
DeleteLOL, not even 8th. It's battling for 9th.
Delete[Dream Shake]
DeleteRox vs. Dubs preview: This is a big game.
Dream Shake: "Mark Jackson has them playing phenomenal defense." Man, the GS can really close out on defense and they don't let up even after getting picked or screened. Also, Jackson has an extended rotation and not shy in utilizing his bench to keep his players fresh on defense.

Bill Ingram [HoopsWorld] hears from an executive who jokes that one item on Daryl Morey's "daily to-do list" involves calling the Pacers and inquiring on Granger's availability.
ReplyDeleteA deal for Granger would fit the same rationale as would one for Pau Gasol: he expires in the summer of 2014.
What does that mean? Granger to start and Parsons to come of the bench? Or, Parsons to the Pacers? At this point in Granger's career, I think Parson is a better bet.

I say trade Lin and a package of players to the Pacers for Granger.
DeleteLin would EASILY start for that team at either guard position. George Hill and Lance Stephenson are no match for Lin.
Or, keep Lin but send over Tyler Hansbrough for one of the Rockets forwards. I'd love to see Psycho T being Lin's enforcer and pick setter.
Don't mind seeing JLin play for the Pacers. He will do well in Vogels defense. Pacers are not a high scoring team and JLin can anchor the offense with George. And he's got West and Hibbert to PNR with all day.
DeleteI want my CSN

ReplyDeleteNBA 2012-13: How The Golden State Warriors Run the HORNS Set
---
~ Btw, that wonderful JLin ladyfan [vs Coach Nick on Twitter] continues to correct other twitterer's misconceptions about JLin's contract. [Perhaps after that convo with her, Coach Nick have thought more about the thing and changed his mind...]
GS runs the HORN set which is also known as the A set. The Rockets run this a lot too, but they don't cut as well as GS. As I mentioned above, the Roxs really need to pay attention and read screens and switch appropriately. It's easier said than done. Oh well, lets just keep the fingers crossed.
DeleteAs for the JLin ladyfan who continues to correct people on twitter coach Nick references, I think she should just lay off on it a little bit. I didn't agree with coach Nick's claims, but he's more levelheaded with his overall take on JLin than most. If it was Stephen A. or whoever, I say continue to terrorize their accounts without mercy.
DeleteOh Coach Nick already blocked her the 1st time. Now it's other twitterers out there [smh no matter how many interviews JLin give on this, it's in-1-ear-out-the-other, for some reason...]
DeleteYeah, I'm still curious as who Coach Nick got his scoop from.
DeleteI believe what JLin said about his contract, but at the same time I don't believe coach Nick would go out of his way and fabricate something. So again I really would like for coach to disclose where he got his info.
DeleteWould have a teenage crush on GSW offense if Lin runs the point with two bigs settings high picks.

DeleteJeremy Lin Battling Ankle “Linstability”
ReplyDeleteI don't think JLin's recent ankle sprain was on the same side where he had a meniscus tear. It was a right ankle sprain I thought and his knee issue is the left. Anyways, get an ankle brace, tape it up, new shoes, or whatever. Just stop turning it.
DeleteSaw this?
DeleteSo it has been the right ankle. I think it was right, left, right. His knee issue is on the left. Wow, it's gotta be the shoes! I don't recall JLin spraining anything last season.

DeleteJeremy Lin says ankle is alright and he's good to go tonight.
8:40 AM - 5 Feb 13
We should ask JFried to ask JLin if he's hung over?
DeleteOuch, via. That ankle turn brought painful memories right away.
DeleteI believe this is the 3rd time the sprain happened this season on the same ankle so it could be reoccuring throughout the season.
I'm torn between watching him play what should be a good game vs GSW and him getting some rest so Rox fans can see how much the Rox would miss him in games.
Sometimes people have to miss good things for a while to learn to appreciate it. The Rox "motor" blew up with 38pts in Harden's absence, let's see how Harden fares w/o Lin, ya' know?
@psalm ~ Don't know what you got til it's gone. [temporarily]
DeleteOh how's your ankle @psalm? All good now?
Deletemy ankle is fine, @via. thanks for asking. It's the torn ACL that retired me for good from playing competitive basketball :D
Deletegreat to see you back posting again!
@psalm234,
DeleteI'm torn between watching Jeremy plays in the GSW game tonight and Harden runs the offence sans Jeremy. Maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder - for both Haren and Jeremy fans as well? :)
You mean [over]posting again haha
Delete[Oops, should have refreshed the page]
DeleteThe post above, @psalm.
Psalm, but Lin is not the kind of person who will fake and exaggerate an injury in order to "prove a point" as you might want. If he's good to go, he's good to go. If he's not okay, he would sit it out, like last year's playoffs. He's competitive and smart.
Deletetrue, Cara. I don't think he's the type to intentionally sit down even with not 100% healthy ankle because he wants to give his team the best chance to win to make the playoffs.
DeleteI'm just looking at the silver lining if the coaches decide to rest him (unlikely for sure)
yeah, janelin. it'll be nice for HardLin fans to appreciate that they need each other to make the playoff.
NOONE here thinks you're overposting, via :D

DeleteYao's response on what it would be like playing with Harden was funny. He said I'll just be taking 10 shots away from him! Yao understands the NBA superstar mentality.
DeleteLOL, Yao is a funny dude.
DeleteYao is so efficient on offense it will be treason if he doesn't take more shots. Yao will probably be the first option and not Harden.
Delete"I think he (Jeremy) did great *cough*".
DeleteOn why Greg Smith didn't play~
ReplyDeleteJason Friedman: McHale said he wanted to give Aldrich a chance after Greg had couple of poor games on defensive end.
Yeah, Smith has issues with PNR defense in particular. Smith tends to lose his guy defending the PNR. He uses his hands to hold rather than move his feet to get in position to defend. Hence one reason he fouls a lot. Yeah, we need to have better backups for Asik on defense. If Greg is having issues, I guess there's no other choice but Aldrich.
DeleteActually, Yao's there. Perhaps Mchale/Les/Morey can ask Yao to play one game so we wont need Aldrich or Smith.
DeleteHaha, and the ASG. :D
DeleteGood point on Racha. Doesn't Yao still owe the Rocket's one more year of service since he sat out the last year of his contract due to injury?
DeleteEtane, LOL, I wish. Yao knows how to play Bogut. Actually, Yao would spank him.
DeleteJLin talks about ankle, reflects on Linsanity.
ReplyDeleteSo it's the left and not the right ankle and he stepped on someone's foot. As long as he's not turning it on his own I suppose there's not that big of a concern, whew.
DeleteIts a relief that it doesn't sound like it is linked to previous injuries.
DeleteYeah, I was getting concerned.
DeleteI can imagine GSW fans holding their breath every time Steph Curry tweaks an ankle. We don't want JLin to have a similar concern!
DeleteGlass ankle.
DeleteI used to sprain my ankle a lot when I was younger playing basketball. Eventually, I never did again. You have to learn to be aware of how you step. It seems crazy, but you can learn to step lightly so you're ready to collapse if your foot ends up in an awkward position. The mind is really quick enough to handle it, but you've got to practice the awareness, like zen. An athlete should practice total body awareness throughout the day, even in regular life. You have to be self-conscious and move deliberately. Try to flow and glide. It prevents all sorts of injuries, during training, sport, and life. I started doing it when I was about 13 or so. I guess if you don't pick it up young, you may never do it.
Delete
