Jeremy Lin on NBA.com's Top 10 for MVP!

Wow. It's amazing how much hard work can accomplish. Everyone is noticing his presence and impact on the New York Knicks winning streak. It has been an unbelievable week for him and to see his name on a list behind Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant. He must be feeling great for himself but not tonight as they their first lost when Lin is starting. You can't win every game Jeremy Lin.

MIP (Most Improved Player) Update

Rumors of the Jeremy Lin show are indeed true, even President Obama is talking about "Linsanity". Believe it or not, it isn't a dream. With the New York Knicks on a 6 game winning streak, Jeremy Lin is my guy for the Most Improved Player award. There are also a couple of players out there competing for the title as well. We start out with Marcin Gortat, the big man who played behind All-Star Center Dwight Howard. He is averaging around 15 points and 10 rebounds per contest proving he can cherish in Alvin Gentrys system. Not far behind is James Harden whose carrying the scoring load when Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are not on the floor. His scoring went up because the Thunder needs him to step up and play a bigger role when the starts are resting. Other two people who I believe should be on the list are Anderson Varejao who has been active when he's playing and doing all the dirty work and Bryon Mullens who similar to Jeremy Lin's case but not having the impact near what's Lin having on the Knicks.

Jeremy Lin's Amazing Journey Continue!!

What a game on Valentine's Day!! With the game on the line, Jeremy Lin ensured the game wouldn't go to overtime. An isolation play against the crafty Jose Calderon, Lin pulled up for a top of the key three for the game winning shot. Down by as much as 17 points in the first half, the Knicks climbed back and were down by five points with two minutes to go. Then Shumpert stole the ball away from Calderon and dunked the ball. Down by three. A defensive play by Chandler led to an And-1 play by Lin when he drove into the lane and was fouled while making the shot. Now the game is tied by 87. Another Toronto missed shot gave Knicks a chance to win and that's when the Jeremy Lin show happened. A solid game by Jeremy Lin and Amare Stoudemire led to another victory for the Knicks who are now on six game winning streak. As an interviewer of MSG says, Will the "Jeremy Lin" era continue?

What if... Jeremy Lin was picked up by the Lakers?

What if Lin was a Laker right now? If his success landed on the Los Angeles Lakers, would he have had as much attention as he would on the Knicks? Think about it. Running the show alongside Kobe Bryant and two 7 footers. They would probably go deep into the playoffs meanwhile the Knicks would have gone downwards without Lin running the offense. Reality-wise, he is on the Knicks putting on a show in front of homecrowd and on the road. How long will this last?

How much pressure is there on Jeremy Lin?

When people interviewed Jeremy Lin, he must've had pressure being center of attention. But instead he believes the media should be focused on the whole Knicks team and organization. Even though the Knicks played with no stars on their five game winning streak, they played as a team and that's what matters most at this point. Lin credited his performance from the help of his teammates especially Jared Jefferies, Iman Shumpert, Landry Fields, and let's not forget Steve Novak, who has connected over 63 percent of his threes during their five game winning streak. Poised and humble as Lin is, what will happen after the season is over? Will the New York Knicks resign him or move in another direction?

Who needs Opportunity?

With opportunity and persistence, Jeremy Lin stepped up at the right moment where the he needed the Knicks and more importantly, the Knicks needed him. With a year and a half waiting and playing backup along Monte Ellis and  Stephon Curry, Jeremy Lin was waived off of the Golden State Warriors and later on his career, the Houston Rockets. Fortunately, the Knicks saw something in Jeremy Lin and decided to fill up their last roster spot with him. Who would’ve known on the first game of the season, Iman Shumpert was going to be injured. Signing Baron Davis was key but his condition wasn’t ready to run the Knicks. Toney Douglass had to run the point for the first few games which looking at the stat sheets, Carmelo Anthony was doing most of the dishing. Needless to say, injuries and opportunity allowed Jeremy Lin playing time and took advantage. He led the Knicks to a four game winning streak. I know what other people are saying out there but I believe there are players out there like him if giving the time, can produce points and wins for their team.

Take C.J. Watson. We know he’s a shoot first point guard. But if he’s surrounded with stars, it allows him to score and hand out assists to his wide open teammates because he can penetrate through the lane like any aggressive PGs when they are healthy. On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls do have Derrick Rose, last NBA seasons MVP, so his time on the court will be limited. Due to a back problem Rose is currently having, Watson can run the show for couple of more games until Rose comes back from his injury which is important to watch out considering the shortened 66 games.
