What a stupid stance to have Dre.

American votes! Don't outsource our popularity contests!

Would it be absurd if he was?

Yes, it would. Lin is easily a top 30 point guard in the league.

I'd like to see a bigger sample size before I agree to that. I think LAC has 3 PGs better than him, for instance.

Having watched every one of his games these last two years in the NBA (through the NBAtv Linsanity marathon and league pass this year with the Rockets), I would say he's borderline top 30. He's a pretty poor defender on ball. He gambles for steals, some of which he gets. He cannot beat anyone off the dribble. His shot is inconsistent. His court vision is very, very slightly above average, but his pass execution is often lacking. I'm not quite sure what starter-level NBA point guard skills he truly has.

Lin is insanely popular but he's not Yao. First of all hes not even Chinese. Hell Kobe is more popular in china.

I'd say Lins chances of making the all star game are very slim.

He's a pretty good finisher around the rim.

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily argue passionately that he's not top 30, but jump on someone for saying he isn't is kind of ridiculous to me, and shows how influential ESPN can be on the impressionable.

Lin - 70 reg. season NBA games. Bledsoe - 128 + 11 postseason. Twice the sample size.

I mean da**.....there r so much hate .
we all know Lin 1on1 D is poor but look how offen he help his big man teammates double team others .

last year in the game NY vs LAL , he was keeping disturb paul and Andrew .

His poor 1on1 D and ball-secrueity r the mean reasons no team pick him .
But if u put him in 5on5 , this kid can do something .

back to the issue , whether he can vote in the ASG is a Question , I am pretty sure NBA want to board their business , especially in the China ,which has a lot lot lot people . But ASG has to consider about the ability of players not just fans .

But nothing comes easy , u know what I mean .

right. and the sample size of him playing on a similar level as lin?

**Jace** · 11-12-2012, 03:13 PM

I know english isn't your first language, so I won't give you shit, but man, I couldn't glean anything from that post.

Jesus, I'm not playing this game. I don't care enough. If you want to take Lin over Bledsoe, have fun. Lin doesn't play behind CP3/Billups, so I doubt I'd find a statistical argument to back it up. You have to combine stats with the look test, as well as understanding context.

The way I see it is that the ASG is for the fans anyways. If the fans vote him in then he should be there... It is not like the game matters anyways (not like it does for baseball)
