I’m not comfortable with everybody on Earth now getting tall.
I did not give Jeremy Lin much of a chance to make it in the NBA as he is from Harvard, a traditionally poor sports team ( epecially basketball).
What made Lin stand out is two things -— He’s Asian-American ( born and raised in Taiwan ), and he LED Harvard to its best finish ever with his all around play ( scoring, outside shooting, rebounds, assists, steals — he can do it all ).
He was invited to join the Dallas Mavericks Summer League and thus far, as impressed everyone, even at times, outplaying the top pick for this season, John Wall.
He impressed everyone with his basketball savy and maturity that three teams actually expressed interest in signing him — the Mavs, the Lakers and the Warriors.
He eventually signed with the Warriors ( his home team as he is from Palo Alto ).

I am now a Warriors fan! Finally, someone who got to college on grades, made it through a good college on grades, and makes his teammates better with unselfish fundamental play.
