    It was because a little brittle azn had a good 2 weeks playing at the level of an above avg PG

    It's was hilarious and and has been shown chinamen can't survive the NBA and it's schedule

    Basically a bottom 10 PG had a good 2 weeks and nikkas lost their sht with all of China

    It was a good story, but Ramon Sessions had a similar run with the Bucks for the last month of his rookie season, and no one brings that up anymore.

    This kid was on top of the world at one point. That's to show you what the market in NY does to you. Once he moved he became irrelevant.

    High IQ baller with average skills. He was exciting for about 3 weeks. Mario Chalmers exposed him; never was the same again.

    This is all myth. He was never a high IQ baller. He has decent skills. His ability to score, pass and navigate the pick and roll has allowed him to stay in the league till this day despite having lost almost all of his athleticism. His jumpshot was the variance in his game that decided what tier of a player he was. When he was hitting his jumpers he was very good and when he wasn't he was a solid backup PG. But his main thing was always his ability to get into the paint and make something happen and now he's not able to anymore with the wear and tear of that playstyle as well as the injuries.

    It wasn't NY that broke Linsanity. It was Melo-ball.

    It was basically him holding out for big money that made NYC part ways with him. Melo did have an effect tho, I do believe.
