>>We may disagree about individual athletes but we share the same preference for playing the game the right way. We like the guys who just do their job and don't thump their chests and holler to the media. Who make the pass instead of taking the wild shot. Who don't strike out 200 times a season. Who don't complain to the refs over every call. Those are the guys I like.

>I guess we do share the same preferences. I've been kind of following Linn (who hasn't?), and I like this guy. Even if he turns out to be some sort of flash in the pan, I still like him. The guy does have class. I really hope he isn't a five game wonder. He got shot down a bit in his last outing, but everybody has one of those from time to time, no matter how great. Well... okok...except for Bird. ;)

Well, except for Bird, of course ;-)

Yeah, the last game was a rough one, 9 turnovers. That has been a recurring pattern and he needs to get that under control. But what a breath of fresh air.

He is on the cover of the current Sports Illustrated. There is speculation that it might be the best selling issue in SI history, that's how Lin-sane the interest is at the moment.
