Jeremy Lin could easily play the protagonist lead in any Moneyball feature movie made on the
NBA.
As is general knowledge now in the sportsworld, the Oscar nominated Moneyball became a movie based
on a book written about how Oakland A's GM Billy Beane went against logic and put together a roster
to replace superstar players by lumping together average players who could reasonably compile the
same kind of production numbers.
Three NBA championships, one NBA Finals MVP and four NBA All-Star appearances make for a decent
shot at Springfield, Massachusetts immortality.
As one very new point guard in New York makes the headlines, another in the Alamo City keeps on
running under the radar.
The New York Knicks and their fans thought they hit the lottery when they acquired Carmelo
Anthony from the Denver Nuggets. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the Knicks dynasty.
Instead of getting better, the Knicks have gotten a lot worse. They've lost six straight games and
the team looks totally lost.
The new-look New York Knicks are built around Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Chauncey
Billups. However, to become a good team, they need role players to step up and contribute. On
Thursday, Toney Douglas did just that to put it mildly. New York's backup guard buried nine
three-pointers on his way to a game-high 29 points as the Knicks demolished the Grizzlies,
120-99.
The MeloDrama is finally over. According to the Denver Post, Carmelo Anthony has officially been
traded to the New York Knicks. Carmelo Anthony has to be ecstatic because he wanted to go to the
Knicks all along. The Knicks have to be happy because they landed their man. The big losers? The
New Jersey Nets.
