    I haven't seen a second of footage. I try to stay away from ESPN except for actual games. It sounds like a nice story but the team and city he plays for make it close to a non-story. When does black hole Melo come back?

    agreed...i've not seen much either...i've skipped the sports articles on the web, and i don't watch espn.

    media is getting carrieda way, again.

    So it's a non story :lol::lol:

    did you miss the carried away part? nobody said it was a non story...it's being blown way out of proportion.

    as a comparison...didn't some QB down in carolina have a terriffic start to their career? i don't recall that being a big of a story.

    i dunno...i guess i just don't care and this kid. congrads on having a nice run of games.

    Great story. Just roll with it for the time being. I can be as cynical as it gets but isn't this what sports is all about?

    It's pretty incredible and a great story. ESPN overblows everything, but it seems like there has been a pretty huge reaction to it with the MSG stock and

    Some of the comparisons are kinda silly...Most points through 5 starts or whatever...The players he's topping, those were their first 5 NBA games.

    1st 5 starts not 1st 5 games. and you know you don't see a 6'1" asian guy lighting up the nba every day.

    I know, but most of the players he's topping started in their 1st game. To me it's just a silly stat.

    I'm not dismissing what he's doin, b/c he does keep comin up with somethin to keep people into it. Just trying to keep perspective, and I do agree a fairly big part of it comes down to his ethnicity. Don't really see why Floyd Mayweather took so much shit for saying that.

    Five exceptional games does not a career make. I think this is a bit out of hand...reminds me of Tebowmania.
    I swear when I got up and turned Mike and Mike on this morning I wasn't looking and they were playing his postgame comments and I honestly thought it was Tebow speaking. The guy seems really cool and hell if he can keep it up more power to him but damn...it's FIVE GAMES

    yes it's only five games but you do realize it's the greatest scoring output by any player since the NBA-ABA merger for the 1st 5 games they've started in their careers? pretty damn impressive
    Of course I realize that and I'm impressed. But...what does that mean? The guy has had 5 really good games. That's all....now if 10 years from now we look back and he's led the Knicks to multiple titles, gotten MVP awards and done amazing things this run will be all the more historically significant. My bet is people in the future will look at that list and say "Who?" I just think it's out of control as others have said. I mean there was somebody saying the other day the knicks might think about trading Melo...really now...it's idiocy
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    i know, right? yeah, he's been great (minus the constant turnovers)...but to dedicate this much time to one player & how they've helped their team win a few games in a row? overkill.

    Gotta tell ya last night was the first time in about 6 years I watched a Knick game from start to finish.

    Whatever it is, its brought excitment back to the garden and that is really all I care about. Watching lst night was like watching a good college game.

    And I think melo coming back only helps the team. It will take scoring pressure off Lin and Amare. They will figure it out and find a balance after a few games, or at least I hope so.

    Remember its not whether you Lin or lose, its how you play the game.
    As Regan once said, what do you say we go out and Lin one for the gipper!
    Forget Flynn, I am in like Lin.
