Jeremy Lin is Happy the Pressure is off

This comes by no surprise to me that Jeremy Lin was just an average point guard last season in the NBA. The man they call Linsanity came out and spoke about his past season and the pressures he faced in his first season playing in Houston.

Lin isn’t a man of many words so for him to come out and say that he’s happy the pressure is off of him this coming season, you can see that he doesn’t want that spotlight. I personally always thought that he was just a mediocre player that caught fire at the right time and in the right city which was New York.

I’m just glad the New York Knicks didn’t fall for the hype and match the three-year contract the Houston Rockets were offering. Also with the infamous poison pill that the Knicks made sure they didn’t swallow was the best move they’ve made in years; especially with all of the bad signing they had in the past decade.

This upcoming 2013-2014 season I’m looking forward to see what Lin is going to do with his newly high powered offense and an upgraded defense with the addition of Dwight Howard. Think it will be a fun team to watch because they are young and talented.

Lin was made to be in Houston and not with the New York Knicks because the bright lights would have started to expose his deficiencies and he wouldn’t be able to handle the criticism.  The 13 points and 6 assists per game that he produced last season weren’t bad numbers but when you call a man Linsanity people are looking for the big splash not a baby wave.

Lin needs to worry about keeping his starting position and not get sidelined for young guard Patrick Beverley that showed great signs in the playoffs.
