People that had jobs at ESPN today, won’t have jobs tomorrow. Or so I hope.
This is both disgusting and disturbing. No real words can describe how low of a person it takes to write that headline.

MUST WATCH: Linsanity Defined
A short documentary on #LINSANITY.
After the New York Knicks beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the fifth game of the current Jeremy Lin-fueled Knicks’ winning streak, I left Madison Square Garden to a response I had never seen before. I began wondering what it must have been like when the Knicks routinely sold out MSG and went deep into the Playoffs.
As Lin added to his lore in Minnesota, and then Toronto, it became clear this story, this Jeremy Lin Event, was one sports fans might want to keep.
Above all else, I wanted to remember the feeling.
Filmed on February 15, 2012, at the Sacramento Kings vs. New York Knicks game. Jeremy Lin finished with 10 points on 4-6 shooting, 5 rebounds and a career-high 13 assists, as the Knicks won 100-85.
I hope you enjoy.

What will Jeremy Lin’s stat line look like?
Why did LeBron James say that he might consider a return to Cleveland in a couple of years?
MJ game stats. Happy 49th to the G.O.A.T.
Who’s house? Lin’s house. LIN-NYC tees are now up on our store!
He’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Looks like JR Smith is heading to the Knicks as soon as the CBA season is over.
This week’s international edition features a Jeremy Lin cover that’s special to certain parts of Asia, while the rest of Asia, the South Pacific, Europe and Africa will see Kim Jong Un on the cover.
Inside both editions is a great piece on the lost Libyan revolution, more news from Syria, the cover story on Kim Jong Un and our feature on Jeremy Lin, which is also inside this week’s U.S. edition.
Obligatory.

Lin vs Kobe.
The official Twitter account of the 2012 All Star Game has announced the participants in this year’s Slam Dunk contest:
If this was the best that the Association could do, then they should’ve canceled the slam dunk contest all together.
