The NBA needs whatever it can to get some positive PR and get people talking about it.
No doubt this is a flash in the pan, but who cares? I have nothing invested in the NBA and certainly not the Knicks. However, I had no problem with the highlight packs foregoing the Leafs and Flames last night instead starting off with Lin-sanity, and couldn't believe after all the hype he hits the tying and game winning shot.
Also a packed ACC for the first time in a while, goes to show that sometimes the feel good story/circus sideshow should just be enjoyed for what it is, not over-analyzed. Plus it brings out all the "players out of nowhere" lists on the sports shows like John Druce, Chris Kontos, and guys like Fernando Valenzuela, Buster Douglas and John Daly.
