LIN should be IN. The way that he made an impact in his team made him deserving to be in the All-Stars.

PLEASE JEREMY LIN TO THE ALL STAR WEEKEND! nobody on that list has ever garnered player of the week award before. nobody on that list has ever scored 136 points on their first 5 starts. nobody on that list averaged 20 and 8 for 7 games. YOU'VE GOTTA GET HIM TO THE ALL STAR WEEKEND.

Lin is phenomenal! How do you think you're going to keep the audience captivated without him??

Jeremy Lin definitely deserves being in this game. If they want to put him in the game they should put another rookie in the draft pool like Iman Shumpert. Iman also deserved to be in this game.

Linsanity has become a worldwide phenomenon. Jeremy Lin + all star weekend= "Linning" combination and out of this world ratings.:)

People, please. I'm as big a fan of Lin's as the next guy. But an All-Star spot/selection?!? The truth is if this outbreak happened before the balloting ended, based on sheer popularity, as the starters are currently selected, LIN would be IN. But unfortunately that is not the reality of the moment & he does not DESERVE to be there, not yet, not based on a seven game, six starts sample. With that being said, he MUST be included in the weekend. An assistant to Iman Shumpert in the dunk contest, or a spot in the Shooting Stars/skills competition is NOT sufficient. He doesn't deserve to be in the 3 point Shootout either. SOLUTION: Put him in the damn Rising Stars game. If he isn't the embodiment of a rising star in the NBA, then who does fit that title?!? I know this causes an imbalance in the number of players to 19 ( because I also would NOT give up somebody else's spot in that game for Lin), so fix two wrongs with one smooth swoop. Put Iman Shumpert in the game also, as he was snubbed long before Linsanity. And yes, if it isn't clear, I'm a native NYer & a lifelong Knicks fan. Haha. We are professed to year in & year out about how the NBA ALL-Star Weekend is ALL about the fans, it's a payback to us for our support & loyalty, especially through this post lock-out season. So to quote my man, Spike Lee, "Do The Right Thing." It's not only right, but within reason. So put up, or shut up David Stern & NBA management. It can only be beneficial to your loyal fanbase & to the pocketbooks of the league. You'd be fools not to...

He should be in it , and btw there's nothing to prove to no one but him self.
Also I don't understand all these analysis that try to break down his game lol, clearly he's playing off instinct there's nothing to break down, he just knows how to ball period.

Watching Lin dish out thirteen asists in his last game and the way he moved reminds me of Steve Nash. Makes everybody better. I think he is going to be an excellent guard for New York, but not sure if he has totally proven himself yet.

It would be nice to see him play in Taco Bell Skills Challenge vs. Wall, Irving and Andre Miller (for once, please give veteran Andre a chance to participate). This has to be a very exciting session with those players.

Hi,
