Back down to Earth

Ben Detrick wants the Linsanity to stop.  Hear hear.  The man (Jeremy Lin, not Ben Detrick) has done a fantastic job, coming out of nowhere and earning a starting job in the NBA, but his game still has holes.  I like keeping things in perspective, and Detrick sums it up perfectly in his penultimate sentence:

Like most guys in the NBA, he’s neither a star nor a fraud — just a player who can do useful things in the right situation.

I wish Lin nothing but the best.  I just realize he has a long way to go before he can be as dominating as the media made him out to be when he burst onto the scene.  No drooling from me yet, no sir.
