Jeremy Lin just introduced himself to Kobe Bryant with an empathic performance as he lead the New York Knicks to a victory over LA Lakers with a career high 38 points on 13/23 shooting from the field together with 7 assist , 2 steals but do commit 6 turnover . Iman Shumpert And Jared Jeffries added 12 and 11 respectively. Kobe lead the game for the lakers as he scored 34 points and 10 rebounds while Pao Gasol added 16 points and 10 rebounds. Andrew Bynum the Starting Center of West All Star Team was hardly a factor as he only scored 3 points.
Lin's performanced might be a testament to Bryant's statement before the game .
[Asked again about Lin] "I don't even know what the [fudge] is going on. What the [fudge] is going on? Who is this kid? I've heard about him and stuff like that, but what's he been doing? Is he getting like triple doubles or some [stuff]? He's averaging 28 and eight? No [stuff]. If he's playing well, I'll just have to deal with him."
[Would he consider guarding Lin?] "Jesus Christ. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."
