08:22 AM ET 02.12 | Yao Ming attempted to sign Knicks point guard sensation Jeremy Lin to play for his Shanghai Sharks during the NBA lockout, but was unsuccessful, two league sources told The Post.

Jamison another 20. Averaging 25 a game over the last 5, and rebounding too. Not bad for a 35 year old future HOFer.

Stats mean nothing, whats important is the W.
Vince carter had been a 20+ scorer throughout his career, is he gonna be a HOFer? I would say no

He's a Harvard guy! He's ability to process information faster than everyone else compensates for his lack of athleticism.
