08:06 AM ET 02.20 | Linsanity is no longer confined to the United States borders. After one more starry performance Sunday, New York Knicks phenomenon Jeremy Lin delivered a plea to the media in Taiwan where his grandmother and family live: Back off. "The special request I have is for the media back in Taiwan to give (my family) space, because they can't even go to work without being bombarded, without people following them," Lin said at Madison Square Garden. "I want people to respect their privacy." His paternal grandmother, Lin Chu Muen, 85, lives in the Taipei region of the country, as does other extended family. ... [Lin] has become an international star since the New York Knicks inserted him into the lineup two weeks ago.

Secrete service protection for Lin's ancestors and descendants. It comes with being a Knick star. Any other team's star doesn't get that kinda aura. This is what Lebron run away from... beachbegone!

They are patting themselves on the back for spelling "median" correctly.
Don't over-complicate things for them.

I don't think it's so much about being second fiddle on a winning team that bothers him. It's more of the behavior of his mother as there are many Delonte types in the city...

Playing 80% of your games verse teams under .500 is why the Knicks have won some games that last two weeks... nothing more.

Durrant goes for 51 and Westbrook goes for 40 in an overtime thriller and we get two of the five stories today talking about a .500 team. This site is garbage.

Yeah, the Taiwanese media is notoriously bad. They hound you relentlessly, and they ask you dumb questions repeatedly until you crack and get mad at them.
Example: The Taiwanese reporters who swarmed Kobe Bryant before and after his loss to the Knicks. Kobe was not really aware of Lin, and for good reasons (Lin mostly warmed benches in the past), but those reporters made it sound like Kobe was an arrogant idiot. After the game, those reporters drilled Kobe endlessly on what he would advice Jeremy on his games. Seriously? Talk about "timings", people!
In any case, totally love Jeremy Lin's rise as a solid player. Sorry Lakers (team for my home city), that I actually cheered for NYK when you two played... I promise I won't cheat on you like that again! (At least for the rest of this season)
