Kallas: Make Lin An All-Star And Many Other Lines On Lin

Why wait until next year? It’s not too late this year. Jeremy Lin should be an All-Star. Now. Certainly, somehow, David Stern can get this done. Any player drops out of the East squad, put Lin in. If no player drops out, add him to the roster.

Kallas: To Go For Two Or Not To Go For Two, That Is The Question
