Now that we are at the beginning of the 2nd part of the NBA season, looking back, it was a really bad start. There was almost no season at all because of the lockout. The tight schedule due to the short season creates the players fatigue and injury-prone situation. Everything seemed to be bad, or at least not-so-good, but look at it now, there is Linsanity which makes NBA interesting again. A lot of former non-NBA fans started following JLin, the Knicks and the NBA. It has reached another plateau of popularity. David Stern should really thank JLin!
