GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Apart from all the Jeremy Lin headlines, the New York Knicks think they are a story, too.
While almost all the attention this month belonged to their point guard, the Knicks got Baron Davis back from injury, signed JR Smith and discovered Steve Novak, who had been sitting right next to Lin at the end of their bench.
Lin’s rise from undrafted Harvard grad to NBA star made him an international sensation, but he says it’s time to talk about what he says may be the league’s deepest team.
That depth will no doubt help Lin. He is not used to so many minutes and clearly tired in his dismal game against Miami last Thursday. He’s refreshed now, just in time to face No. 1 draft pick Kyrie Irving of Cleveland on Wednesday.
