Nobody is enjoying the ascendancy of Jeremy Lin in the NBA and with the New York Knicks more than Landry Fields. Fields’ scoring and rebound numbers per game are up, and he seems to have returned to the form that caught the attention of the New York fans before his game (and many other Knicks) went into hibernation with the arrival of Carmelo Anthony.
In any case the New York Times has also noted Fields performance of late, and in a recent article, they note:
No one in the locker room is closer to Lin, or has provided more support, personally and professionally.
The two have been friends since Fields was starring at Stanford, not far from where Lin lived in Palo Alto. They share a deep religious faith, prestigious schooling (Lin at Harvard) and a quirky sensibility. Their creative pregame handshake has become as much a part of the Lin variety show as the alley-oop passes and scoring bursts.
The good times keep rolling for former Griffin Charles Hinkle. (LAHS ’06) He scored 18 as American University defeated West Point 74-50 last Saturday. And to prove he’s not partial to any service he scored 18 as American beat Navy 69-47 on March 15. In that game, Hinkle hit all six of his shots before intermission, including four 3-pointers, then rested most of the second half. American is now 18-9 on the season, 11-0 at home.
