What else can you say? JLin proved to any doubters today — against the world champion Dallas Mavericks — that he is the real deal. My jaw just dropped as he continued to dazzle on the biggest stage (in New York City on ABC), while also hitting some big 3-pointers, leading the Knicks on a furious 4th quarter rally to beat the Mavericks 104-97. He scored 28 points, had 14 dimes, and had 5 steals.

JLin had 7 turnovers, but as Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said, he wants him to continue to be aggressive. And NBA analyst Hubie Brown said because the Knicks are continually winning, you can’t reduce his minutes just because of the turnovers. He offers too much in other facets of the game.

Here are highlights from the game:
