Lin's Stats w/o Linsanity:
LINSANITY:
For ~13 games a season that's a pretty incredible stats improvement (doubles steals, 7.8 rebounds would put him in the tops for PG/SG, a top 5 scorer on amazing shooting numbers)....the contract keeps going up but Linsanity stays the same (age) (alright alright alright)
