What Jeremy Lin teaches us
By Dave Winer on Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 9:46 PM.
Why did the college basketball teams miss his talent? permalink
Why did the NBA? permalink
Really simple. People see what they expect to see. permalink
Great quote in Moneyball about this. permalink
"People who run ball clubs, they think in terms of buying players. Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins." permalink
This lesson doesn't just apply to basketball or baseball or sports, it applies to everything.  permalink
And btw, the reason people didn't expect he'd be a great basketball player was his race. So we're going to get a chance to clear up some racism now, so that's another good thing. permalink
PS: I went to the Knicks game today and he's every bit as exciting a player in person as he is on TV. What a gift! :-) permalink
