Yeap, that was going to happen. Here's Marc Spears's tweet about it:
Knicks Jeremy Lin and Heat Norris Cole added to Rookie-Sophomore Game.
Analysis: It seems that Jeremy Lin and Norris Cole have been added to the Rookie-Sophomore game.
Yeah. That's cool. He's on "Team Shaq", in case you were concerned about things like that. No word yet on whether or not Shaquille O'Neal runs a system that inflates the performance of point guards. Lin's apparently playing with Blake Griffin on Team Shaq, so that should be cool since he's very good at throwing alley-oops and stuff. Recall that Landry Fields is in that thing too. I have no idea which team he's on. (UPDATE: HE'S ON TEAM SHAQ COMMENCE PURCHASING TEAM SHAQ JERSEYS)
Anyway, All-Star Weekend has suddenly gone from being not at all Linsane to being anywhere from moderately to excessively Linsane. He'll now be in this game, plus a likely cameo role in Iman Shumpert's dunk contest bid, plus a rumored inclusion in the Haier Look Did You Know There Is An NBA For Ladies And Also Remember These Old People Please Buy Some Fridges With Special Drawers Where You Can Put Plates Of Fruit competition.
Very exciting!

wooooooo
It's tough being a Knicks fan. Being a Giants and Yanks fan is great though.

funny
I will go to my grave believing that if the Knicks had picked up Earl Barron before the 2011 Playoffs, we would not have been swept by the Celtics.
Super Lintendo Chalmers
Not to state the obvious, but Norris Cole is totally riding our coattails on this one.
If team Shaq doesn't win I'm gonna be like this guy

Nothing good can come from Lin at All-Star
I’d rather everybody just rested.
I take it you've never watched the Rook-Soph game.

A few minutes, by accident
The whole All-Star thing is a waste of time for me.
This
Even if he takes it easy on the court, the media is going to be hounding him and he’s going to be asked to make appearances everywhere.
So exactly like the last two weeks then.
I see where you’re coming from, especially with this short season format and all but he’s young, I’m sure he’ll be just fine. Plus I think he needs some more experience playing with players with large egos to prepare him for Melo’s return.
i think shaq might be an idiot savant
his whole team is basically PGs and PFs that can dunk… and that’s all you really need for the rookie/sophomore game. plus he got landry and lin on the same team!!
i don’t think he really planned this out at all, but he’s gonna look like a genius when team SHAQ crushes.

Yeah, he strikes me as very smart
but a complete goofball.

I used to think he was secretly smart

Evan Turner was the last pick
I can just picture all of them standing in a circle at a schoolyard, each player eventually being picked and leaving Evan behind, face red with embarrassment and eyes swollen with tears. Man, I wish that they made these picks right before the game, and televised them. That’d be the most entertainingly awkward moments of all star weekend.

I think that this video is very fake
FSU KΔs have strict standards. Saying that “me and my girls really know how to party” would get her fried by her chapter. Considering that she got Lin’s name wrong, his sport wrong, and his race wrong, I think that this is just a spoof. In light of her huge tracts of land, I approve of this spoof.

shaq offered a trade of lin for tiago splitter
barkley declined, then shaq said if his team doesnt win by 10 he’ll set himself on fire on the show these guys r crazy

this made me laugh

Not really
We all love Shump and I think he has a much brighter future than Cole (keep in mind that Shump is 2 years younger), but their offensive numbers right now are really almost identical. Shump’s D is 100x better but defensive players rarely get credit in exhibition games like this.

nah. Cole has played well this year. shump has been hot and cold. more hot tho recently due to him playing his natural position more

as im choking on my mac n cheese dinner.
Hey guys
What jersey should I buy? I really want a Harrellson because he really embodies the Chairman mentality and he has a cool number, but I’m worried about his playing time.
It’s probably between Tyson, Landry, or Josh. I’m so torn :O
Stainer of mountaintops.
shump or pre-tyson landry
the former because he’s certified bad ass. the latter to prove you’re a hoopster.
Someone I know already has Shump, so I don't wanna copy him
And I would get a #6 Landry if it was discounted, but it’s not :(

Oh yeah
Forgot Landry was going to be there. He can impersonate Pippen for Shump’s Starksdunk re-enactment.
Get The Frickin' Rebound
Let's clear something up
Lin, Melo, STAT and Tyson are four excellent role players to surround Landry. Landry plays second fiddle to no one.

That's great and all, but he's getting a lot of minutes.
Hope he plays very little in this game. Rest him up for the final half of the season.
Linning and Winning!
tim duncan is also scared
you would think that after all the time he spent playing dungeons and dragons that he wouldn’t be scared of a bloody monster dunking a basketball, but you would be wrong! just look at that face. sheer terror.

Whoop whoop
The rookie sophomore game just got a lot cooler
I'm pickin up good vibrations!!!!!!!!! Lin's giving me excitations!!!!!!!!!!!
@giametta88
I find this disturbing and unlikely
Rumor Central: Melo on the block?
Melo, after all we did to get him, will NOT be traded. He can’t be. Please guys, reassure me.
We DID give to much to get him, but no way we’re getting anything matching that back. He’s a superstar, a fantastic scorer, who I want on the Knicks for the future. Also, I love him.
Reminds me of that time ESPN reported
That the Phillies organization had discussed trying to trade Ryan Howard for Albert Pujols. They figured “well, somebody probably mentioned it in a fantasy league, if nothing else…” BAM!! News.
by nocookiesforme on Feb 16, 2012 10:07 PM EST up reply actions
It may be a baseless rumor
But there are some 3s, here and there around the league, that would be great to trade for…. tho none of them are for sale so far as anybody knows.
False alarm
They’re still a half game behind Boston.

Celtics will fall fast now
And will be lucky to make 8th seed. It’s so bad now, Bucks or Cavs could edge them out of the playoffs altogether, with a good run. Truth.
Knicks meanwhile should be shooting for top 4. If all goes well, and health permitting, this team contends for the whole enchilada this year.
Top 4 is a tall order considering their position right now. Not impossible but they’d really have to avoid any bad stretches. I would say their best shot is if the Sixers start dropping off and the Knicks realize their potential to the point where they can take the division. Not an easy task.
Agree re: the Celts tho. Barkley was right with what he said earlier tonight; they’re old and though they can bring it on a given night they just don’t have it in them to play at high level consistently anymore. And outside of that aging Big 3, they have a lot of faults.
the aging "big 3" are also faulty
I believe they’re done. And I’ve been following them… for a long time.
Pierce and Allen still have something in them
Garnett’s done though

Beck reported ny ag headed talks bw msg and twc
Sorry didn’t mean to sound like robin Williams from good morning Vietnam there…
Ny atty general Schneiderman is trying to take credit for talks resuming to get Knicks back on tv. Right. He’s terrible – he said he’d fix this 6 weeks ago and talks only Starting now?? Have TWC pay the lower rate to msg and the diff bw the lower rate and higher rate into escrow with the ag’s office until a price is fixed then make up the diff out of escrow – this will allow the games to get back on tv immediately – you don’t need to have the price finally decided before airing. Come on ag! A 12 year old could have figured out that solution. Show some balls – tell msg: you gotta air games now; tell TWC you have to pay higher rate w diff bw that and TWC offer to go into escrow! Our ag is an ineffectual idiot. At least spritzer got shit done even if that included whooas

watching portland and lob city
marv and steve are just talking about lin…no commentating whatsoever. awesome.
Can you imagine
if Lin sprains an ankle or something in this stupid game? Even when they’re playing relaxed, it’s not, like, out of the question.
… really hate these exhibitions.
by twincitiesknick on Feb 16, 2012 11:44 PM EST reply actions
i feel happy for the kid let him play but....
don’t even think about bringing that juju on him saying what if, no if or whats about, don’t even think about that…. cuz if he does ny might just kill somebody
Well he has like 20 other games for you to worry about that happening in so it’s not much worth worrying about.
You're right
and there’s something irrational about my fear. Doesn’t make it go away though. (

Blargh!
Shaq may be my most disliked player of all time. I get mad whenever I see his face or hear his voice.
(inhales, exhales)
Alright, I agree to put aside my hatred of Shaq and root for the sophomore team.
LONG LIVE LIN ’N LANDRY!
All I do is Lin Lin Lin no matter what...

did jr get signed yet
i would prefer wilson chandler
patriots---mark sanchez is the greatest--keep him
jets--we're getting peyton to kick ur butts
giants---dont worry little step-brother we'll protect you from them big bad pats
He’s a restricted free agent. There’s like a 1% chance he could ever have wound up here this season. However, there are reports that he wants to just sign a 1 year contract w/ the Nugs (rest of the season) and would then become a UFA next season. Would he sign here for the midlevel exception? That’d be interesting to consider, but accept that there’s no shot of him coming here this year.
We want to use our MLE on Jeremy.

I still think
Lin is the favorite to replace Rose in the All-Star game should he not be able to participate. Rondo doesn’t deserve the honor.

i thought it was going to be a Rookie bs Sophmore game
all of them are mixed up. it sounds like it’ll be more exciting but i would actually prefer the traditional way

I prefer the more traditional way also.
Think its fun to see the kids from different draft classes line up against each other.
