i believe ESPN did mention it in one of their highlight films but had no graphic for it and certainly did not put it somewhere in their printed articles. Selective reporting perhaps but it's more fun to talk about the good stuff. Expecting 'unbiased' reporting from ESPN is unrealistic.
Lin's individual stats aside, the Knicks are rolling now - 6-0. Turnovers or not, he's helped a nothing team pick it up and win, mostly without their top 2 players otherwise. it's been a fun ride. next few games should give some better indication of his play. I'm more curious to see if the Knicks are for real... I think Lin's shown me enough - he's playing like a top 15 pg which is a lot more than anyone would have said 2 weeks ago.
