Jeremy Lin a Legend Already?
I have only seen Jeremy Lin play through highlights, because I hear people mentioning him on Facebook. And I read some of the headlines sportswriters make to promote him. Some people have already put him on legendary status for having a early success in his NBA career, but will they say the same thing when he struggles? When Lin struggles, people will go from calling him legend to calling him a scrub. He is going to struggle, because teams will now study him a lot harder to find weakness to exploit.
I will agree with someone that he is a good player, but I would not refer to him as a legend of the game. The only thing Lin has done is get to a hot start as a starter, and that is a good thing. It gets his confidence up, and it gives more opportunity to play. With him having more opportunity to play, other teams will have more footage of him playing to figure out his weakness. It's going to happen, because its happened to all of the legends of the NBA. Its even happen to Michael Jordan, and he learned to turn his weakness into a strength. Can Lin do the same thing when he struggles? If he can't, then how will people feel about him when he cannot overcome his struggles in the game? Then again he may overcome his struggles, because of his past experiences of struggling. Maybe what makes him a good player is his drive for success, and Jordan had that.
I think Lin could be a legend if he continues to improve his game to make it harder for teams to figure out his weaknesses, but I am not ready to call him that yet. I think he needs to win a few championships before he can have the word legend associated with his name.
Big Problem in America
No one in the major media is talking about American's big problem, because their views come from a secular point that's fed to them daily. Average Americans think that America's problems will be fixed through elections at local, and national level. But some politicians may not know what America's biggest problem is, or they are afraid to talk about it. The big problem that I am blogging about is amount of evangelism that goes on in this country, and its percentages is in the single digit. That percentage is very sad, because Americans live in the most free nation of this world. Now I do not ignore America's freedoms is being taken away, but even with that we are still the most free nation of this world. So America does not really have any excuse for evangelism's percentage being in the single digits.
Reason why I think lack of Evangelism in America is a big problem, because people that do not follow God will end having a nation against God. A nation against God has been going on at least in the last 50 years, and it has not gotten better. Christians thought it was getting better when America's economy was thriving under Reagan, but having more materials really has nothing to do with evangelism. If it did, than the rich young ruler would not have to give up his possessions to follow Jesus. Having more materials maybe one of the reasons why America has drifted away from God, but there has also been people that have used what God gave them to bless others to have an opportunity to evangelize. Not everyone does that, or America's evangelism percentage would be higher than single digits.
There's a correlation between lack of evangelism in America, and America's immorality that is very high. Lack of evangelism means a lack of God being the center point of people's lives, and lack of God in people's lives leads to high immorality. Problems in America like abortion, and sex outside of marriage are linked to lack of God being the center point of people's lives. Lack of God being the center point of people's lives continues throughout America, because most believers are not obeying Christ's command of the Great Commission. They maybe teaching God's word to other believers, but that is only obeying half the Great Commission. Willingly obeying half of the Great Commission is disobeying it, so most believers are just as responsible for America's high immorality.
If evangelism's percentage in America continues to get smaller, than America's direction will not change for the better. Lack of evangelism in America is a big problem.
Which MMA fighter that has not won a title match that I would watch no matter what
Yesterday I read an article online that asked the question of which fighters people would pay no matter what, and most fighter mention in the article were at least champions. After I read that article I asked myself the same question of which fighter I would pay to see no matter what, but I went deeper with that question by asking which fighter I would pay to see that has not won a title match yet. Various fighters came to mind like Diego Sanchez, Chris Leben, Michael Bisping, Yoshido Akiyama, Roy Nelson, and Chael Sonnen. Out of those fighters I mention of who I would watch no matter what, I would have to say its Diego Sanchez. Here are reasons why.
The reason is that I have always been a fan of Diego Sanchez's style, because in all of his fights he puts constant pressure, and in most of his fights they usually go the distance if he cannot finish his opponents with ground and pound. With Sanchez's will, and constant offensive pressure, those things make him an exciting fighter to watch no matter what. And another reason is that makes Sanchez that kind of fighter is that he does not have a lot of explosion when compare to an elite athlete like St.Pierre, but Sanchez makes the most of what he has got. That is heart, and it makes up a lot of whatever he does not have like explosion. Diego's constant pressure, his heart, and determination not to quit fights are reasons why he is the fighter I would watch no matter what.
