d00de of the Month Nominees

Yo.

Jeremy Lin
This is Jeremy Lin. He's a good basketball player (originally played for the Warriors....but was cut, and a little for the Rockets...and met the same fate.) BUT he is now a Knick, and in Mike D'antoni's system a point guard is the star. This guy is a super underdog, and a very high IQ NBA Player (He went to Harvard). A pretty good nominee for doM (d00de of the Month abbreviation?).

He's working on becoming a great NBA player, but the ultimate test of Lin's skills will be the integration of his high profile players like Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. Plus he's got cool word play with his name "Lin-sanity".


Kevin Durant
Huh? He still hasn't been d00de? Well Kevin is having another Kevin-esqe year. All he does is score, and dominate you offensively.....and block your shots, and rebound, and play a complete game. He has another player that overshadows their teammates in Russel Westbrook, but everyone in Oklahoma knows who the man is, On top of that He's got a cool nickname, the Durantula.

He could pull away with the MVP and he may even be the star for the West to lead the Thunder into the NBA finals. Future, turned into now and Greg Oden became Kevin Durant....poor Portland. Anyways Kevin is always a good option.

Steve Stamkos
Well NHL guys are fun, Stamkos is on a team people don't even know exists, and he leads the NHL in Goals scored....WAIT A MINUTE?! Yes this guy scores goals and they can be flashy, but mostly he scores and he scores in bunches.
He has amazing skill to push forward and shoot the puck, some people lack, and he is a fearsome competitor....and he plays hockey so he gets a nod.





Tiger Woods
Weather you like him or not, he's probably the best of his era in golf. I know what you're thinking.....come on d00de golf........Well when Tiger is on he's fun to watch. and just to help his case this was Tiger this weekend, that sure he didn't win, but he keeps showing signs of his swagger coming back.
I remember I watched golf one day just because of Tiger playing on a level others couldn't, and thinking "Wow, no one else can make that shot." A misunderstood talent is always interesting to me.



That's not an easy shot.....so if you want something a bit different for doM, give Tiger a vote.


So vote in February and this will be your d00de of the Month March.
