Miami Heat: Linsanity Has No Place in South Beach with the Big Three

Although "Linsanity" has dominated media coverage over the past month, there has been one thing that has kept the world from going into complete chaos over Jeremy Lin. One team that has stood by waiting for their chance to take on Lin and the reformed Knicks. One player who is on a relentless mission to win the first title of his career.

New York, meet Miami. Jeremy Lin, meet LeBron James.

The most talked-about game of this NBA season is nearly upon us. The New York Knicks and the Miami Heat clash tonight in South Beach.

Linsanity is about to go head-to-head with the Big Three.

Do the Knicks have enough in them to beat the star-studded talent that South Beach has to offer?

Over the last 11 games, since Linsanity captivated the nation, the Knicks have a record of 9-2. Lin has gone over the 20-point mark in nine of those 11 games. In arguably the biggest game against the Lakers, Lin scored 38 points and recorded seven assists.

The spark Jeremy Lin has provided New York has resurrected hope for a Knicks franchise that has not won a championship since 1973.

On the other hand, the Miami Heat have shockingly flown under the radar this past month. While the attention of the world has turned towards Jeremy Lin, LeBron James and the Miami Heat have gone on an incredible run in which they have won 15 of their last 17 games and have won their last seven games all by double-digits.

LeBron himself continues to put up MVP-esque numbers that have really not received much attention. This year, James is averaging 27.6 points per game, 6.8 assists per game and 8.1 rebounds per game. Combine these stats with the fact that LeBron is shooting 55 percent from the field, which is well above his career average of 48 percent, it shows that LeBron James is turning into an even more dominating player than he was before.

Obviously, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, the other two parts to the Big Three, cannot be forgotten. Wade is currently averaging 22.4 points per game, while Bosh is nearly averaging a double-double with 18.2 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game.

When you take the talent of the Big Three and mix it in with the rest of the solid players the Heat have on their team, it equals a deadly combination that few teams have been able to find the solution to.

The Knicks believe they have the solution. They call it Linsanity. 

Tonight we will see how well that solution works as the two teams square off in South Beach.

Unfortunately, like the title of the article states, Linsanity has no place in South Beach. There are numerous chapters still left to be written in the story of Jeremy Lin, but tonight will be one of the chapters he will not want published.

Tonight, the Miami Heat will show why they are the greatest basketball team in the world. Tonight will be all about the one known as "King James."

The spotlight will once again be shining on South Beach. LeBron James will once again be the face of the NBA.

All will be right in the world.
