Vinny commented on Jeremy Lin's new contract is a bargain, by the Goran Dragic standard

It is important to note that Lin's PER was not only better than Dragic's but also Lin achieved it under much higher pressure with opposing defenses game-planned to stop him (often with double or even triple team). Lin had a huge bulls-eye on him during the run, the pressure he faced from opponents, fans and media was simply incomparable. Dragic's PER would most likely be much lower had he received the same "respect" that Lin received from opponents.
