If you've been struggling to find that perfect way to tell a special someone that you care for her, I hope you were in the stands for Friday night's Memphis Grizzlies game against the Indiana Pacers. The Grizz gave out these special Valentines Day cards to help you express yourself. Because nothing says love like Marc Gasol's dreamy eyes.

The only problem is that there is no Zach Randolph card? How can you have something this goofy and no Zach Randolph?

The 7th grade one costs $2000 more than the 8th grade one, because it's signed. That's reasonable right?

Acne. The rising tide of hormones. "The Cha Cha Slide (Part Two)." Junior High is a confusing, shitty time that many of us would rather forget. Why? Because it is humiliating. My seventh grade girlfriend and my song was Creed's "With Arms Wide Open." I once wrote her an email that heavily leaned on the lyrics from BBMak's "Back Here." That bridge between childhood and adulthood is paved with ripped pants, awkward kiss attempts, and tears cried while listening to Brandy's "Have You Ever."

Luckily most of us never have to think about that era again. But most of us aren't budding NBA stars who have captured the nation's imagination with a week of dominant performances for the New York Knickerbocker basketball franchise. So, I'm sorry Jeremy Lin, but it's time to walk down memory lane, because some guy you went to school with named Fernando is selling your yearbooks on eBay for an insane amount of money.

The Lakers http://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/the-single-best-tweet-following-jeremy-lins-38-po Jeremy Lin's Knicks teammate Amar'e Stoudemire won Twitter last night.

New York Knicks' Jeremy Lin reacts after scoring during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Friday, Feb. 10, 2012, in New York.

(AP / Frank Franklin II)

Amar'e Stoudemire shared the court with Jeremy Lin during a Knicks win vs. New Jersey last Saturday, but then the sudden death of Stoudemire's brother Hazell forced him to take a leave of absence from the team. While Stoudemire grieved, Lin - who found himself in the starting line-up following that Nets victory - and the Knicks have extended their winning streak to four, with Lin setting a Knicks record for points scored in his first three NBA starts (89).

On Friday, Jeremy Lin's New York basketball arrival culminated at Madison Square Garden with a 38 point performance vs. Kobe Bryant and Los Angeles Lakers. On Twitter, amidst the #Linsanity and #Linning hashtag onslaught and bad Jeremy Lin puns (I couldn't resist the urge to Jeremy Lin pun one time), Amar'e managed to cut through the noise with his post-game tweet.

Stoudemire will be out again tonight when the Knicks face the Minnesota Timberwolves, but Knicks coach Mike D'antoni told ESPNNewYork.com that he expects Amar'e to be back at practice on Monday.

Step Three
Lin "pages" through the book.

Step Four
Fields closes the book.

Step Five
Both Lin and Fields put their hands to their eyes as though they are glasses.

Both players "remove" their glasses and put them into an invisible shirt pocket.
