    Lin versus LeBron?

    It'll happen Thursday night when the New York Knicks take on the Miami Heat.

    And when it does, point guard Jeremy Lin insists he won't change his approach against LeBron James -- one of the best defenders in the NBA.

    "Obviously, LeBron is a great player and a great, great defender. So I've just got to be aggressive and not change anything on my end," Lin said after leading the Knicks to their ninth win in 11 games, a 99-82 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.

    James told reporters in Miami that he will defend Lin at times when the Knicks (17-17) face the Heat (26-7).

    "I know I'm going to end up guarding Lin at some point," James said.
