Linsanity Builds As Jeremy Lin Hits 38 Against The Lakers
I have to say I am on the Linsanity bandwagon. Since the other day when I first came across a story about Asian/American Jeremy Lin I am now a fan of the guy.
As my wife is from Beijing, China I tend to like seeing any success come the way of Chinese athletes. I loved seeing Li Na pick up the French Open title in 2011 and was a big fan of Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets.
Lin who is the son of Taiwanese migrants grew up in Palo Alto, California and played his college basketball for Harvard. He missed being drafted in 2010 but was signed by the Golden State Warriors on July 21, 2010.
Joe Lacob the Golden State Warriors owner said this about Lin, “He’s a minimum, inexpensive asset. You need to look at him as a developing asset. Is he going to be a superstar? No.” After Lin’s recent games with the New York Knicks I wonder what he is thinking now.
Jeremy Lin finished his rookie NBA season averaging 2.6 points on 38.9 percent shooting in 29 games. He was waived by the Warriors on December 9, 2011. The New York Knicks claimed Lin off waivers on December 12, 2011. After injuries to key personnel with the Knicks Lin was called in from the D-League in late January to start the Linsanity.
After a few quite games Lin exploded onto the stage with 25 points against New Jersey, 28 against Utah and 23 against Washington. His big test would come against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
What did he do? He smoked the Lakers for a career high 38 points! The Knicks defeated the Lakers 92-85. It was the fourth straight win for the Knicks who are playing with Carmello Anthony and Amare Stoudemire.
In the past we have seen players come from nowhere to star few a few nights only to fade away. No that Lin has the world watching him time will tell if he can stand the spotlight…: 5px; margin-right: 5px; border: black 1px solid;” src=”http://onemansportsnetwork.com/images/Jeremy_Lin_New_York_Knicks.jpg” alt=”New NBA sensation Jeremy Lin” align=”left” />I have to say I am on the Linsanity bandwagon.
