The historic, hellacious success of Jeremy Lin put the Asian-American into the eyes of the world. Lin’s story has become a runaway locomotive, and he keeps feeding this monster with victory after victory, performance after performance. Jeremy Lin is an American professional basketball player with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Jeremy Lin is a Harvard graduate. He was an American dream given athletic form.
Up until February 4, 2012 few people even knew his name. But ever since he scored 25 points on that evening's game against the New Jersey Nets, in which he showed a near-superhuman game performance, Jeremy Lin put the whole of New York and the American press entered into a state of "Linsanity" to the point that Lin is trying to trademark the coinage.
