In over a span of two weeks, Jeremy Lin or more popularly known as Lin-sanity, has become a house-hold name. This unlikely story of an undrafted, twice-cut, and demoted basketball player from the NBA came out blazing. Scoring 136 pts in his first 5 career starts, he ranks second in scoring IN HISTORY, ahead of NBA legends such as Shaquille O’neal and the great Michael Jordan himself. He has had five consecutive games where he had at least 20 points and 7 assists proving that his rise is not a fluke; to top it all off, he hit a game winning three for the New York Knicks against the Toronto Raptors. Lin-sanity has certainly reached not just the city of New York, but arguably, the entire basketball world. Ever since his sudden-rise to fame, Jeremy Lin hasn’t been silencing crowds like most NBA superstars do, he gets the crowd excited – even when he’s on the road. Even when he beats the Toronto Raptors lose on their own home court… he brings the crowd to its feet. Selling out arenas wherever he goes.

But what makes Jeremy Lin so special? Well Jeremy Lin’s rise to stardom is not your typical underdog story. There’s more to Jeremy Lin than just his competitive side. Jeremy Lin graduated from Harvard studying Economics. Having no basketball scholarship, Jeremy Lin had to work hard to make sure he didn’t just graduate, but that he would also develop his basketball skills. Jeremy Lin is also very humble, never taking the credit for himself even when he carries his team on his back – he never fails to lift up his team mates. Jeremy Lin isn’t your typical underdog story in that, he never was an underdog. Jeremy Lin always had the potential to become great, but never had the chance to prove it. Playing for the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets didn’t give him a chance to shine. But that all changes now.

Jeremy Lin is on a steady climb upward. There are more teams to conquer, and expect Lin-sanity to hit those teams; and to hit them hard at that.

If there's one more thing he needs to do, it's to just keep Lin-ing.
