Could it be? Another "divine experience" in the sports world? Often referred to as the Tebow of basketball, Jeremy Lin of the NY Knicks has yet to prove us wrong. Catch-phrases have started such as, "Linning" and "Linsanity." He certainly has quite a bit of hype to live up to now...
For the most part, Jeremy Lin came out of nowhere. We heard nothing about
him and now he's everywhere in the media. Just like Tebow was with the Broncos, Lin never talks about himself in an interview, but rather references the team as a whole. There is constant debate over the stats vs. the hype and whether or not he truly is a miracle sensation, but nonethless, the sports world is witnessing an unbelievable athlete and a part of history in the making.
Lin came off the bench for the Knicks when they beat the Nets on Feb 4th and he put up 25 points, and he's played better every game since. He saw his opportunity and deffintely ran with it. Even if Lin has his flaws to work on as a point guard, you can't deny that he has brought a confidence to the New York Knicks that has led the team to a winning streak. Not to mention, the game that shocked us all, Knicks Vs. Raptors where Lin made his game-winning 3-pointer with less than a second left on the clock!
The Knicks star players are returning to the court. Stoudemire has already made his return debut and Carmelo Anthony is also returning to the Knicks. If they can adjust to playing alongside the overnight sensation Jeremy Lin, then I see good things in store for the New York team.
