Linsanity.

Jeremy Lin continued his amazing run tonight by leading the Knicks to yet another win. Lin sank the game winning three pointer with half a second left in regulation. How do you explain how such a terrific player went under the radar of all of the NBA scouts? Boxer Floyd Mayweather, JR was recently quoted as saying that Lin was receiving the attention not because of his success but because he is of Asian descent. Mayweather is way off the mark. Although you cannot deny that an Asian basketball player dominating in the NBA is enough to turn heads, Lin's popularity is due to many other reasons. He was an undrafted Harvard graduate that was sleeping on his brothers couch just a few weeks ago and is now leading the Knicks to six consecutive wins. He's popular because he works hard and preaches teamwork. In all, Lin is popular because, unlike Mayweather, he is humble.
