Jeremy Lin a.k.a. Linsanity!

     Lately in the NBA world there has been talk over the Asian sensation Jeremy Lin.  Jeremy Lin is Harvard alumni who dreamt about playing basketball in the NBA. Lin spent four years at Harvard earning his degree in economics.  Lin was very hardworking maintaining a 3.1 GPA while averaging 16.4 points per game.  Though Lin did what he needed to do on the court and the classroom he was still undrafted by any team in the NBA draft.  Though Lin was undrafted he would be not be denied and he continued to persevere and improve is skills as a player.  He added fifteen pounds of muscle to his body weight.  He also increased his vertical jump by six inches and 
     On February 4, 2012 Jeremy had his New York Knicks debut.  He made a major impact by scoring 25 points and leading the Knicks to their first win in 14 games.  As they progressed further in the season Lin became an even greater leader. In the next 12 games the Knicks posted a record of 9-3 because of Lin's great leadership.  I hope to continue to see him succeed in the NBA.
