As a native New Yorker and Knicks fan, OF COURSE I’m going to do a Jeremy Lin! Jeremy Lin is a feel good story in my humble opinion. Maybe because basketball doesn’t get the same attention football does or maybe it’s because I’m actually a Knicks fan but I don’t hate him. He just seems like an all around good guy. He’s very team oriented and doesn’t talk a lot of game.

Then I think to myself, Tim Tebow seems like a good guy, I’m not religious person, but really it’s the media that kind of shoves everything he does in my face, not him. And then hit me. I know what it is. What differentiates Jeremy Lin from Tim Tebow.

Jeremy Lin actually scores points!

And that’s how I knew I would love Jeremy Lin. He had this humbled attitude and dare I say it? Live up to the hype. Good for him! It’s also really reviving the Knicks as a whole. They’ve won five in a row after hitting a really, really rough skid where they lost more than I would like to mention. And on top of that A’mare and Melo are both coming back soon.

And then. Then there are the Lin puns. So. Many. Puns. Where do I start?

  • Linsane/Linsanity
  • Lin/Linning
  • Lin Diesel
  • Linevitibale
  • Linfatuation
  • Lintensity
  • Lincredible

And so many more, that’s honestly just a few of the ones I’ve heard. And of cawse, I’ll be ending this blog post with a little Mike Francesa.
