Linsanity (林書豪旋瘋) is being released this weekend around the US and in Taipei. Linsanity is the term that got the most play during Jeremy Lin's breakout month in February 2012. A phenomenal start by Jeremy Lin catapulted him into the national limelight. Specifically two covers of Sports Illustrated and on Time magazine. Jeremy took a New York Knicks team that was 7 games below .500 and whom many believed would miss the playoffs to 6 games above .500 and the 7th seed of the Eastern Conference. Due to injury, Jeremy Lin missed the 2012 NBA playoffs. For the 2012-2013 season, Jeremy Lin signed a 3 year deal with the Houston Rockets and looks to start alongside James Harden, Chandler Parsons, and Dwight Howard in his second year at Houston.
The movie Linsanity will cover how he went undrafted out of college, picked up by the Golden State Warriors, being cut twice in December 2011, and to starting as point guard for the New Knicks in February 2012. I for one have followed Jeremy Lin since his senior year at Harvard. To date, my 2009 post about Jeremy Lin as an Harvard Guard is my most view blog post. The second most viewed post would have to quadruple its view count to catch up.
During the "Linsanity" run with the Knicks, I posted about every game. You can search my blog for proof, but I was Lin-crazy and bought too many Knicks Jerseys.
With the re-cap of Linsanity in this upcoming film, it'll be good to go back and reminisce, hoping for a stellar 2013-2014 season for Jeremy Lin, Rocket or not.
