Go back in time three weeks. The New York Knicks were 8-15 and looking like a train-wreck of a season was imminent and the name Jeremy Lin held almost no meaning at all. Now three weeks later, all of New York and seemingly the entire NBA is submerged in "Linsanity". Jeremy Lin has led the Knicks to nine wins in their last eleven games and there are absolutely no signs of slowing down, actually there is really room for improvement if anything. Jeremy Lin, the dynamic Harvard grad has displayed expert finesse in running the point guard position for the Knicks, reminding many of Phoenix Suns point guard and future Hall of Famer, Steve Nash. Lin has demonstrated a firm grasp on the pick and roll style of offense and has really overall boosted the team's cohesiveness and overall chemistry, not to mention their record. Lin has passed almost every test that has been thrown his way including Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers as well as Dirk Nowitzki and the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. Since Lin's first start against the New Jersey Nets on February 4th, he has lead overall scoring in the NBA averaging 27 points per game. There are still many games left to be played in the 2011-2012 NBA season as well as much more to be told in this "Linderella" story.
