New York is getting (L)insane

And So It Begins

I’m studying in Seville, Spain this semester and am currently sitting in a hostel in Madrid. I’m about 5,000 miles away and 6 hours ahead of New York and the Eastern Time Zone. But yet, Linsanity (much like Lin himself) knows no boundaries. I don’t want to sit here and run through his life story, as impressive as it is, because I’m sure everyone has heard all about it: Harvard grad, undrafted rookie, released by the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets in the same summer, Knicks last man off the bench. But just when things got desperate and Coach D’Antoni entered his “I’ll try anything” phase due to the continued poor execution of the Knicks offense and rain of boos and chants coming from the Garden crowd, in came Lin against the New Jersey Nets. And the rest, as they say, is history.
