I totally love the Jeremy Lin story. I have completely bought into the fun of it! Jeremy Lin, who no one had even heard of three weeks ago is suddenly the biggest name on the sports scene. Its just about the best rags-to-riches story since Rocky Balboa, and that was fake! This is real!  He seems like such a great genuine kid, that I began rooting for him as I soon as I heard New York was going bonkers over an unheard of, undrafted player, and a Harvard grad at that. To become the first Asian-American to star in the NBA didn't hurt either. Although many have tried to compare the fuss made over Lin to that of Tim Tebow, its a completely different scenario. Tebow was courted by the likes of football factories like Florida and Alabama. He won the Heisman Trophy, and was a first round draft pick. No one wanted to offer Lin a scholarship out of high school, so he went to Harvard and played there while majoring in economics. No one wanted to draft him out of Harvard, so he went to the NBA as an undrafted free agent, and was cut by two teams before ending up with the Knicks, where he sat on the bench. It is my understanding Lin may have been only a few days away from being cut again, but then a desperate Coach Mike D'Antoni gave him a chance, and the rest is history. This kid is legit. He can play and he can continue on as a starter. To me, "Linsanity" compares much more to "Fernando-mania" that we experienced here in L.A. way back in 1982 than to Tebow-mania. Fernando too was an unknown. He was an immediate sensation as soon as he got a chance to start, and yes, like Lin, had an ethnic hook to him as well. I've often said that the time of Fernando-mania was about the happiest, most, fun-filled thing we've ever experienced in L.A. sports. They could use a little happiness in New York. That's why I am totally pulling for Jeremy Lin to keep it going. Linsanity forever!! (or at least a few more weeks)
