Breakout out star Jeremy Lin, born 1988, in the Year of the
Dragon is confident and fearless in the face of challenge and proves once
again that he is the real deal. Lin led the Knicks to victory against
The Lakers 92-85 in Madison Square Garden last night with Lin scoring career high 38 points .
This is the Knicks fourth straight win sans star Forward Carmelo
Anthony who is out with a groin injury. Also absent Center Amar’e
Stoudemire who is in Florida mourning the sudden and tragic loss
of his older brother Hazell.
Lin the most surprising story of an NBA athlete is the league’s first
American-born player of Chinese descent and until last week virtually
unknown to New Yorkers.
A Harvard grad and undrafted player that was in the D-league until
the end of January, Lin surpassed Carmelo Anthony for the highest-scoring
points in a game by a Knicks player this season. He scored 89 points in his first 3
career starts, the most by any player since the merger between ABA and
NBA in 1976.
It’s Lin-sanity, Lin- tastic, Lin-sational and he certainly is “Linning”!! His rise so
unexpected and meteoric. “Jeremy Lin and Victor Cruz are GREAT
examples of staying READY, because you never know when it’s your time
to shine but when it is, you better be READY” Actor and trainer Donald Chartruce
Calliste posted on his fb page.
And ready Jeremy Lin was igniting the fire that led the Knicks to four back to back victories.
