  • Lin for the win! Got it!

  • Yeah, I'm definitely a Knicks fan, I'm from New York, and I am so impressed with Jeremy Lin. He came out of nowhere, he's doing so well.

  • He's playing tremendous.

  • It's not often you have guys like this come out of nowhere.

  • Everybody around me is crazy about him, and like even I ride on the T, even the driver

  • of the T said, "Hey, you look like Linsanity."

  • Jeremy Lin is a point-guard from Harvard.

  • He was un-drafted initially, but then he got into the Knicks and he basically popped out

  • of nowhere when they were looking for a point-guard.

  • Lin knew he had one shot at it, and gave it his all, and put on a show for people.

  • He was close to being cut, he was living on one of his teammates couches, so it's a crazy story.

  • And everyone's going crazy because he's like scoring a lot.

  • I don't think no one thought that if he started that he would average, what, twenty-five and

  • eight?

  • Yeah, twenty-five and eight.

  • He's basically pushing them to get into the playoffs, so it's helping them out a lot.

  • He revived our season, put energy back in the Garden.

  • It's kind of almost like a bandwagon now; everyone's talking about him, everyone has

  • an opinion on him now.

  • My roommate got a Linsanity shirt and I hate it. I'm not that into puns. I think the puns

  • can definitely tone down a bit.

  • I hated that one.

  • The New York Post says he's Amasian!

  • It's never-ending, it's never-ending.

  • He's the only Asian-American in basketball right now.

  • I think his race definitely plays a role. I mean you don't really associate Asians with

  • basketball.

  • It puts hope for other minorities to like come about.

  • It adds a big sense of diversity to the league I think. Being at the NBA, you know, they

  • want to get viewers from all around the world and this only just takes it one step further.

  • You definitely can tell him apart from everyone else on the team, but, you know, it doesn't

  • make a difference, he's awesome and I really didn't expect it from him I hadn't seen him

  • before, but I love watching him play.

Lin for the win! Got it!
