Trending Topic: Jeremy Lin
Jeremy Lin, point guard for the New York Knicks, is NBA’s latest phenomenon. His name has appeared everywhere, and it might even be a bit overwhelming trying to keep up. Since his first start with the New York Knicks on February 6th, Lin’s name has escalated in popular, making him a constant trend.
Having a history of being cut by teams, being the first U.S-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese decent to join the league, and now exposing his incredible basketball skills with the Knicks are among the many factors that make Lin an enthralling sensation dubbed “Lin-sanity.”
On twitter many talk about Lin using a variety of hastags including #Linsanity, #Linning, #LinderellaStory and #Lincredible, among many.
- Phil Taylor (@SI_PhilTaylor): I know there are other things going on in the sports world besides Jeremy Lin. But I don’t care about any of them. #nyk #linsanity
- Steve Nash (@SteveNash): If you love sports you have to love what Jeremy Lin is doing. Getting an opportunity and exploding!!
- Floyd Mayweather (@FloydMayweather): Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he’s Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don’t get the same praise.
