Linsanity

How does a California state player of the year not get a Division 1 athletic scholarship? That doesn't make any sense. He wanted Stanford, they didn't want him. This was a steal for Harvard. He never averaged over 20 points a game, but there was no questioning his talent. In his junior year, Lin was the only Division 1 player to finish in the top ten in his conference for scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and three point percentage. He went undrafted in the 2010 NBA draft. He eventually ended up on the Warriors and played 29 games with them before going to play for the Rockets. They decided they needed to cut him, so they could sign someone else. Now Lin, plays for the New York Knicks and has gotten a lot of playing time with all of their injuries.

In his last four games, Lin has scored 25, 23, 28, and 38. He is putting up these numbers with a high field goal percentage, and at least seven assists in each game. Every time he touches the ball, the crowd at Madison Square Garden goes crazy.
