Unless you’re actively trying to avoid it, chances are you’ve heard of the absolute phenomenon that is Jeremy Lin. Coming out of nowhere, this undrafted, Asian Harvard grad has taken the New York Knicks, and the world of basketball, by storm, outperforming everyone around him, and propelling the Knicks to a winning season after years of bitter disappointments. So it’s no surprise that the number one video on YouTube today is of Jeremy Lin, garnering 3,080,432 views for his buzzer-beating 3-pointer against the Toronto Raptors last week. And it is Linsane (sorry, we had to).
According to YouTube trends, Jeremy Lin is one of the top rising search terms on YouTube right now, making him not only a star basketball player, but also an Internet sensation. And he didn’t even have to sing! What do you make of Jeremy Lin? Are you following his meteoric rise? Or are you an angry Kobe fan? Can you imagine how happy Spike Lee is right now??
