Although there is a story with his Asian descent and being a Harvard player, I think the real story is that a player that went undrafted, is an unknown, was cut by 2 teams last year pulls a losing team from the bottom of the NBA after both of its so called “stars” are out.
In a week, he has given a high profile franchise the hope it has been looking for during at least the past decade. Shortly, the two “stars” are going to have to come back to Lin’s team and try to assimilate to what he is doing. He also can stop sleeping on his brother’s couch. Oh yeah, and as another poster mentioned, he torched Kobe which is awesome.
Also seems to be a good guy and taking everything very humbly. Hard not to be excited about and root for him.
