Jeremy Lin

The Linsanity that Jeremy Lin touched off this winter has faded, a casualty of the New York Knicks point guard’s drop in productivity and the recent knee surgery that ended his regular season.

But the surreal period in which a former bench warmer led the Knicks on a seven-game winning streak while helping a lot of headline writers show off will live on, at least if Hollywood has anything to do with it.

Lin is the subject of a documentary that is being pitched to distributors in Hollywood by agency CAA; footage is currently being assembled.

Hey guys! Huggable Heather here with another article exposing racism – this time, on New York Knick’s beloved Asian American superstar, Jeremy Lin.

Now that we’re two+ weeks into the Linsanity story, we know that he’s able to deliver more than just a few baskets or assists – he’s made 295 points, 118 assists, revitalized the NBA and, according to Forbes magazine, has singlehandedly reinvigorated the economy. Jeremy Lin seems to be bigger than himself…and in all this tumult and hype, he still remains humble and remembers why he’s here: to play basketball.

NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 28, 2012 – Mochi Magazine has launched its Underdog issue, featuring outstanding individuals who beat the odds and achieved success through their perseverance and talent.

With ‘Linsanity’ sweeping the nation, one writer reflects on how basketball star Jeremy Lin is changing the face of sports as we know it. We recognized Jeremy’s potential before his breakout performances with the New York Knicks, featuring him in our Ultimate 25 under 25: Mochi’s List of Young Asian American Influencers last April.

In the exciting realm of music, our issue also highlights exclusive interviews with effervescent singer-songwriter Clara Chung, who has evolved from conquering her own naysayers to touring the world, and blazing hot music group Aziatix, a talented group of young men who are reshaping what Asian American entertainment is today.

NEW YORK — Jeremy Lin keeps getting better. Better even than Kobe Bryant on Friday night.

Lin had the most astounding performance of his remarkable week, scoring a career-high 38 points and outdueling Bryant as the New York Knicks held off the Los Angeles Lakers 92-85.

Buried deep on the bench a little more than a week ago, Lin led the Knicks to their fourth straight win, tying their longest streak of the season. His two free throws with 52 seconds left and some booming “MVP! MVP!” chants stopped the Lakers’ final rally and allowed the undrafted Harvard product to pass Carmelo Anthony for the highest-scoring game by a Knicks player this season.

Iman Shumpert added 12 points for the Knicks, who are still without Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. But they have Lin, the point guard that two other teams gave up on in December and didn’t get his chance in New York until three other players couldn’t do the job.
