Saturday February 4Th, New York entered their game against New Jersey with an 8-15 record. Carmelo was injured and Amare was dealing with a death in the family. Jeremy Lin an undrafted rookie free agent from Harvard, was nearly released by New York. The Knicks have had point guard troubles all season. Prior to arriving in New York, Lin was released by Houston and Golden State. Jeremy was sleeping on his brother couch in Manhattan since his NBA contract wasn't guaranteed. Lin would go on to led the Knicks to a win vs. the Nets, a win vs. Utah, a win vs. Washington, a win vs. Los Angeles Lakers & a win vs. Minnesota. Since Lin has made his debut the Knickerboxers have won 5 straight games to bring their record to 13-15. Many wonder how Lin will mesh with Carmelo and Amare once they return to action. Lin has been an Internet social media and television sensation. He's always kept it about the team regardless how well he has played vs. Deron Williams, Devin Harris, John Wall, Kobe Bryant and Ricky Rubio. Actually out scoring Bryant 38-34 during a victory at Madison Square Garden. How did the kid from Harvard slip through the cracks, he led them to the NCAA Tournament as Ivy League champions. During the NBA camps he appeared in, he's showed what everyone now is seeing : the ability to find open teammates with the pass, willingness to play defense, explosive first step, range on the jump shot, able to finish in transition. Lin(sanity) within a week has turned many doubters into believers, while inspiring people on so many levels. Let's see what the remainder of the season has in store for Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks.
