For those who were not in the loop when the big buzz aired about Jeremy Lin, he is the 6-3, 200 pound point guard for the New York Knicks - an Asian-American from Harvard University. Until late last week, he was parked at the end of the Knicks bench and lived on the couch at his brother's apartment in Manhattan's Lower East Side.

The whole Knick's team never expected Lin to go crazy like this. The undrafted and largely unwanted Lin finally got a shot to move out of the bench and play. He promptly went on a transcendent tear averaging 27 points and 9 assists over a six-game stretch and ended up on this week's cover of Sports Illustrated.
