“Linsanity” And The Underground Rebellion
I’m not a big basketball fan. Never have been and probably never will be. But because I write for a living, I try to keep up with everything that’s going on in the world. Last night, I sat next to a guy at one of my favorite restaurants. I engaged him in conversation about his new Samsung phone, found out that he was an engineer for the nuclear industry, and was able to talk about the new Vogtle nuclear plants that will be coming online in Georgia in a few years.
But back to basketball.
Jeremy Lin is the newest sport phenomenon. He’s a point guard for the New York Knicks. He’s Harvard educated and was not drafted out of college. In fact, he didn’t receive a scholarship out of high school. He sat on the bench for the Knicks until about a week ago. Lin is one of the few Asian Americans in NBA history, and the first American player in the league to be of Chinese or Taiwanese descent.
