A look back at Linsanity

Jeremy Lin started off his career with the Golden State Warriors. But did not reach the trajectory of his popularity till he joined the New York Knicks. Lin first caught the attention of the Knicks’ front office during his performance in the 2012 NBA playoffs.

But what really pushed his name over the top was his 38-point outburst against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. The team rallied behind Linsanity to a seven-game winning streak and the rise of Jeremy Lin began.

However, Linsanity was rather short-lived as his career and point-per-game average only went down after that. The Taiwanese basketball player only got traded from one team to another during his nine seasons in the league before calling it quits.
