JEREMY LIN #linsanity

I know everyone is thinking i'm just hopping on the bandwagon of this Linsanity thing. It is partly true. The whole truth is I've learned about him during the lockout when he guested in Kevjumba's "I'm Not Cool" video (he was also a guest in Ryan Higa's video). After a few days, he started his own channel and I immediately subscribed. At first, it was just because he's asian (I'm supporting asian youtubers). After he posted his second video, he totally got my respect. 

In every video that he posts, he always puts a verse in the end. I find it really inspiring to see a guy who doesn't look like a creepy religious nut being very vocal about his faith. He was asked by Arden Cho what his other passions are aside from basketball. He said he really wants to be a pastor so he's doing a lot of community work right now, and a lot of other "good boy" stuff. <----that's my term

A few days ago, as I was having my daily dose of basketball news from the internet, I read his name. Finally! I smiled. I was thinking, "Wow, so he's getting some playing time now." A couple of days later, I read his name again. Cool. 

When I checked twitter, Philip Wang of Wongfu Productions tweeted Kevjumba a link about Houston Rocket's regret of letting JLin go. That was when I realized that this is now the real thing. Honestly, I don't follow NBA religiously. I only do that during playoffs. That's the reason why I haven't even heard of the Golden State Warriors before. By watching his video though, you could see his dedication. I am talking about his video, "A Day in the Life of Jeremy Lin." 

Tonight, I was able to watch the replay of the Knicks game vs. the Lakers, a.k.a. Lin vs. Kobe. To say that I am impressed with his performance is an understatement. I love how he credited everyone in his team during the interview and how he gives back the glory to God. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
