The only word that can describe the beastly performances of Jeremy Lin, the first American-born player of Taiwanese descent, who had a breakout season as a point guard for the New York Knicks in the 2011-2012 NBA season.
Dude A: Jeremy Lin is Taiwanese and went to Harvard, there's no way this guy can ball.

Dude B: Are you kidding me? 38 points against Kobe and 28 points against the Mavs? It's LINSANITY!!!

The Jeremy Lin phenomena. Lin, a 24 yr Chinese/Taiwanese American who has become a sensation after being put as a starter of New York Knicks by leading the team to a long-time-no-see winning streak. Considering his performance as a rookie starter, with Carmelo and Amare on the lineup, it's just insane.
Lin beat the buzzer an Knicks got the win! Linsanity continues!

The extreme amount of hype that surrounded New York Knicks Point guard Jeremy Lin after he was given a starting position where he carried his team for about a month and consumed sports tabloids. Linsanity had died down following the knicks loss to Miami heat, but still exists and will return with another winstreak.
Jeremy Lin was 25 for 32 last night, that's some serious linsanity if you ask me

The craze surrounding Asian NBA guard Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks. Starting from a humble beginning with not a chance given in sight, opportunity finally arose with injuries to multiple Knicks players and Lin took off SOARING.

It's safe to say that after his first few games starting that he has already cemented himself as one of the greatest of all time. He is truly a special player that could probably calculate you out of existence if he truly wanted to. Don't mess with Lin unless you want to DIE!
Came out of nowhere and shot out of a cannon is JEREMMMYYYYY LIIIIIIIIIIIIIN with another 30 point night with the game-winning 3 point shot! This is insanity NO IT'S LINSANITY!!
