Linsanity

To truly come out of nowhere and, like a Disney fairytale, dominate those around you like they are unworthy to be in your presence. It is different than being "Tebowed," which implies being beaten by someone with inferior skill and talent, but who was once capable of excellence at a less-than-elite level.

Linsanity, simply put, is an awe-inspiring display of talent by one who was unrecognized of possessing such talent by the "experts" in that particular field.

Max K: Did you know that Manny Pacquiao was once a sea urchin in the streets of the Philippines, unknown to the world, before becoming an 8-time world champion in boxing?

Floyd M: Really, that is pure Linsanity!

linsanity

When a seemingly average, unspectacular person suddenly erupts with success and develops a ridiculous cult-like following.

Rick: You gotta check out sportscenter. This guy who was cut by his old team just ripped off 20 points and 10 assists 4 games in a row! They say he's the best pg in the league!

Tom: How are you already wearing a t-shirt with that guy's face on it?

Rick: Apparently his tears can even cure cancer!!

Tom: Sounds like linsanity to me...

Linsanity

The mania surrounding New York Knicks Guard Jeremy Lin. He is most well known for his sudden apperance, and him being cut multiple times. He is also a Harvard grad. He is also the first Taiwanese-American to play in the NBA.

Guy 1: Dude this jeremy lin guy is really good.
Guy 2: I know, he is "linsane" on the court.
ESPN: ITS LINSANITY!!

Linsanity

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!!!

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!
