Linsanity

The term used for rising NBA legend Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks. He recently has led the team to an amazing 5 game winning streak, despite the absence of the star players. He also went undrafted in 2010, and furthermore was waived 2 times.

After emerging literally out of nowhere, he has become a national spectacle. His game winning drives are considered by many standards to be bordering on that of "insanity" and hence

LINSANITY
A:Dude, you hear the Knicks beat the Lakers? And Jeremy Lin scored 38 points over Kobe Bryant's 34 points?

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.
