Get the Linsay mug.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

Get the Linsanity mug.A take on the word insanity by incorporating the word "Lin". This is in reference to the NBA player Jeremy Lin - who went from a bench warmer into one of the most exciting phenomenon in NBA history. It all began on 02/04/2012 when Lin led the knicks in a win against the New Jersey Nets. Within one week from 02/04/12-02/12/14 they won 5 straight games and Lin has averaged more than 26 points per game with impressive assists.
OMG this is total LINsanity, Jeremy Lin just scored 38 points against the Lakers and led the Knicks to victory!
