linsanity

A term coined after the sudden and unprecedented emergence of Jeremy Lin, an American-born athlete of Chinese/Taiwanese descent, into NBA stardom. His story is so intriguing because he is the first American-born Asian athlete in the NBA and because his rise came after being undrafted and overlooked by the NBA. Oh, and he as a degree in economics from Harvard. If you admire Jeremy Lin, and can't get enough of watching him play, you are said to have linsanity.

Jim: What are you doing?!? You never watch the NBA.

Bob: Yeah...well that was before I became diagnosed with a case of linsanity.

Linsanity

The global frenzy with the breakout NBA performances (starting in February 2012) of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Shu-How Lin, who graduated from Harvard.

Lin + Insanity = Linsanity

It's an official word in the English language, according to the Global Language Monitor.

I started watching the NBA again because of Linsanity.

Insanity

Thinking that trying to do the same thing five different ways is going to change the result.

The people behind the leadership had tried the nice way and five other ways to get people to do something and kept getting the same resistance and the same result, which was their own insanity.
