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...

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!
