Get the Linsanitymug. The extreme amount of hype that surrounded New York Knicks Point guard Jeremy Lin after he was given a starting position where he carried his team for about a month and consumed sports tabloids. Linsanity had died down following the knicks loss to Miami heat, but still exists and will return with another winstreak.

Get the Linsanemug. The meteoric rise of New York Knicks Point guard, Jeremy Lin, an improbable Harvard graduate Chinese-American NBA basketball star who became an improbable media darling despite a Time Warner Cable contract dispute with the MSG Network, prompting New Yorkers to illegally stream games in the winter of 2012. Not to be confused with Lindsanity - a reference to Lindsay Lohan coined by Perez Hilton - the term Linsanity was coined by mid-2010 when Lin's acquaintance Andrew Slayton registered the domain name linsanity.com.
Linsanity is the ultimate Cinderella story!
