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.
