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.
