excerpt:

New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin, a Harvard graduate, has captured people's attention around the nation.

Lin has reportedly gained more than 60,000 Twitter followers in just five days. One fan wrote: "Can I get a RT from your biggest fan! Makes every asian not give up on their dreams on making it big!"

Lin, who allegedly didn't receive any college scholarship offers out of high school, has made quite an impact in the NBA.

In the team's last three games, he has scored 25 points against New Jersey, 28 points against Utah and 23 points against Washington.

In Wednesday's game against the Wizards, he had his first dunk of the season, a one-handed jam.

“I didn’t know he could dunk,” Tyson Chandler told the New York Times. “When he’s going in for it, I go: ‘No, Jeremy! Just lay the ball up.’ And all of a sudden he dunks it.”

As a Knick fan it's been freakin' weird too. Carmelo and Amare have been missing the entire time, since his emergence... I hope we're looking at the Chinese-American Steve Nash!
