Jeremy Lin has been a NBA sensation in 2012. Is he for real or is he just lucky? Image: Nikk La
On Feb. 4, The New York Knicks basketball team played the New Jersey Nets at Madison Square Gardens in New York City.
The Nets played hard, but they simply couldn’t beat this Knicks team. There was something special about them… and that was Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin turned heads during that game by scoring 25 points and adding seven assists.
Good numbers for any player, but especially for an undrafted player with only a handful of games under his belt.
But this is where the story really gets good.
After his strong game against the Nets, the Knicks let Lin keep playing, and it’s been Lin-sanity ever since!
Lin has scored 20 points in nine of his last ten games, including 38 against the Lakers, a three-pointer within the final seconds to beat Toronto, and 28 points, 14 assists and five steals against last year’s champs, The Dallas Mavericks.
Last night, the Nets met up with the Knicks again at Madison Square Garden for their long-awaited rematch.
This time, despite Jeremy Lin’s 21 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds, the Nets were victorious 100 – 92.
