Who the #$%@ is Jeremy Lin you say? Well even more important than the New York Giants Superbowl win on Sunday came the emergence of this young, undrafted, Asian-American, Harvard-educated point guard out of the NBA D-League. In mysterious fashion, J. Lin has come virtually out of nowhere to lead the New York Knickerbockers out of their slump of a season. After coming off the bench in his first game, putting the Knicks on his back to get the W, he was assigned the starting floor general position in last night’s equally epic back-to-back Knick win. With Asian fans exultant all across the NBA fanbase there’s bound to be some skepticism from the rest of the world. One thing we know for sure? Jeremy Lin’s got balls of steel stepping into the mecca of basketball and performing the way he has with Stoudemire sidelined, Carmelo attending to a groin injury and Head Coach Mike D’Antoni fearing a pink slip. J Lin fever has begun.

Complex Magazine gets us up to speed with the pride of all of us North American bred, Asian kids who believed we’d make it to the NBA some day.
