Benjamin Yeh (AFP): "For Taiwanese, Lin is 'God' in an NY Knicks shirt"TAIPEI — He's not quite a local boy made good, but he'll do: NBA sensation Jeremy Lin, born and bred in America, is inspiring a feverish following in his ancestral home of Taiwan, a society craving true heroes.Lin, born 23 years ago in the United States to Taiwanese parents, only speaks halting Mandarin, but his triumphs with the New York Knicks are being hailed as grounds for island-wide celebration."Lin-Sanity: Coming from Behind to Score Five Wins in a Row," Taiwan's mass-circulation United Daily News roared across its front page after another successful weekend for Lin, the first US-born NBA player of Chinese descent.

Wed. morning Feb. 15, 2012 "LINSANITY" continues!!! I watched Lin and company take on the Raptors last night. The word I use _and think best describes Lin_is Perserverance. The first half of the game was a bit of a struggle for Lin but he NEVER gives up. He hangs in there and keeps pressing. Looking for opportunities to make something happen. The 2nd-half, and in particular the 4th quater (and especially the final 2 minutes) of that game was as incredible a display of Leadership and pure B-ball skill as I've ever seen. Just riveting! And I hope this doesn't sound racist because it's TRULY meant to be a compliment: When I watch Lin play, what I see is an incredibly talented Chinese-American who knows how to play elite BLACK basketball.

Oh yeah Lin has almost a million followers on Twitter now. That video of his highlights is the truth too. Thanks DJ.

I'm not a Knick fan but I watched that Laker game Friday night on ESPN. D*MN that was crazy. This kid Lin is the real deal. He completely torched Kobe Bryant. KOBE BRYANT!! I hate to be a fairweather follower but I gotta start watching Knick games more often. They could make some noise with STAT and Melo + Tyson and Lin. I'm impressed!

With the exception of watching a few NBA players that I really enjoy, I don't follow the NBA. But Lin's story, and the way he plays the game, caught my attention right from the start.I'm hoping he has what it takes to go the distance and isn't just a flash-in-the-pan type player who'll soon fizzle out. He's such a skillful and energetic player to watch!
