Jeremy Lin has continued to amaze, becoming the main attraction in the Mecca of the Sports Universe (MSG) for the New York Knicks.   Lin is playing so well, that Kinck fans, rather than joyfully anticipating the return of injured stars in Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudamire are actually worried about how they will fit in with NYC's newest hero.

Lin's story is even more admirable because he is Asian American, from an Ivy League university, who was 4 days away from being cut, as his 10-day contract was nearing finality.  He was days away from being released for the 4th time in 14 months, probably ending his NBA hopes, and suddenly, he is the life-force behind the resurgent Knickerbockers.


For 7 consecutive games, Lin, and his Knicks have been unstoppable, winning their way back into Eastern Conference relevance.  His stats are incredible, and the results are indisputable:

With that said... can we cool it with the Lin Puns?  Linsanity was cute, but the liberal usage of that and other puns using Jeremy Lin's name has become unbearable.  here are some of the worst offenders:
