The euphoria and enthusiasm that took over New York Knicks (and NBA) fans following the performance of point guard Jeremy Lin in February 2012. Lin went from being a walk-on at Harvard and playing D-league basketball to an NBA superstar almost over night.
Jeremy Lin averaged 27 points per game in his first 5 games with the Knicks, including multiple buzzer beater game winning shots. He scored more points in his first 5 starts with the Knicks than all-stars like Shaq, Allen Iverson, and Michael Jordan did in theirs.
