We always knew it was contagious. In this video, a Tennessee woman describes how she caught an accidental case of Linsanity. Holland Christensen of Chattanooga, Tennessee went from knowing nothing about Jeremy to wanting to become his biggest fan. All thanks to an internet troll.
Don’t have time to watch the video? In a nutshell:
Woman wants to get Chinese tattoo saying “My true north”
Asks on the internet for a translation
Gets trolled with the characters for Jeremy Lin instead
Doesn’t verify translation until days after she’s already gotten the tattoo
Decides to own the mistake and tries to become his biggest fan
In this fan-made video, Hsiu-Chen Kuei compiles a number of video clips showing Jeremy receiving the brunt of some hard fouls… yet somehow none of them were deemed hard enough to merit a flagrant foul. Is Jeremy the victim of unfair treatment?
ESPN reporter Tom Haberstroh did some follow-up research and found that of the 813 fouls that Jeremy has drawn over the past three seasons, none were called a flagrant foul. Coincidence or bias? What do you think?
In the off-season, the Lakers picked up Jeremy from the Houston Rockets in a trade that sent him, a future first round draft pick and a second round draft pick in 2015 in exchange for the rights to Sergei Lishchuk. Says Jeremy of being with the Lakers: “I’m in a better place now. There’s opportunity for me here. No knock against anybody in Houston. The reality of the situation here is there’s a lot more room for me to be aggressive.”
Jeremy was one of six athletes to make Time Magazine’s annual list of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World,” along with Novak Djokovic, Lionel Messi, Oscar Pistorious, Tim Tebow and Yani Tseng.
What makes Jeremy so influential? According to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who wrote Jeremy’s page: “Contrary to what you might read, Jeremy, 23, is no overnight sensation. In fact, he achieved success the old-fashioned way: he earned it. He worked hard and stayed humble. He lives the right way; he plays the right way.”
Jeremy is currently rehabbing a torn meniscus and hopes to rejoin the Knicks in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs should they make it that far.
Jeremy was in good spirits following surgery to repair his left knee. He tweeted that the minor surgery performed by team orthopedist Answorth Allen was a success: “Praise God for a successful surgery…road to recovery! Lets goo. Much love to the fans for your support and kind words.” The operation was to repair a small tear in the meniscus of the left knee.
In what can only described as incredibly disappointing news, it was just revealed today that Jeremy is getting surgery on his left knee after an MRI earlier this week showed that he had a small, chronic meniscus tear. The surgery and subsequent rehab is expected to keep Jeremy from playing for six weeks, which means that unless the Knicks can make a deep run in the playoffs, his season is probably over.
Let’s all wish Jeremy the best and hope he comes back better than ever!
