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?
Jeremy times his jump perfectly and swats DRose’s layup attempt. The Bulls did go on to win the closely contested game, 104-99. Jeremy put up 15 points, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in about 33 minutes of playing time.
Despite a sluggish first half, the Knicks overcame a 17 point deficit to overwhelm the Cavs 120-103. How did Jeremy fare? Just another day at the office with 19 points and 13 assists to only 1 turnover.
