was the hottest commodity in the National Basketball Association in 2012.
Lin, the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA, was thrust into the starting lineup due to injury and unexpectedly led the New York Knicks to a dramatic turnaround. The 6-foot-3 guard sparked a global craze known as “Linsanity.”
