Player Review: Jeremy Lin could have been the perfect fit

They say time is a flat circle and that perfectly suits Jeremy Lin’s journey through the NBA. As a member of the New York Knicks, Lin found himself playing a game against the Toronto Raptors on Valentine’s Day of 2012 where it was the midst of Linsanity. The situation: game tied at 87, Lin with the ball at the top of the key. “5, 4 … Lin for the win … got it!” Matt Devlin on the call, along with a crowd of 20,000 stunned as Lin drains the game-winning three-point shot to lift the Knicks over the Raptors.
