Linsanity Page #9

like what?

Like, what don't we do,

is the question.

Sister-in-law:

What do you do?

Shirley:

What do you do?

I take a nap every day.

Shirley:

Yeah, that I know.

Who does that?

Not many people can.

Not many people can.

And you eat a lot,

Nonstop all day long.

Yeah.

Yesterday, the general manager

was like,

"hey, Jeremy, by the way,

you're guaranteed now,

So get off the couch. "

I was like...

Shirley:
This guy has

a place to stay,

But he doesn't

want to stay there.

He want to crash

in here.

They don't want this to

be on the news, Jeremy,

[ laughing ] sleeping on

the couch at his brother's.

Why?

Jeremy:
It's crazy.

It's just crazy to...

I'm telling you,

social media,

Twitter, Facebook,

my phone, it's just...

I don't know if it could get

crazier than this.

Like, I really don't.

Reporter:

Jeremy Lin?

Are you following

that story at all?

No idea.

I know who he is,

But I don't really know what's

going on too much with that.

Reporter 2:
Are you

surprised at the production

That Lins had

over the past week?

I don't even know

what he's done.

Like, I have no idea

what you guys are talking about.

[ cheering ]

Jeremy:
I'm reading

all these quotes

About what he's saying.

"Kobe Bryant has no idea

who Jeremy Lin is. "

I'm like, "what?"

I'm like,

"why would you do that?

"I didn't say

anything about you.

I never talked bad

about you. "

So when I heard that,

I was like...

[ exhales ]

"here we go. "

Reporter:
Would you

consider guarding him

If he's having

one of those games?

[ chuckles ]

Let's not get

ahead of ourselves here.

Let's go!

Reporter:
There is

a new man in town.

"may the best man lin. "

Host:
Over-under, 23 points

for Lin tonight, Bomani.

Against the Lakers with those

trees they've got inside?

It won't be

so Linsane tonight.

Host:
Kobe or Lin?

Who scores more tonight?

I'm going with my guy,

Jeremy Lin, my hero.

[ host laughing ]

Because all he does

is Lin, baby!

Announcer:

Jeremy Lin in just one week

Has turned things around

For his career

and for the new York Knicks.

I love it!

It's awesome, man!

This is like the greatest thing

that's happened to new York ever.

Commentator:

It's one of those nights,

And it's

one of those stories

Where it really is

why we love sports.

I didn't know how

it was gonna turn out,

But I was like,

"I'm just gonna be really,

really aggressive. "

Everything was going well,

everything was going down.

Announcer:
Lin puts it up,

puts it in!

Terrific start!

And listen

to this garden crowd.

I think the one thing where I

kind of lost it a little bit,

He'd come down,

He kind of

like stutter-stepped,

And spun

and finger-rolled it.

Announcer:

Lin likes the open floor.

Spinning,

puts it up and puts it in!

Sensational play

for Jeremy Lin!

The garden erupted, and to

do it on the national stage,

Anybody who saw that

moment will never forget.

Announcer:
Electrifying

the garden again!

He's got 18 points.

Welcome to our studios for the

Jeremy Lin Toyota halftime show.

Announcer:

Jeremy Lin was superb,

7 of 12 from the field,

18 points, 5 assists.

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers

struggling shooting the ball,

But they're

only down by 8.

Bryant, a couple of fakes,

Gonna put it up,

and knocks it down.

Stripped by Lin,

stolen by lin.

Left side, Shumpert,

left-handed layup!

Bryant spinning,

difficult shot.

Color analyst:

For some, yeah.

Kobe Bryant again.

He is starting to get in

one of those zones right now.

Gasol is on lin.

Puts up the 2-pointer.

Puts it in!

Jeremy Lin with 31!

And the rebound

by Jeffries.

Lin for 3.

Bang!

P.A. Announcer:

3- pointer!

Jeremy Lin!

And my favorite play

of this whole year

Was when I hit

that 3 in the corner

Just because that game

had so much hype,

And that shot

was kind of the dagger

That put the game

out of reach for them.

Reporter:

Already cut twice this season,

Sleeping on

a teammate's couch,

Because he had

nowhere else to go,

And, suddenly, Jeremy Lin

is the toast of Manhattan.

This is it right here.

This is my dream,

and, uh,

I'm just thankful

to god, man,

Because this is my dream

being lived out,

And I'm so thankful

for that.

Announcer:

Jeremy Lin, 38 points.

It's the most

by a knick this season.

Linsanity continues here

in Madison square garden.

It's indescribable,

really.

It's something

I've never seen before.

I didn't foresee

this coming.

You know,

it's unbelievable.

This is,

like, how weird I am.

I was like, "I'm gonna go

off this game,"

And at the end of the interview,

they're gonna be like,

"oh, so do you think

Kobe knows who you are now?"

Reporter:
Jeremy, you knew

somebody was gonna ask you this,

But do you think Kobe

knows who you are now?

Jeremy:

If they ask me that question,

I'm gonna be like,

"who the hell is Kobe?"

That's

what I was gonna say.

And then I,

like, thought about it,

And I prayed about it,

I was like, you know,

"what would Jesus do?"

And I'm like, "Jesus

probably wouldn't say that,"

So I was like,

"I'm gonna change my answer. "

Aw, well,

you guys have to ask Kobe.

I don't know.

Let's get to what matters

in sports today, Jeremy lin.

Man:
Right now, the biggest

star in new York is Jeremy lin.

I don't even think

you have to be a sports fan

To hear about this story.

New York has a raging case

of Linsanity.

That's what it is right now.

It's madness right now.

Jeremy Lin!

[ upbeat music ]

All I do

is Lin, Lin, lin.

Reporter:

What do you think?

What do you think

about all this?

Um, it's crazy.

It's just crazy.

Whoopi Goldberg:

One of the biggest headlines

In sports right now is

Linsanity.

Reporter:
If you haven't

caught it yet, you will.

Linsanity takes

new York by storm.

Dan Patrick:
He was a last-ditch

effort for the Knicks.

They sort of said,

"all right, who wants to play?"

And he raised his hand and,

"all right, get in there. "

Stephen a. Smith: I have

never seen anything like this

In all my years

of covering sports.

I've never seen somebody

go from a no-name

To an absolute phenomenon

inside of two weeks.

It's unbelievable.

He's doing it with charisma,

with style, with flair,

And he's having fun.

It's crazy.

It's catching fire.

Linsanity,

I think it'll probably be

In the dictionary

in the next version.

Linsanity? I love it.

I love Linsanity.

I'm so happy for him.

Reporter:

Jeremy Lins 89 points,

The most by any player

In his first three pro starts

since the aba-NBA merger.

Announcer:
Outside to Lin,

crosses over Ridnour,

And hits.

Jeremy Lin

up top to fields.

Lin a whirling dervish

right to the rim,

Zigzagging to the cup.

The Knicks have stolen one.

It's their fifth straight win,

their longest of the season.

You have been surpassed

as the most famous person

Who is

a Harvard graduate.

I knew about Jeremy

before you did.

Are you taking credit

for Linsanity?

It kind of feels

like you are a little bit.
