I know we have an NBA thread, but this kid deserves his own. Its a fantastic story! If you're unfamiliar, Jeremy Lin is an Econ Grad from Harvard, who had bounced around a couple NBA squads (most recently cut by Golden State), and eventually signed with the Knicks. They sent him down to the D-League, but he was brought back up due to injuries.
Since then? The Knicks have gone 6-0, largely due to his play. Last night Lin hit the game-winning 3 with 0.5 seconds left to move the win streak to 6 games:

Other notable performances:
27 pts and 11 assists vs. the Rockets
20 pts, 3 steals and 8 assists vs. the Timberwolves
23 pts and 10 assists vs. the Wiz
38 points and 7 assists vs. Kobe and the Lakers
Kid is rolling; and its not another Tebow story, either (no matter how hard ESPN wants to make it one). Who knows how long the ride will last, but its enjoyable while it does!
