To say that New York and the rest of the world has pretty
much gone LINsane is an understatement.
Jeremy Lin is now the most famous former benchwarmer for the
New York Knicks. His jersey is the highest selling at this time and his numbers
on the court is just as high. He is dominating the news, blogs and
entertainment. His family back home in Taiwan is now a paparazzi favorite.

And you know you have made it when SNL does a
skit about you.
But I sit back and I wonder, with Jeremy, who has literally been
sitting on all this talent for so long, it begs the question- who else is
wasting their talents to keeping the seats warm? We see that Amare Stoudemire
and hopefully Carmelo can co-exist with Jeremy and so I look to different teams
and wonder if they can allow their top players to get some rest and not feel
obligated to carry the team buy giving some of the benchwarmers a chance to
shine. I think about Derrick Rose, who if he sits out a game, the team is reduced
to mirroring a bunch of zombies that have lost their way on the court. Is there
another Jeremy Lin out there on bench that Derrick and other top players can
look to if they are not fully on their A-game that night or maybe even
completely out the game for whatever reason? One thing I do know is certain-
Jeremy is unstoppable and is former benchwarmer to be reckoned with.
