If he were named Fred Smith and played for Sacramento, Linsanity (or, I guess, “Smithsanity”) would still be the league’s hottest story right now. Players don’t come out of nowhere and dominate NBA games like this. Lin was cut twice before the season and, as our Marc Stein reported, days away from being waived a third time. A week ago he had 114 points in his NBA career; in five games since he’s racked up 134. He scored more points in his first four starts than any other player since the ABA-NBA merger.
