The NBA Dribbled Out

Could there be anyone else for the most improved player award? He was on the cover of Time Magazine. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, twice. He galvanized Asian-Americans all over the country and all over the world. He brought the Knicks back from the brink of another abyss on the court, and on wall street. He largely lived up to impossible hype before getting injured. To say he improved is a tragic understatement. He made Tebow-Mania a flash-in-the-pan. He is an Andy Warhol celebrity fever dream, come to life. He’s also not going anywhere.

He is Jeremy Lin.
