SHAO-"LIN"

If you are a fan of sports you have to be excited about the story of "Jeremy Lin". You can't turn on the TV and not see a story about him. For good reason he has been the talk of the town. Here we have someone who was on the verge of getting released from the Knicks just a week ago to now being the toast of the town. This is the "American" story, someone who was told he couldn't do it and beating the odds. This is more then a feel good story, this is breakthrough. I'm not going to far when I say that Jeremy Lin's breakthrough in this league can be compared to Jackie Robinson's breakthrough in MLB. I'm not saying its the same as Jackie because he definitely had more hurdles to overcome but I think the effect can be the same. Asian Americans have never made a dent in this league and they now have one they can call their own, but bigger then that we are all have someone we can call our own. When I say "we" I mean the regular person who works hard and goes after what they want regardless of the obstacles and road blocks. Jeremy Lin represents us all and I am excited to see where his journey will go. #salute
