Jeremy Lin and the ‘Linsanity’ that he created amongst fans with his nerd-chic Cinderella story has officially crossed over into the world of musical theater. While breaking into song may not be the best way to tell your peers that you are a future basketball star, his incredible dance moves speak volumes.

Jeremy Lin’s rise from obscure benchwarmer to NBA sensation has been the feel good story of February. However, there has been a dark side to the New Knicks point guard’s improbable ascent: the terrible, awful puns based on his last name.

Even if you aren’t a sports fan, you’ve probably been hearing an awful lot about this Jeremy Lin fellow. The New York Knicks point guard’s completely-out-of-nowhere run began on February 3rd when the-then obscure bench warmer came off the pine to spur the Knicks to a victory over the New Jersey Nets. He was inserted in the starting line-up after that, and since then has led the Knicks — who were p

You probably won’t be surprised about this, but Jeremy Lin would rather have control over his name. And following his astronomical rise to fame, there’s been a just as astronomical rise in pirate Linsanity merchandise. But can he trademark his own name?

Linsanity? Lincredible? Linnovative? As New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin's legend continues to grow, one pun after another using Lin's name has popped up. But is this the best one so far? Yes. Unless you're a family member...

Unless you’ve been involved in a total media blackout, you’ve likely heard about Jeremy Lin — aka “Linsation” — the New York Knicks guard who’s such an on-court phenomenon that TV ratings of Knicks games have jumped 70 percent, causing the publicly traded stock of Madison Square Garden, where the team plays, to hit a 52-week high. But Wall Street isn’t the only one profiting from all the hype. Rea

Despite all the Linsanity, the New Orleans Hornets walked into Madison Square Garden Friday night and linded the Knicks 7 game winning streak, beating New York 89-85. Despite several key injuries and three players on 10 day contracts, New Orleans has won 3 in a row.

New York Knicks star Jeremy Lin continues to wow the NBA with his rags-to-riches story, becoming the biggest thing to hit Broadway since a rat was spotted in the subway. He’s created almost as many highlights as fans have plays on his name, so why not have some more fun with all the wordplay?

New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has taken the sports world by storm with his linsational play. In a matter of 5 days, Lin had a cult-like following. Jeremy Lin mania is both ample and contagious. Having said that, he's not the first athlete to create a mania. What are the biggest sports manias in history?

The Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder hold the best record in their respective conferences as the NBA has reached the 30-games played mark. Here’s what’s going on in the NBA this week:

New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin is the fastest-growing athlete brand in the world. In fact, in the last week, it skyrocketed to $14 million. Is there anything the Asian-American, Harvard educated, NBA Eastern Conference player of the week can't do?

Forbes magazine has released its annual list of the value of every NBA team. With giant television deals and a new collective bargaining agreement, the average value of all NBA franchises has increased by 6.5% in the last year. The NBA owned New Orleans Hornets saw it's net worth grow as well, and currently ranks higher than 5 other franchises. Who reigns as the most valuable?

It started innocently enough. “Kid Reporters” Jaylah and Ryan were interviewing members of the New York Knicks at their practice facility, asking the very tall men kid-friendly questions, like can they spell “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” (Not surprisingly, they couldn’t.) Then, the intrepid duo went in for the kill, asking the players if they would sing some Justin Bieber for the camera. Y

The New Orleans Hornets have made a three team trade that will send All-NBA point guard Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Houston Rockets would receive All-Star power forward Pau Gasol. The Hornets will receive Lamar Odom from the Lakers, PF Luis Scola, SG Kevin Martin, and PG Goran Dragic from the Rockets, and a draft pick.

The LA Lakers aren't the only NBA team interested in trading for New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul. Eight teams have reportedly contacted Hornets GM Dell Demps about acquiring Paul.

A Yahoo! sports report today claimed Chris Paul's agent told the New Orleans Hornets his client did not want to sign an extension with the team, and was requesting a trade to the New York Knicks. However, the Times-Picayune is reporting, through two NBA sources, that Paul has not requested a trade to the Knicks. Paul met with the media today, saying, "My heart is in New Orleans."

New York Knicks guard Andy Rautins is trying to save up his money during the NBA’s lockout. So he’s done with many young Americans have done: he’s moved back in with his folks.

Could FIU head coach Isiah Thomas help the Knicks get Chris Paul? The former New York Knicks head coach and GM receives credit for helping get Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire to the Big Apple, even though he wasn't with the Knicks at the time. At least that's the opinion of a few sports journalists that work for the New York Daily News. Even though he's no longer employed by the Knicks, could he be attempting to broker a deal for superstar Hornets PG Chris Paul?

New York Knicks guard Chauncey Billups has been a really good NBA player, for a really long period of time. But has he been good enough, for long enough, to be a Hall of Fame candidate, when his playing career is over?
