28 points and 14 assists for Jeremy Lin as the Knicks beat the defending champs on national TV. This story has become more than surreal. I love it.

>Can you believe Jeremy Lin? This is not a story anyone would believe in fiction. He has come out of nowhere to lead the downtrodden New York Knicks on a winning streak, filling up the basket and handing out assists. In the sports headlines after the first couple of wins I literally did not even recognize his name. That's how far below the radar he was. And now his is the hottest selling NBA jersey.

>He finally caught my eye when he dropped 38 points on the Lakers in a Knicks win. Then he hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer in Toronto to win another one. Stories like this are what help keep us believing in the miracles in life. Do you believe in magic?
