I haven’t cared much for basketball since Mr. B. stopped playing the local youth version, but New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has changed that.
I will now track down and watch any game he plays in. Not only because he’s so good, and such a team-player with his assists, but for the novelty of watching this Asian-American in an African-American-dominated sport.
His is also a fascinating success story, from the bench to stardom in a few weeks, and by all accounts he’s a very nice guy. He might even inspire Mr. B. to get back in the game. I hope so. But time will tell.
