One article discusses his importance in sports and in China. His popularity has grown everywhere, because of him, people in China have tuned in to watch him play. His humbling story and attitude make him likable to fans everywhere. His hobbies are eating junk food and playing video games. People have begun to really like him because he seems like an ordinary guy instead of a superstar basketball player. While his story is being covered 24/7 grantland is one very interesting place to learn more about him.
One of grantlands articles took a different and more pessimistic approach to the Jeremy Lin story. While most writers are addding fuel to the Lin hysteria and giving his story a Hollywood feel, Amos Barshad wrote an interesting article predicting how the Jeremy Lin show would end. Some guesses were simple such as a broken leg while others were more complex. One of his ideas was all the other teams got sick of his populartity and would kind of ally together to shut Jeremy Lin down everytime he played, untill the Knicks had to stop playing him. Another was that he would go crazy from the sudden populartiy and he would quit playing basketball and move up in the mountains secretly and live the rest of his life in solitude. The thinking outside of the box creativity in these scenarios was very amusing and interesting to read.
