Having caught "Linsanity" for two weeks, I follow almost every NBA game he was in. Since I had never watched any NBA games before, I had a lot to catch up on. For example, how many players is each team allowed to have? What does "point guard" mean? In order to find out the answer to every single question I had, I did a lot of research. As a teacher, doing research is part of my job duties, so I have no problem with this "research project". I can all the information online. While watching games, I can ask my husband for help. Though he doesn't follow NBA, he is a loyal fan of the NCAA. His knowledge about basketball is far enough for me, the beginner of the NBA Knicks' fan.
I don't know how the real NBA fans look at me and many other Taiwanese people who started watching NBA games because of Jeremy Lin. I admit I'm not a real NBA fan, but I have watched more than one NBA game since I got "Linsanity". Within these two weeks, I know a lot about the NBA. I know what goal tending is. I also know the role of a point guard. More importantly, I've eye witnessed Jeremy Lin's humble side.
Jeremy Lin's Taiwanese blood has made every single Taiwanese proud of him. Jeremy Lin's unselfish play has inspired his teammates to play less selfishly. Though I don't know if Carmelo Anthony can play as unselfishly as Jeremy Lin. I believe sooner or later Melo will change. See, this is a good example of "one person can change a group of people." Thanks to this good example, I pray I can be a good influence for my students!
