--Lin went to Harvard, wasn't drafted, was cut by two teams, wound up on the end of the Knicks bench, was jammed into the starting lineup because of injuries . . . and proceeded to put up INSANE STATS to lead the team to six straight wins.
--And now, his rite of passage continues . . . like TIM TEBOW before him, he's got his own online Facebook photo trend. It's called "Linning."
--Before the Knicks games, Lin does one of those elaborate handshakes with a teammate . . . and to pay homage to his nerd roots, the handshake involves cupping their hands around their eyes like thick glasses.
--So now, people are taking photos of themselves making the Lin glasses hand signal at each other and posting them online. It's like the new Tebowing, only lovingly mocking nerdiness instead of religion.
