Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks
Feb. 4-15 — Linsanity breaks out Jeremy Lin, a previously little-known Harvard grad, became a legend in early February, captivating the world with his improbably strong — if turnover heavy — play. It started on Feb. 4 as he scored 25 points and made seven assists off the bench in a comeback win over New Jersey. He went on to lead the then-reeling Knicks to seven consecutive wins. Not bad for a guy who had been crashing on his brother’s couch.

D-Will averaged 21.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, three assists and 1.2 steals per game over those 15 regular season games as Besiktas went 13-2, endearing himself to thousands of Besiktas fans. (DeronWilliams.com)
“I’d never scored 50 in a game in my life — definitely not in high school or college. I wasn’t really a scorer at those levels, even in the NBA. I scored more in the NBA than I ever scored before, but I never got 50. I’ve had some great shooting games in the past, but never at that volume.”
