The hype over NBA player
Jeremy Lin has me a little intrigued. The mass fascination over Lin has really come out of nowhere. In the space of a couple of games, this formerly unknown Asian-American pro baller and Harvard grad has captured an international audience. While a big deal has been made out of Asians, especially Chinese, watching Lin's performances, his following goes far beyond the Great Wall of China. Why that happened so quickly and so broadly is something I just don't know. However, as I said, the phenomenon does intrigue me.
Apparently, anything Lin touched has become valuable.
The San Jose Mercury News reported that enterprising people have put their Palo Alto, California middle school yearbook, complete with photographs including the young Lin, for sale. According the the
Mercury News story, the asking price for an unsigned middle school yearbook is over two thousand dollars. You have to double down to get a copy Lin allegedly autographed.
What would you pay for a piece of Harvard's second NBA player?
