Jeremy Lin: Twitter Explodes as Knicks PG Carves Up Lakers at MSG

Ryan RudnanskyJun 4, 2018

In his last four games with the New York Knicks, undrafted point guard Jeremy Lin has been a revelation, scoring a combined 114 points and dishing 32 assists.

So it was only natural that Twitter would blow up on Friday as he did the same against Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers.

Lin ended up with 38 points, seven assists and four rebounds on 13-of-23 shooting, as he led the Knicks to a 92-85 victory over the Lakers and once again stunned the world.

Linsanity: engage.

Eric Stangel, head writer and executive producer of Late Show with David Letterman, referenced the sentiment that Lin is the Tim Tebow of the NBA.

SportsCenter's evil twin, NOT SportsCenter, took a crack at Lakers point guard Derek Fisher:

NBA Guru shot us with a Justin Bieber reference:

Jemele Hill of ESPN was forced to defend her stance on Lin (as I will have to do for the rest of the season):

Andrew Fung of the Fung Brothers was not impressed with Mike Bibby when he subbed in for Lin:

LA account manager Catherine Bumble apparently loves Lin more than the Lakers:

And a man who goes simply by the name of Reg had a great tweet about the Harvard graduate:

You honestly think Baron Davis is going to start over Lin when he comes back from injury?

Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead hammered home this point:

Reinvigorated NBA fan Peter Bennett tweeted Darren Rovell:

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports couldn't see how Harvard wasn't unstoppable with Lin at the helm:

And it's becoming more and more clear that Mike D'Antoni's run-and-gun system isn't distorting our views of Lin's talent, as Ken Berger of CBSSports.com tweets:

By the end of the game, even Lakers fans like Paul Etienne had to give props to Lin.

Heck, even Ian O'Connor of ESPNNewYork.com was comparing Lin to Derrick Rose:

Kobe Bryant, as we all know, claimed he didn't know who Lin was before the game.

Leave it to Chamillionaire to close this out in style:
