Jeremy Lin owns Linsanity

31 May

If Jeremy Lin can continue his meteoric rise in the NBA he’ll get paid in more ways than one.

Lin now owns the rights to the term, phrase or whatever you want to call it, “Linsanity”. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office registered the term for Lin after he filed for it in February.

It’s obvious that someone close to Lin was on to something after Lin became the hottest name in the NBA after the New York Knicks put him in the starting lineup. Anyone wishing to use the “Linsanity” term will have to go through Lin or his representatives.a

If he can keep up his stellar play he stands to get paid.

Jeremy Lin rookie cards are selling high

11 Feb

Jeremy Lin has been the hottest name in the NBA in the past two weeks. Name me one player who’s garnered more interest since the Super Bowl. That’s right Jeremy Lin. With the New York Knicks upstaging Kobe Bryant and the Lakers (Lin had 38 points) last night, Lin’s stock is high.

You know what else is high? The stock on Lin’s rookie card. Lin’s rise is one of epic proportions. No one knows how long it’ll last, but for now enjoy the ride.

From Paniniamerica.com: His name is Jeremy Lin. He plays point guard for the New York Knicks. And in the last 24 hours, his 2010-11 Panini America autographed Rookie Cards have sold for as much as $1,000. Another one sold for $799. Since Tuesday, nearly two dozen have been snagged for at least $200. Non-auto cards are selling at $100 apiece.     

“That’s why people like to collect,” Panini America NBA Brand Manager David Porter said. “You never know when someone like Jeremy Lin is going to have that opportunity to play and prove himself. Less than a week ago, his cards were at the bottom of collectors’ want lists. Now, the chase is on even for his base cards. That’s what makes collecting cards so unpredictable.”


No one saw this coming and if they did I want that person to pick out some lottery numbers for me. Lin is a great story and I’d like to see his meteoric rise continue. It just goes back to what I always say. If you can play, you can play.
