He unexpectedly led a winning turnaround with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA) during the 2011–12 season, sparking a cultural phenomenon known as "Linsanity". Lin is the first person of Chinese or Taiwanese descent born in the United States to play in the NBA, and is one of the few Asian Americans to have played in the league.
