In this week's who's hot, who's not, we've got some more #linsanity, some fast swimmers, a little bit of baseball, and we're hatin' on a couple of Ivy schools. Check it out, and let us know if we missed anything!
Who's hot
Jeremy Lin
How could we not start with Linsanity? Some fun facts: In Jeremy Lin's first five starts, he has scored the most points since 1976, beating out players like Shaq, Kobe, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan (a little caveat, he also has had the most turnovers…but we can't let that dampen how much he’s #linning, duh.) With Jeremy Lin merchandise flying off the racks, the time is now to head over to Madison Square Garden. But to say he came out of nowhere is not quite true, as he had this amazing move off the Wizard's John Wall.
However, when he played in D-League (the NBA's minor league of sorts), he averaged 21.5 points per game. Nonetheless, Jeremy Lin, the guy who signed a $762,195 contract, is now worth $14 million dollars according to Forbes, with an increase of 3000 (yes 3000) percent in merchandise sales.
