Exclusive // Jeremy Lin Air Force 1 Quickstrike
“Jeremy Lin was a 23-year-old undrafted player, barely hanging on to a roster spot. During the 2010-2011 season with the Golden State Warriors, he appeared in only 29 games, averaging 2.6 points and 1.4 assists. Then everything changed.
Despite his unremarkable first year in the league, there Lin stood, on the hallowed hardwood court at Madison Square Garden, starting the first game of his career. Two nights after dropping a shocking 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists (all career highs) against Deron Williams and the New Jersey Nets, he tallied 28 points and 8 assists to lead the Melo-less Knicks to victory over the Utah Jazz. The then-coach of the Knicks, Mike D’Antoni, declared that the team would ride Lin’s momentum like “freakin’ Secretariat,” and the buzz grew louder.
By the next week, the crafty point guard from Harvard was making a huge impact for the Knicks night in and night out. His teammates loved every minute of it, and the Knicks faithful ate it up, too. We witnessed basketball fans from all different walks of life, embracing in jubilation after every huge play – every time he threw a perfect alley-oop lob to Landry Fields, or contorted for an up-and-under layup, or screamed to the heavens following a three-point play. He scored 38 points to beat Kobe Bryant’s Lakers, and he dropped 28 and 14 against the defending champion Dallas Mavericks. Lin scored a total of 136 points in his first five career starts, the most since the 1976 NBA-ABA merger, surpassing Shaquille O’neal. They called it Linsanity.”

…did this seriously just happen? Yes, yes it did. Sorry for further contributing to my massive Korra spam with my voice… But these parody lyrics by thecatbureau and legendofkorraholyshit’s image that inspired them were JUST TOO GOOD. Best song ever combined with my current obsession? I had to do it. No regrets. Enjoy, I guess.
Let’s get down to business to defeat Amon!
Water, Earth and Fire, but there’s still just one!
He’s the biggest douche I’ve ever met, and you can bet that by Book Two…
Amon, I’ll bend the hell out of you
Fiery as Azula and as tough as Toph,
Swift just like Katara, but as Aang, I’m off
I can’t meditate or be the leaf, but with three, it just won’t do
Somehow, I’ll bend the hell out of you!
I’m never gonna calm myself!
Gotta stay with Tenzin’s teachings -
But screw the rules! Pro-bending is my jam!
This guy’s got me scared to death -
Hope he doesn’t take my bending!
Now I really wish the Equalists would scram!
I must be as light as a flying lemur,
I must be calmer than most by far!
Must keep my temper and fear no other,
And soon I will be the next great Avatar!
Time is racing toward us, ‘til Amon comes forth!
Take to heart my training, and I’ll brave the storm!
He will never have his way with us! Benders, you know what to do,
Amon, we’ll bend the hell out of you!
I must be as light as a flying lemur,
I must be calmer than most by far!
Must keep my temper and fear no other,
And soon I will be the next great Avatar!
I must be as light as a flying lemur,
I must be calmer than most by far!
Must keep my temper and fear no other,
And soon I will be the next great Avatar!
This is amazing!
