Lin and Notrious B.I.G. Forever ‘Lin-ked’ Together in Infamy!

The late, great Christopher Wallace, more widely knows as the Notorious B.I.G.

Okay Eye On Sports, I know you’re probably wondering what the hell Jeremy Lin and the late Christopher ‘Notorious B.I.G.’ Wallace have in common.

Well, for some strange reason, the more I thought about Lin’s fantastic play for the Knicks recently, the more I kept thinking about these famous lyrics from one of the greatest rap artists of all-time.

It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine 

I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number same hood
It's all good 

 - Notorious B.I.G.

Okay, Jeremy Lin, Eye On Sports sees you've
got your Michael Jordan tongue-wag down cold!

Not only is Lin ‘blowin up’ like crazy these days, but he’s also got Twitter blowin’ up in a big way as everyone from NBA players to NFL players and celebrities weight in on the player that took the league by storm this season – and deservedly so.

"Jeremy 'Kobe Wuz Smokin'
But I Wasn't Joke-'Lin.
Tonight Was NO FLUKE. I Seen It Wit' My Own 4 EYES.
