“Director Evan Jackson Leong embarked on this documentary before Jeremy Lin was a household name, following the future star as he struggled to find his place in a league where Asian American players are few and far between. More than just a film for basketball addicts, Linsanity serves as an insightful study of the way we perceive race in America and shows what is possible if someone believes in himself.” – Sundance

AABANY Goes LINsane
By now if you haven’t heard about a certain point guard for the Knicks by the name of Jeremy Lin, you should probably stay hidden under that rock you’ve been hiding under. For the rest of you, AABANY is thinking about organizing a group outing to see Jeremy take the Knicks to the playoffs. We’re looking at April 17, the game against the Celtics. Seats will be in the West Balcony, cost is $130 per person.
