Negreanu and Fox Talk Linsanity
if you've got a pulse, you've probably heard about "Linsanity" or in other words, the buzz that New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has created over the past couple of weeks in the NBA.
Elio Fox is wearing a New York Knicks hat and seated across from Daniel Negreanu. The two just spent several minutes talking a bit about the basketball star and how he's doing in the league lately, also about all the buzz he's created around the world, even with the not-so-avid NBA fan. They also touched on the recent controversial headline from ESPN that has blown up with over social media outlets.
After the Knicks' recent loss, an article headline read, "Chink In the Armor" with a leading picture of Lin battling for a loose ball after one of his nine turnovers against the New Orleans Hornets. The headline was quickly removed within an hour of its appearance, but the damage had been done. Although Fox didn't know about the headline, he was just as surprised that it was published as Negreanu was when he first got word of it.
Even in poker all the way down in Brazil, Linsanity has made its mark. And who would've thought an undrafted player out of Harvard would've ever made that much of an impact.
