    Lin-mania sweeps the nation, and the world. Buzzer-beating shots are just part of the story.

    Jeremy Lin, point guard without precedent. He’s scored more in his first 5 games than any hall of famer– Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal included. And scoring isn’t even his game, Lin’s an assist man.

    There’s a very strong case that he’s the most surprising story in pro basketball history. As for pro sports history, there was once this guy who played for the Washington Senators. But Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo. was a work of fiction!

    This hour, On Point: how did everyone in the NBA whiff on this season’s transcendent story?

    -Mike Pesca
