Contest: Win a Jeremy Lin Authentic Jersey

[sg-gallery]

Jeremy Lin’s rise to Linsanity from anonymity is a story that gives the common basketball player hope. And now, our friends at adidas have hooked us up with Lin’s jersey to give away to one lucky common man. That’s right, we’re giving away one authentic Jeremy Lin Knicks jersey—the exact same jersey he wears every night at MSG while running the show for the Knicks. How exclusive is it? You literally can’t buy it in stores yet. Read the following question below and answer in our comments section for your chance to win:

Before Jeremy Lin burst on the scene, the New York Knicks were a lackluster team plummeting in the Eastern Conference standings, their season sinking along with the hopes and dreams of their fans. But with his arrival, the mood in New York City has changed—along with the team’s fortunes. With Lin at the helm and Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony back in the fold, the Knicks are a legitimate contender in the East. Sure, it’s insane to suggest that New York could win this year’s NBA title, but hey, so are Knicks fans. With that in mind, explain what a Knicks title in 2012 would mean to you. Be creative, be funny, but most of all, be honest.

The winner will be selected on Friday. Only 1 entry will win, so for the rest of the JLin fans out there (or fans of any other team and player), be sure to swing by NBAStore.com to pick up an NBA jersey, hat or other swag of your choice to properly rep your team as the Playoffs approach—and be sure to follow the NBA Store on Twitter!
