Unless you live under a rock fortified by a moat and barbed wire, you've by now heard Knicks guard Jeremy Lin be described as the NBA's answer to Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

It's a tenuous connection (both are human and Christian!), though there's no denying they have each acted as human defibrillators for their respective teams.

With a win over the defending champion Mavericks on Sunday, Lin and the Knicks are now 8-1 in their last nine games. Like many New Yorkers, Justin Tuck has followed Lin's rise, though he sees a different NFL comparison.

The @nyknicks are starting to remind me of the @giants. You win when the team plays #ALLIN or should I say #allLIN

"All In" was a popular catch phrase for the Giants during their run up to Super Bowl XLVI. The subtle hash tag tweak represents fine work by Tuck.

To take Tuck's line of thinking a bit further, Lin might be to the Knicks as Victor Cruz was to the Giants. Both went undrafted in 2010, both went to school in Massachusetts, both went from obscurity to stardom in weeks.

If Lin can come up with a celebration dance that honors his Taiwanese heritage, we'll have to get these guys a sitcom.
