Bo Derek Jeremy Lin And Boomer & Craig- Craig Bo Derek Jeremy Lin& Boomer- Bo Derek, an American actress and model and an international sex symbol, was on the "Boomer & Carton" morning show on WFAN radio last week to promote her appearance on CBS's "CSI: Miami" television show, and she couldn't help but confess she is an admirer of the New York Knicks' newest star, Jeremy Lin.

"Isn't it great? I just love it," Derek said. "It's just like the Olympics. Just when you think they will never break Mark Spitz's record, then something comes along like Michael Phelps. I love it.


"Hey, I'm Bo Derek, and I have LINsanity."
Lin has taken over the nation and the world. He has been boosting ticket sales across the NBA.
You can hear Derek talk about her case of LINsanity here. Her appearance on "CSI: Miami" airs Sunday at 10 p.m. EST.

Lin has taken the NBA by storm and within only two weeks has gone from unknown to internationally recognizable. But it is not just in America were Lin is drawing large followings but also overseas as well.

"To pull off 20+8 in six successive games shows Jeremy Lin is no fluke," Beijing-based basketball commentator and former basketball player for China's national basketball team Ma Jian said of Lin.

Lin is becoming so popular in China that finding his Knicks jersey, even a fake one, is next to impossible.

"His jerseys have sold out, even including the counterfeit ones," a clerk at a store in Zhejiang province told The New York Times.

With fans around the world rushing to become a part of "Lin-sanity," the athlete's talents are being claimed by both Mainland China and Taiwan.

Lin was born in Los Angeles, but his parents immigrated to the United States from Taiwan in the 70s. However, Lin's maternal grandmother came from Mainland China's Zhejiang province.

People in China are so thrilled about their new star that nearly 1.5 million people have mentioned Jeremy Lin on the micro-blogging site Weibo, China's national version of Twitter, according to a recent report by The New York Times.
