By Wednesday morning, the Jeremy Lin era in New York could be over.

If it happens, and the Knicks let Lin go to the Rockets, it'll be one of the more shocking personnel moves in recent memory.

Lin fell out of the sky, stepping in to a Knicks lineup decimated by injuries and single-handedly turning the team around.

In the process, he became a star who transcended sports.

Looking back on the period we'll all refer to "Linsanity," it's hard to believe all of that stuff really did happen over a one-month span.

We collected 17 artifacts from Linsanity that will take you back to that crazy period in sports history.
