Jeremy Lin once went from being a complete unknown to becoming a league sensation, seemingly in a heartbeat. It all culminated in a game in Maddison Square Garden against the Los Angeles Lakers where the guard dropped 38 points.

In his first 9 games of the 2011-12 NBA season, Lin played only 6 minutes per game, averaging just 3.6 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists. In his next 13 games during the month of February, the guard had averages of 22.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Lin began draining shot after shot over almost any opponent. Lin also made several game-winning shots. The movement began to be called Linsanity.

"Linsanity is a product of people underestimating him his whole life," the film's director Frank Chi said. "He was always good, good enough to be on the floor. They just never saw him, and society doesn’t expect that, and all of a sudden, he gets to the floor against the Nets … and it’s what?"

HBO's 38-minute documentary '38 at the Garden' covers the stories that surrounded and the moments that led to the 38-point game against the Lakers in MSG.

"I don’t even know what he’s done," Kobe Bryant said before the match at the time. "I have no idea what you guys are talking about."

The documentary premieres October 11th at 9 PM EST.
