Linsanity Reaches Its Cultural Apex With <i>Teen Wolf</i>-Inspired Song
Mark Safan, if you were unaware, was the man responsible for the song "Win In The End" that fittingly scores the final moments of the quintessentially nonsensical 1980's film Teen Wolf.

Since Jeremy Lin has been shoehorned into the rookie/soph game, there's really no need for him in the Shooting Stars contest. But then, there's really no need for the Shooting Stars contest.
