Would Adam Levine cut it in the Army? How long would Eminem last in basic training? (Actually, Marshall Mathers would probably stick it out for a while; he’s got some authority issues, of course, but he’s a tough little bastard.)

He’s neither the editor of the law review nor a Nobel laureate on the verge of another scientific breakthrough. Instead, Jeremy Lin is at the Lavietes Pavilion, the cramped home of the Harvard men’s basketball team, making life miserable for the Dartmouth Big Green. During a typically athletic play in the second half, Lin strips the ball from an unsuspecting Dartmouth guard, dribbles down the floor and flushes home a ferocious dunk.
