(Newser) – The jersey Jeremy Lin wore while scoring 38 points against Kobe Bryan's Los Angeles Lakers has been auctioned off online—for $42,388, USA Today reports. The money from the Knicks jersey, worn Feb. 10, will go to the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a charity linked to Madison Square Garden. Bidding on Charitybuzz.com began at $1,100, the site says.

"Jeremy Lin Jersey Nets $42K for Charity" And probably 15 cents will actually go to those who need it.

Whoa...a week ago the ACTUAL Jeremy Lin was only worth forty-two grand because he has some kidneys he could donate to the highest bidder...strange what a week's worth of basketball games can do for one's worth in this world...he seems like a decent dude though, so good for him and the Garden of Dreams Foundation, I suppose...

I do adore Mr. Lin! I hope he continues rocking out and being a class act. He's a good example of what it means to be a good guy!
