Words that begin with “in-” that the New York press can use to describe Jeremy Lin’s game

Tired of the same old nouns, verbs, and adjectives being used to describe Jeremy Lin’s game — like “Linsanity” and “Lincredible”? I recommend the following to spice things up a bit, to bring a little originality and a little more of the vast English language into the discussion.
