franchise&#8217;s Asian-American star.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the Knicks&#8217; seventh straight win on Wednesday night, MSG showed viewers an image featuring guard Jeremy Lin&#8217;s head in between ends of a broken fortune cookie with the sentence &#8220;The Knicks&#8217; Good Fortune&#8221; on a piece of paper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNBC&#8217;s Darren Rovell was the first to post the image on Twitter, pointing out that MSG was &#8220;walking a fine line&#8221; with the offensive image.<\/strong> Lin is the NBA&#8217;s first American-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese descent. <\/p>\n<p>The fortune cookie is actually an American invention by most accounts; it dates back to San Francisco in the late 1890&#8217;s to early 1900&#8217;s, and is based on a Japanese cracker. <a
