There's a chance we'll never see anything like Linsanity again.

Jeremy Lin wasn't close to being a household name when he joined the Knicks in 2011-12, but a stretch early in the season changed all of that. After barely playing in the team's 8-15 start, Lin got a shot in New York's matchup with New Jersey and ran away with it.

That marked the start of an incredible run that saw Lin become the talk of the sports world. He led the Knicks to seven straight wins, one of which came against the Lakers in a game that saw Lin battle with Kobe Bryant.

Not only did Lin put together the highest-scoring performance of his career with 38 points, but he outscored Bryant.

That game is now the subject of an HBO documentary called "38 At The Garden," which "chronicles the extraordinary ascendance" of Lin and the "Linsanity craze."

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch it.

What will '38 At The Garden' cover?

Here's the synopsis of "38 At The Garden" from HBO.com:

"38 At The Garden chronicles the extraordinary ascendance of point guard Jeremy Lin during his landmark 2012 season with the New York Knicks. Lin, an undrafted Harvard graduate, shocked fans, stunned his teammates and galvanized the Asian American community when he scored 38 points at Madison Square Garden against the Los Angeles Lakers, solidifying Lin’s hot streak and the 'Linsanity' craze.
 

"A decade later, Lin’s stature as a groundbreaking, cultural icon stands in stark relief to the recent hate crimes against the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) community. 38 At The Garden recognizes a pivotal moment in time for Lin, and celebrates a phenomenon that was bigger than basketball for the world.
"

In addition to Lin, the documentary will feature interviews with Pablo Torre, Lisa Ling, Hasan Minhaj, Jenny Yang, Ronny Chieng, Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert.
