Jeremy Shu-How Lin (born August 23, 1988) is an American professional

basketball player with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball

Association (NBA). After receiving no athletic scholarship offers out of high

school and being undrafted out of college, the 2010 Harvard University graduate

reached a partially guaranteed contract deal later that year with his hometown

Golden State Warriors. In late 2011, Lin spent less than two weeks with the

Houston Rockets, moving to the New York Knicks at the very end of the year. Lin

is one of the few Asian Americans in NBA history, and the first American player

in the league to be of Chinese descent.

High school career

In his senior year in 2005–2006, Lin captained Palo Alto High School to a

32–1 record and upset nationally ranked Mater Dei, 51–47, for the California

Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II state title. According to Dana

O'Neil of ESPN, "Lin was the runaway choice for player of the year by virtually

every California publication."He was named first-team All-State and Northern

California Division II Player of the Year, ending his senior year averaging 15.1

points, 7.1 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 5.0 steals.

College career

Lin sent his résumé and a DVD of highlights to all the Ivy League schools,

Cal, and his dream schools Stanford and UCLA. The Pac-10 schools wanted him to

walk-on. Harvard and Brown were the only teams that guaranteed him a spot on

their basketball teams, but Ivy League schools do not offer athletic

scholarships.

For the season, Harvard set numerous program records including wins (21),

non-conference wins (11), home wins (11) and road/neutral wins (10). Lin

finished his career as the first player in the history of the Ivy League to

record at least 1,450 points (1,483), 450 rebounds (487), 400 assists (406) and

200 steals (225). He graduated from Harvard in 2010 with a degree in economics

and a 3.1 grade-point average.

Undrafted

After graduating from Harvard University, Lin went undrafted in the 2010 NBA

Draft. Eight teams had invited Lin to predraft workouts. He later joined the

Dallas Mavericks for mini-camp as well as their NBA Summer League team in Las

Vegas.Donnie Nelson of the Mavericks was the only General Manager that offered

him an invitation to play in the Summer League. "Donnie took care of me," said

Lin. "He has a different type of vision than most people do."

In five Summer League games, while playing both guard positions, Lin averaged

9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 18.6 minutes per game

and shot a team leading 54.5% from the floor. Lin received offers to sign from

the Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, and an unnamed Eastern Conference team. In

addition to the original three teams, the Golden State Warriors also offered Lin

a contract.

New York Knicks

The New York Knicks claimed Lin off waivers on December 27 to be a backup

behind Toney Douglas and Mike Bibby after an injury to guard Iman Shumpert;

recently-signed guard Baron Davis was also injured and weeks away from playing.

Lin said he was "competing for a backup spot, and people see me as the 12th to

15th guy on the roster. It's a numbers game." The Knicks' third-string point

guard, he made his season debut on the road against the Warriors, where he was

warmly cheered in his return to Oracle Arena. On January 17, 2012, Lin was

assigned to the Erie BayHawks of the D-League. On January 20, he had a

triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists in the BayHawks'

122–113 victory over the Maine Red Claws. Lin was recalled by the Knicks three

days later.

On February 4, 2012, Lin had 25 points, five rebounds, and seven assists—all

career-highs—in a 99–92 Knicks victory over the New Jersey Nets. Teammate

Carmelo Anthony suggested to coach Mike D'Antoni at halftime that Lin should

play more in the second half. After the game, D'Antoni said Lin has a

point-guard mentality and "a rhyme and a reason for what he is doing out there."

In the subsequent game against the Utah Jazz, Lin made his first career start.

He had 28 points and eight assists. In a game against the Washington Wizards,

Lin had 23 points and 10 assists. It was his first double-double. On February

10, Lin scored a new career-high 38 points and had seven assists, leading the

Knicks in their 92–85 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. He outscored the

Lakers' Kobe Bryant, who had 34 points.

On February 11, Lin scored 20 points and had 8 assists in a narrow 100–98

victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lin scored 89, 109, and 136 points in

his first three, four, and five career starts, respectively, all three of which

are the most by any player since the merger between the American Basketball

Association (ABA) and the NBA in 1976–77. He is the first NBA player with at

least 20 points and seven assists in his first four starts. Lin was named the

Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 assists

and 2.0 steals in those four starts with the Knicks going undefeated. On

February 14, Lin scored a game-winning three-pointer against the Toronto Raptors

with less than a second remaining in a game.

The Associated Press called Lin "the most surprising story in the NBA".

Bloomberg News wrote that Lin "has already become the most famous [Asian

American NBA player]". Knicks fans developed nicknames for him along with a new

lexicon inspired by his name, Lin. Time.com ran an article titled, "It's

Official: Linsanity Is for Real".Hall of Fame player Magic Johnson said, "The

excitement has caused in [Madison Square] Garden, man, I hadn't seen that in a

long time." He appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the headline

"Against All Odds", which The New York Times called, "the greatest tribute".

Lin's story was also on the front-page of many Taipei newspapers.
