Lin-sanity

For the pass 2 week, New York have been hit by LIN-SANITY fever!!!!



Meet this guy, JEREMY LIN.........

Jeremy Lin 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 Harvard University graduate reached a partially guaranteed contract deal with his hometown Golden State Warriors. Lin is one of the few Asian Americans in NBA history, and the first American player in the league to be of Chinese or Taiwanese descent.

If drafted, Lin would have been the first Ivy League player selected by the NBA since Jerome Allen of Penn in the second round in 1995. On July 21, 2010, Lin signed a two-year deal with his hometown Warriors, his favorite team growing up. On December 9, 2011, the Warriors waived Lin on the first day of training camp. On December 12, 2011, Lin was claimed off waivers by the Houston Rockets. He played seven minutes in two pre season games with the Rockets. On December 24, before the start of the season, the Rockets waived Lin to clear payroll to sign center Samuel Dalembert. The New York Knicks claimed Lin off waivers on December 27 to be a backup and and people see him as the 12th to 15th guy on the roster.

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.  New York considered releasing Lin before his contract became guaranteed on February 10 so they could sign a new player.

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.

In the subsequent game against the Utah Jazz, Lin made his first career start. He had 28 points and eight assists

Next game against the Washington Wizards, Lin had 23 points and career-high 10 assists. It was his first double-double.

Lin scored a new career-high 38 points and had seven assists, leading the Knicks in their 92–85 victory over the LA Lakers

Lin scored 20 points and had 8 assists in a narrow 100–98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lin scored 89 and 109 points in his first three and four career starts, respectively, 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.

Lin scored a game-winning three pointer in Toronto less than a second remaining in a game where he passed Shaquille O'Neal's league record for the most points in his first five games as a starter.

It really touched to see Lin give credits to his team mate and not himself alone and he learned to place Jesus in the centre of his life.

Jeremy Lin's interview with Good TV

"Players playing that well don't usually come out of nowhere. It seems like they come out of nowhere, but if you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning. It probably just went unnoticed."

"I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore,"
