JEREMY LIN, JEREMY LIN, JEREMY LIN JEREMY LIN,JEREMY LIN !!!!!!
That is the name in everybody's head right now.
Everybody knows how this dude is. I get call all the time from friends in Sweden and they are asking me to buy his jersey and send it to them.
In 3 weeks, this kid went from a Zero to Hero. Weeks ago he used to sleep on his brothers couch and today he is about to make millions of dollars.
He did not receive any scholarship for basketball in college so he decided to go to Harvard tp play basketball and study. After that he got drafted to the league. First he went to Golden State, where his home is, then he got traded to Houston Rockets. No playing time and no one believed in him. He was moved down to D-league and we was doing a pretty god job there. He got his chance to prove everybody wrong on February 4. He got the chance to prove his skills by the Knicks. The game was against New Jersey Nets and Lin had an amazing 25 points and seven assist. From there on, Lin has been killing every team. Against Lakers he had a career high of 38 points!
He shot the Buzzer beater winner against Raptors and tonight against Kings he had 13 assist.
I most say that I like him as a player because the most important thing for him is to make the team win either with his help or without. That is amazing, how you can have that mentality. Not many players believe in team spirit.
I believe also that he is a big motivation for players that thinks that becoming a NBA player is impossible.
You just have to dedicate yourself to it and also believe in yourself. Like my mom always says, "If you don't believe in yourself, who will?"
