He has been passed over in the NBA draft, cut by two teams in the same preseason and finally obtained a seat at the New York Knicks. On Feb. 4, he was another undrafted player seated on the end of an NBA bench. But three games, 76 points and 25 assists later, he’s now the talk of the league. His name is Jeremy Lin.
He always said “give me a chance and I’ll do it”, and he’s doing it.
—said the coach of New York Knicks. He said that he was afraid to play Jeremy Lin before because he didn’t know what to expect from the 23-year-old guard.
In this moment, there’s no doubt that Jeremy has become as big of a star as Kobe and LeBron—and maybe bigger.
—said Giovanni Funicello, a sports agent. The NBA was fearful that the level of interest in China would drop dramatically because of Yao’s retirement. Lin’s appearance is going to help bridge the difference.
