This sports biography chronicles the NBA champion's rise from obscurity to superstardom with the New York Knicks.
Undrafted out of college and waived in short order by the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, Jeremy Lin was signed by the underachieving New York Knicks in December 2011. In his first twenty-three games, he played only fifty-five total minutes and was close to being cut again.
Then, on February 4, 2012, with the Knick decimated by injury, he came off the bench against the New Jersey Nets and scored twenty-five points, leading the Knicks to victory. He started the following game and topped that with twenty-eight points and eight assists. Linsanity was born!
Here Lin's full story—from the playgrounds of Palo Alto to a high school championship to the Ivy League, and from sleeping on his brother's couch to stardom at Madison Square Garden.
