Jeremy Lin 林書豪
(http://picroda.jphip.com/manlove/jphip00942.jpg)
Jeremy Shu-How 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 2010 Harvard University graduate reached a partially guaranteed contract deal later that year with his hometown Golden State Warriors.
Lin seldom played in his rookie season and was assigned to the NBA Development League (D-League) three times. He was waived by Golden State and the Houston Rockets the following preseason before joining the Knicks early in the 2011–12 season. He was again assigned to the D-League and continued to play sparingly. In February 2012, he unexpectedly led a winning streak by New York while being promoted to the starting lineup, which generated a global following known as Linsanity. 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.

rare Asian point guard, Jeremy Lin, who led underrated IVY League Harvard basketball to their best season last year and to its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1946. im sure you may have seen him. they lost in the NCAA tournament
if they dont sign Shannon Brown, The Lakers supposedly have an interest in signing Jeremy Lin, an undrafted point guard from Harvard playing on the Mavericks summer league team. The kid is a 6-3 200# point guard who outplayed #1 pick in the draft John Wall when the Mavs met the Wizards in the summer league. This kid is no Sun Yue. Here are the highlights from that game:
