In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.

　　During Lin’s time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1, 482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.

　　When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.

　　At first, playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.

　　But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2017, on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.

　　The Associated Press called Lin “the most surprising story in the NBA” . Knicks fans developed the nickname for him “Linsanity” (林来疯). Time magazine released its 2017 list of the 100 “Most Influential People in the World” , Jeremy Lin included.
