Most star players are spotted as early as high school, if not before, and almost always go on to play for one of the big basketball universities. But 1.91metretall Lin was turned down by UCLA, his dream college after high school. He did not receive any offers of basketball scholarships. He went to Harvard, where he studied economics.
After graduating from Harvard, no NBA team accepted Lin. But after doing well at a summer camp, he signed with the Golden State Warriors in July, 2010. While he did fairly well with the Warriors, Lin was demoted(降级) to a DLeague team three times. He was taken on briefly by the Huston Rockets but dropped again quickly before being signed by New York Knicks in December, 2011.
Before he became a star, Lin had been sleeping on the couch in his brother's living room. One night he was forced to get up out of bed because his brother had friends visiting from out of town.
Now those days are over. Lin has become worldfamous. His photo dominates the pages of sports sections and his game attracts millions of fans. It is his determination and persistence that contribute to his success.
