Growing up in Palo Alto, [[California]], Lin excelled at basketball (as well as academics) in high school, but was not offered an athletic scholarship for college and wound up attending Harvard. After being again passed up by the NBA draft, and after being signed and cut by both the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, Lin ended up on the New York Knicks.

"''Slowly, God revealed more to me. I started learning how to trust in Him, not to focus so much on whether I win or lose but to have faith that God has a perfect plan. For me to put more of an emphasis on my attitude and the way that I play, rather than my stats or whether we win a championship. I learned more about a godly work ethic and a godly attitude, in terms of being humble, putting others above yourself, being respectful to refs and opponents. There are really so many ways you can apply your faith to basketball.''"[http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Additional-Resources/Faith-and-Fate-of-Jeremy-Lin?offset=1&max=1]
