'''Jeremy Lin''' is a starting point guard for the New York Knicks, a professional basketball team in the [[NBA]]. An [[evangelical]] [[Christian]] and [[Taiwanese-American]], Lin was repeatedly overlooked by college and pro teams, but excelled when he finally had a chance to start and in a matter of days became one of the most popular players in the NBA.[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/02/08/SP5G1N509O.DTL]

Growing up in Palo Alto, 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, ended up on the New York Knicks.

On February 4, 2012, Lin came off the bench [http://www.nba.com/games/20120204/NJNNYK/gameinfo.html#nbaGIboxscore] but ended up playing nearly 36 minutes (of a 48 minute game) and leading the Knicks to victory, beginning what is now a seven game winning streak for the then 8-17 squad. The next day he made his first career start, and led his team in scoring and assists as they won again despite the loss of star player [[Carmelo Anthony]] to injury. Lin has continued to excel and his team has continued to win, while his team has at times been without both Anthony and [[Amare Stoudemire]], their other highly paid star player.
