Template:Chinese name Jeremy Shu-How Lin[1] (Chinese: 林書豪; pinyin: Lín Shūháo; born August 23, 1988) 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 Harvard University graduate reached a partially guaranteed contract deal with his hometown Golden State Warriors. He has been confirmed as half-man, half-god. Lin is the first American player in the NBA to be of Chinese or of Taiwanese descent.[2]

High school career

In his senior year in 2005–2006, Lin captained Palo Alto High School to a 32–1 record and upset nationally ranked Mater Dei, 51–47, for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II state title.[3][4] According to Dana O'Neil of ESPN, "... Lin was the runaway choice for player of the year by virtually every California publication."[5] He was named first-team All-State and Northern California Division II Player of the Year ending his senior year averaging 15.1 points, 7.1 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 5.0 steals.[3]

College career

Recruiting process

Lin sent his resume and a DVD of highlights to all the Ivy League schools, Cal, Stanford, and his dream school, UCLA.[6] The Pac-10 schools wanted him to walk-on. Harvard and Brown were the only teams that guaranteed him a spot on their basketball teams, but Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships.[7][8] Lin chose to attend Harvard.

Joe Lacob, incoming Warriors' owner and Stanford booster, said Stanford's failure to recruit Lin "was really stupid. The kid was right across the street. You can’t recognize that, [then] you've got a problem."[9]

Kerry Keating, the UCLA assistant who offered Lin the opportunity to walk-on, would say in hindsight that Lin would probably have ended up starting at point guard for UCLA.[10]

Rex Walters, University of San Francisco men's basketball coach and a retired NBA player, said NCAA limits on coaches’ recruiting visits impacted Lin. “Most colleges start recruiting a guy in the first five minutes they see him because he runs really fast, jumps really high, does the quick, easy thing to evaluate," Walters said. Lin added, “I just think in order for someone to understand my game, they have to watch me more than once, because I’m not going to do anything that’s extra flashy or freakishly athletic."[11]

Bill Holden, Harvard assistant coach, had initially told Lin's high school coach, Peter Diepenbrock, that Harvard was not interested in Lin. "Three weeks later, he calls me and says, 'I may have spoken a little too soon,'" Diepenbrock said.[11]

Harvard

In his sophomore season (2007–08), Lin averaged 12.6 points and was named All-Ivy League Second Team.[3]

By his junior year during the 2008–09 season, he was the only NCAA Division I men's basketball player who ranked in the top ten in his conference for scoring (17.8), rebounding (5.5), assists (4.3), steals (2.4), blocked shots (0.6), field goal percentage (0.502), free throw percentage (0.744), and 3 point shot percentage (0.400),[5] and was a consensus selection for All-Ivy League First Team. He had 27 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds in an 82–70 win over 17th-ranked Boston College, three days after the Eagles had knocked off No. 1 North Carolina.[3][12]

In his senior year (2009–10), Lin averaged 16.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.1 blocks, and was again a unanimous selection for All-Ivy League First Team. He was one of 30 midseason candidates for the John R. Wooden Award[13] and one of 11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award.[14] He was also invited to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.[15] Fran Fraschilla of ESPN picked Lin among the 12 most versatile players in college basketball.[12] He gained national attention for his performance against the 12th ranked Connecticut Huskies, against whom he scored a career-high tying 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds on the road.[16] After the game, Hall of Fame Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said of Lin:

"I've seen a lot of teams come through here, and he could play for any of them. He's got great, great composure on the court. He knows how to play."[5]

For the season, Harvard set numerous program records including wins (21), non-conference wins (11), home wins (11) and road/neutral wins (10).[17]

Lin finished his career as the first player in the history of the Ivy League to record at least 1,450 points (1,483), 450 rebounds (487), 400 assists (406) and 200 steals (225).[3]

He graduated from Harvard with a degree in economics and a 3.1 grade-point average.[18]

NBA career

Undrafted

If drafted, Lin would have been the first Ivy Leaguer selected by the NBA since Jerome Allen of Pennsylvania in the second round in 1995.[19] The last Ivy Leaguer to play in the NBA was Yale's Chris Dudley in 2003, while the last Harvard player in the league was Ed Smith in 1954.[6] After graduating from Harvard University, Lin went undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft. Eight teams had invited Lin to predraft workouts. Diepenbrock said that NBA tryouts do not play five on five. Lin acknowledged that the workouts were "one on one or two on two or three on three, and that’s not where I excel. I’ve never played basketball like that."[11]

He later joined the Dallas Mavericks for mini-camp as well as their NBA Summer League team in Las Vegas.[20] Donnie Nelson of the Mavericks was the only General Manager that offered him an invitation to play in the Summer League. "Donnie took care of me," said Lin. "He has a different type of vision than most people do."[7]

In five Summer League games, while playing both guard positions, Lin averaged 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 18.6 minutes per game and shot a team leading 54.5% from the floor.[21][22] Lin turned heads in his matchup against first overall pick John Wall when Lin scored 13 points to Wall's 21, but did so on 6-for-12 shooting in 28 minutes. Wall was 4-for-19 in 33 minutes.[23]

While Wall received the biggest cheer for any player during introductions, the crowd had turned on Wall and was cheering for Lin by the end of the game.[24]

Lin received offers to sign from the Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, and an unnamed Eastern Conference team. The Golden State Warriors would also offer Lin a contract in addition to the original three teams.[25]

Golden State Warriors

On July 21, 2010, Lin signed a two-year deal with his hometown Warriors, his favorite team growing up. Lin's deal was partially guaranteed for 2010-11, and the Warriors hold a team option for the second season.[26] The reports noted that the deal would include a first-year salary of close to $500,000 with more than half of it guaranteed.[27] Lacob had made the decision to sign Lin.[9] Lin said the counteroffers from the three other teams were higher, but he wanted to come home and play for the Warriors.[28] Lin also signed a three-year guaranteed contract with Nike.[29] His jersey was already on sale before his first NBA game.[30]

The San Jose Mercury News wrote that Lin "had something of a cult following" after his signing.[31] The San Francisco Bay Area, with its large Asian-American population, celebrated his arrival.[2] He would become the first American of Chinese or of Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA.[2][32][33] Lin received the loudest ovation of the night from the crowd of 10,004 in the Warriors' home exhibition opener at Oracle Arena when he entered the game in the fourth quarter.[34] The crowd had started chanting for him in the third quarter and cheered whenever he touched the ball. "That really touched me. It's something I'll remember forever," Lin said. He ended up with seven points, three rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes.[35] Lin drew the crowd's attention on the road as well. Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com attributed the attention Lin received out of town to the unique angle of "an Asian-American rising to rare basketball prominence".[36]

Lin noticed the expectations that followed him and warned, "I won't be an All-Star this year."[37] He was appreciative of the support, especially from the Asian-American community, but he also preferred concentrating on his play without all the attention when he had not "proven anything to anybody."[36] Frank Hughes of Sports Illustrated wrote that Lin talked with the occasional "seeds of self-doubt", which he said was not common to hear in the NBA. Hughes also found it rare when Lin compared himself to the Phoenix Suns' backup point guard Goran Dragić.[38] "Neither of us is a freak athlete, but we’re both effective and know how to play the game," Lin said.[39]

Lin and Stephen Curry, 2009–10 runner-up Rookie of the Year and a gold medal winner in the 2010 FIBA World Championship, received more interview requests than any other Warrior. Team officials regularly denied requests for Lin to help him keep his focus. He was approached to be the subject of documentaries.[36]

Smart planned to take pressure off Lin since Lin has a tendency to be hard on himself and get frustrated.[37] Smart admitted that he succumbed to the home crowd's wishes and put Lin into a game in the wrong situation. He vowed not to repeat that mistake.[36]

Lin made the Warriors' opening day roster for the 2010–11 regular season, but he was placed on the inactive list. Lin was disappointed but realized that "part of being on this team is putting your ego aside."[40] Lin made his NBA debut the next game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was Asian Heritage Night for the Warriors' home game, and Lin received a standing ovation from the crowd of 17,408 when he entered the game with 2:32 remaining in the fourth quarter.[41] He did not score in the 109–91 win but recorded one steal after tying up the ball and winning the subsequent jump ball.[42]

In the next game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Lin scored his first NBA basket, had three assists, and recorded four steals. He was applauded by the road crowd at Staples Center when he entered the game in the third quarter. He played 11 of his 16 minutes in the third quarter and committed five fouls but played a role in a 12-1 run by the Warriors.[43][44] "[Lin] came in and did a good job, gave us a good tempo," Smart said after the 107–83 loss to the defending NBA champions. Lakers' guard Derek Fisher praised him for his energy and aggressiveness.[45]

Similar to the exhibition home opener, Oracle Arena fans continued to root for Lin to play in the end of games and cheered every time he touched the ball. "When I'm on the road, I don't feel like the spotlight is on me," Lin admitted. Smart noted that Lin looked more relaxed on the road. "There's a lot of pressure on him at home, with all of the applause for just checking into the game, so I'm sure that cranks his nerves up a little bit," said Curry. "You can tell on the road he plays a lot better, because he can just go out there, play and have fun."[46]

At Toronto on November 8, the Raptors held Asian Heritage Night to coincide with Lin's visit with the Warriors. Over 20 members of Toronto's Chinese media covered the game.[47] Lin played 15 minutes, most coming in the first half, and finished with three points, three assists, two steals and two blocks in the 109–102 Warriors' win.[48] In the following game at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks, Lin again entered the game in the first half. According to ESPN.com NBA editor Matt Wong, "Lin checked into the game to loud applause, presumably from the many Asian-Americans in attendance."[49] He had scored seven total points in his first six games played during the year.[50] In a 89-117 road loss to the Lakers, Lin scored a (then) career-high 13 points in 18 minutes and again earned big cheers from fans in Los Angeles.[51]

An April 5, 2011, article posted by Slam Online stated that during intrasquad scrimmages between Warriors players, head coach Keith Smart implemented a rule. The rule was that no foul committed against Lin would ever be called. The idea behind this is that since Lin was a rookie and a not a well-known established player, he would not get many calls from the referees. Thus Jeremy would learn how to play through it. In the same article, Lin credited Reno Bighorns coach Eric Musselman with "helping him regain [his] swagger."[52]

Three times during the season, Lin was assigned to the Warriors' D-League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns.[53][54][55] Each time, he was later recalled by the Warriors.[56][57][58] He competed in the NBA D-League Showcase and was named to the All-NBA D-League Showcase First Team on January 14, 2011. He helped lead the Bighorns to a 2-0 record at the Showcase with averages of 21.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.5 steals.[59] Lin posted a season-high 27 points with the Bighorns on March 18.[60] He averaged 18 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists with Reno.[61] Lin had some misgivings when sent to the D-League because he felt he was being demoted and was not good enough to play in the NBA. After playing in the D-League, he realized he was still learning and putting in work and getting playing time in the D-League, which he wouldn't have received at the time with the Warriors.[62][63] Lacob said the Warriors received more than one trade offer for Lin while he was in the D-League, but he was happy with Lin's progress as an undrafted free agent. "He’s a minimum, inexpensive asset. You need to look at him as a developing asset. Is he going to be a superstar? No."[64] He finished his rookie NBA season averaging 2.6 points on 38.9 percent shooting in 29 games.[61]

On December 9, 2011, the Warriors waived Lin on the first day of training camp after the 2011 NBA lockout. He was a favorite of Lacob,[65][66] but the Warriors were freeing up salary cap space to make an offer to restricted free agent center DeAndre Jordan;[67][68] Lin was due to make nearly $800,000 that would have become fully guaranteed on February 10, 2012.[2][69] The San Francisco Chronicle said Lin would have had trouble beating out rookie guard Charles Jenkins.[70]

New York Knicks

On December 12, 2011, Lin was claimed off waivers by the Houston Rockets.[71] He was waived by the Rockets before the start of the 2011–12 season on December 24, 2011, so they could sign center Samuel Dalembert.[72] The New York Knicks claimed Lin off waivers on December 27 after an injury to guard Iman Shumpert.[68][73] Lin said he was "competing for a backup spot, and people see me as the 12th to 15th guy on the roster. It's a numbers game."[31] The Knicks' third-string point guard, he made his season debut on the road against the Warriors, where he was warmly cheered in his return to Oracle Arena.[74] On January 17, 2012, Lin was assigned to the Erie BayHawks of the D-League.[75] On January 20, he had a triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists in the BayHawks' 122–113 victory over the Maine Red Claws.[76] Lin was recalled by the Knicks three days later.[77].

Lin had a career night on February 4, 2012, when he scored 25 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists (against only 1 turnover) in a 99-92 Knicks victory over the Nets. During a time out, Lin and teammate Carmelo Anthony celebrated by bowing to each other. The statistics for points, rebounds, and assists were all career highs for Lin. After the game, Knick coach Mike D'Antoni, while being interviewed by MSG Network, said Lin has a point-guard mentality and "a rhyme and a reason for what he is doing out there"[78].

International competition

Lin has been invited by Chinese Taipei, which is the designated name used by the Republic of China (Taiwan) in international events, to play for their men's national basketball team in FIBA competitions. On July 28, 2010 while in Taipei to play in Yao Ming's charity game, Lin said he had not made a decision yet on whether he would represent Chinese Taipei.[62][79][80] In June 2011, the Chinese Taipei Basketball Association (CTBA) included Lin in its preliminary squad of 24 players for the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship.[81] The next month, however, the CTBA announced that Lin would not be included on their roster due to a knee injury.[82] Lin was also approached by People's Republic of China to play in the same tournament, but he declined their offer.[83]

On August 4, 2011, Lin stated that he would consider playing overseas during the 2011 NBA lockout. He wants to be fully recovered from his injury before making a decision.[83] In a video interview with CCTV-5 during the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship, Jeremy Lin said he would be open to considering playing in the Chinese Basketball Association and playing for the People's Republic of China but will make the decision when the time comes.[84]

Asian American stereotypes

Sean Gregory of Time wrote of Lin's zero Division I scholarship offers: "[Lin] was scrawny, but don't doubt that a little racial profiling, intentional or otherwise, contributed to his underrecruitment."[85] Lin said: "I'm not saying top-5 state automatically gets you offers, but I do think (my ethnicity) did affect the way coaches recruited me. I think if I were a different race, I would've been treated differently."[86]

Lin's high school coach, Peter Diepenbrock, said that people without meaning any harm assume since Lin is Asian that he is not a basketball player. The first time Lin went to a Pro-Am game in Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco, his coach said, someone there informed him: "Sorry, sir, there's no volleyball here tonight. It's basketball."[87] During Lin's college career, fewer than 0.5% of men's Division 1 basketball players were Asian-American.[85][86]

Lin has regularly heard bigoted jeers at games such as "Wonton soup", "Sweet and sour pork", "Open your eyes!", "Go back to China", "Orchestra is on the other side of campus", or Chinese gibberish.[6][85][86] Lin says this occurred even at most if not all Ivy League gyms. He does not react to it. "I expect it, I'm used to it, it is what it is," says Lin.[85] The heckling came mostly from opposing fans and not as much from players.[88] According to Harvard teammate Oliver McNally, a fellow Ivy League player did once call Lin a "chink".[85]

In January 2010, Harvard played against Santa Clara University at the Leavey Center, just 15 miles from his hometown of Palo Alto, California. Playing to a capacity crowd that included droves of Asian Americans wanting to see his homecoming, his teammates told him, "It was like Hong Kong."[89]

Lin considers himself a basketball player more than just an Asian American. He understands that there have not been many Asians in the NBA. "Maybe I can help break the stereotype," said Lin.[90] Asian Americans who had played in the NBA prior to the 2010–11 NBA season include Wataru Misaka, Raymond Townsend, Corey Gaines, Rex Walters, and Robert Swift.[25][91][92] "[Lin's] carrying the hopes of an entire continent. I only had to carry the hopes of Little Rock, Arkansas. He's accomplished a lot more than I have already," said Derek Fisher, who had won five NBA championships with the Lakers, after his first game against Lin.[45] Lin is setting an example for prospective Asian athletes in America who rarely see Asian-Americans playing on their favorite teams.[93] "I don't look Japanese," Walters said, referring to his mother's ethnicity. "When they see [Lin], it's an Asian-American.[94]

Some fans and commentators wrote off his Warriors' signing as a publicity stunt.[2] Larry Riley, the team's general manager, denied catering to the Bay Area’s large Asian population. He understood that some people would look at it that way. "We evaluated him throughout summer league," Riley said. “All that had to happen was for him to confirm what we already believed."[11] While the team created a campaign around him, Riley said it would not have been advisable if Lin was not a basketball player first.[95]

Personal

Lin grew up in Palo Alto, California.[36] His parents, Gie-Ming and Shirley, emigrated from Taiwan to the United States in the mid-1970s.[6][96] They are both 5 feet 6 inches tall.[97] His paternal family comes from Beidou, Changhua in Taiwan;[98] while his maternal grandmother is from Pinghu, Zhejiang in today's China.[99] He has an older brother, Josh, and a younger brother, Joseph.[96] Gie-Ming taught his sons to play basketball at the local YMCA.[5] Lin grew up in a devout Christian family and would one day like to be a pastor who can head up non-profit organizations, either home or abroad.[38][100] He has also talked of working in inner-city communities to help with underprivileged children.[88]

In a video interview conducted by Elie Seckbach, he asked Jeremy how it felt to be representing so many people. Jeremy responded by stating, "It's humbling, a privilege, and a honor. I'm really proud of being Chinese, I'm really proud of my parents being from Taiwan. I just thank God for the opportunity." He was then asked if he was fluent in Chinese. Jeremy stated that he could understand it, but could use some help speaking it.[101] In an interview conducted with NBADraft.net, Jeremy stated that he could only speak Mandarin, not Cantonese but can only read and write a little but had also taken classes while attending Harvard to try to improve. In a later interview attended by basketball players (under the age of 19) from Taiwan, he stated he would like to visit Taiwan again but also work on speaking Chinese.[102][103]

Lin also has a YouTube account[104], and regularly makes videos with Nigahiga and KevJumba.

Public image

In July 2011, Vivid Magazine, a glossy magazine dedicated to overseas Chinese around the world, named Lin one of its top eight influential Chinese-Americans.[105]
