Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did Jeremy Lin come from? Kobe Bryant said it best: "Players playing that well don't usually come out of nowhere. It seems like they come out of nowhere, but if you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning. It probably just went unnoticed." After being passed over by top colleges, then spending a year warming benches and getting passed back and forth NBA between teams and only seeing game time in the D-Leagues, Jeremy Lin gave the world of professional basketball an unforgettable breakout performance, rocking Madison Square Garden and leaving everybody asking, "Just where did this guy come from?" The answer is simple – He's been hiding in plain sight. The 23 year old Harvard graduate has been an outstanding ball-player from an early age. Jeremy Lin's story is both astounding and uplifting and something that shouldn't be missed. From obscurity to "Linsanity" – this is the story of Jeremy Lin. This book also includes all of Lin's collegiate, D-League, and NBA statistics.

Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device. Limited time offer: If you buy the print edition, you can keep the Kindle edition for yourself! In Jeremy Lin: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Underdog Stories, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's grittiest point guards, Jeremy Lin. Once left with few options than sleeping on a teammate's couch, Jeremy Lin has had an incredible journey to get to where he is today as a highly capable starting point guard. Most known for his impressive performance in February through March of 2012, Jeremy Lin has since solidified himself as a top point guard in the league. Despite his successes, Jeremy Lin remains incredibly humble and a role model for aspiring basketball players around the world. He has become a global icon, especially within the Asian American community. In this unauthorized biography, you'll learn the story of what makes Jeremy so great and why it should be no surprise why he is successful today. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and Early Life High School and College Career Getting Drafted, Detour to the NBA, Rookie Season, The Birth of Linsanity, Skyrocketing with the Rockets The Short Stop in Los Angeles, Linsanity to Charlotte, The Injury Years in Brooklyn Personal Life Impact on Basketball Legacy and Future An excerpt from the book: What makes the world of professional sports beautiful is that everyone goes through a unique journey towards relevance and stardom. The path towards the life of a professional athlete, particularly in the NBA, takes many forms and shapes. Others have had it easy since they were young. Some showed potential early on but could not live up to it. And there are even some that never showed any hint of greatness within them but would eventually turn out to be better than advertised. Because journeys differ, not everyone gets to experience the full-frontal media-exposed life towards stardom that heralded basketball stars such as Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal, and LeBron James had ever since they showed potential for stardom at an early age. Similarly, not everyone goes through the process of long-term development that late-blooming players such as Jimmy Butler, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Draymond Green have had to undergo. But there are those types of journeys that are as rare as they come. One case in point was how Jeremy Lin was able to make a name for himself in the NBA when the rest of the league thought he was merely a novelty player. Born in the United States to Taiwanese parents, Jeremy Lin is as Asian as they come, but grew up as an American. With that in mind, Lin was practically a basketball ambassador for Asia, where more than half of the world's population resides. His Taiwanese roots made him a similar player to that of Yao Ming because of how they bridged America with the Asian market. However, what made him more unique was that he was raised in an American setting whereas some of the other international ambassadors of the NBA grew up in their respective home countries. Because of this, Lin became the very first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent that made it as far as the NBA.

Book excerpt: Who would have thought that an Asian American who majored in economics at Harvard would become the NBA’s most talked about star? While the story seems more like Hollywood fantasy, it has really happened. Undrafted out of college and waived in short order by the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, Jeremy Lin was signed by the underachieving New York Knicks in December 2011. In his first twenty-three games, he played only fifty-five total minutes and was close to being cut again. Then, on February 4, 2012, with the Knick decimated by injury, he came off the bench against the New Jersey Nets and scored 25 points, leading the Knicks to victory. He started the following game and topped that with 28 points and eight assists. Linsanity was born! Here Lin’s full story—from the playgrounds of Palo Alto to a high school championship to the Ivy League to sleeping on his brother’s couch to stardom at Madison Square Garden. As he begins the 2012-2013 reason with a new contract totaling almost $30 million for four years, his story will entertain and inspire sports fans and non-sports fans alike.

Growing up in California, it wasn’t until high school that Jeremy started to play basketball for the school team. He was an outstanding student, but he was picked on for being a skinny and weak basketball player. Just before his senior year in high school, he was chosen to attend Harvard, where he would go on to become an Ivy League player. He was signed by the Golden State Warriors, but wasn’t given much opportunity to play. At the end of 2011, he was signed by the Knicks and led them to seven straight victories, which sparked a global following that became known as Linsanity. In 2012, he signed a three–year contract with the Houston Rockets. He started the Jeremy Lin Foundation to help underprivileged kids and communities. Will Linsanity continue to unfold . . . only time will tell.

Book excerpt: Linspired reveals the remarkable journey of the ultimate underdog, Jeremy Lin, formerly of the New York Knicks, current superstar point guard of the Houston Rockets, and the first American-born player of Chinese/Taiwanese descent to play in the National Basketball Association. In spite of being cut by two NBA teams before he signed with the Knicks, Lin always trusted that God had a plan for his life and his talents. In an interview with Mike Yorkey, Lin says, "I'm not exactly sure how it is all going to turn out, but I know for a fact that God has called me to be here now in the NBA.” After weeks of sitting at the end of the bench, a teammate’s injury finally placed Lin on the court. Since then, he has captivated sports fans throughout the world with his tremendous skill and humble response to all the acclaim. Weighing in on this phenomenon are tennis’s Michael Chang, the first notable Asian-American athlete, Lin’s pastor, Stephen Chen, and Pat Williams, senior vice president of the Orlando Magic. Other features include eight pages of full-color photos and in-depth interviews with Lin himself, as well as an entirely new chapter detailing Jeremy’s move to the Rockets.
