Lin helped pave the way for his Harvard team to become nationally0ranked for the first time in its history. After going undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft, Lin tirelessly worked his way into the NBA and set the world on fire in 2012 with his play, launching "Linsanity." He is currently in his eighth season in the league. / Jeremy's faith in God has guided his entire career. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9" |
