Jeremy Shu-How Lin (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 2010 Harvard University graduate reached a partially guaranteed contract deal later that year with his hometown Golden State Warriors. In February 2012, he unexpectedly led a winning streak by New York while being promoted to the starting lineup. Lin is one of the few Asian Americans in NBA history, and the first American player in the league to be of Chinese or Taiwanese descent. (from Wikipedia).
From a Chinese perspective, Lin is the perfect example of outstanding and successful. He's smart, hardworking, and humble. He went to Harvard, which is the dream school for almost every one of Chinese students. He plays in NBA and had such a legendary performance. And yet, he's very low-key person, he never show off or be very satisfied with what he has achieved. He's also a very humorous guy. This video of him "how to get into Harvard" is viewed by thousands of people online.
I hope that he can keep playing well and create more legends as a Asian NBA player! I believe he will make us very proud!!! Go Lin!!!!
