Linsanity On Fire



  Now in the whole Sport world there is a guy who is on fire right now and his name is Jeremy Lin. He is an Taiwanese American NBA player who play for the New York Knicks. Right now he is currently in a starting point guard position, and he is the real NBA Cinderella story player. He work really hard just to get to the top, and he graduated from Harvard University. He is one of the best educated person in the NBA. He make Harvard into their best record ever in the history of that school in basketball. He was rejected from his dream school Stanford and join Harvard while he graduated he join the NBA draft and was no drafted. So the Dallas Mavericks take him into the D-league and let him play for them there. He work so hard and finally got into the NBA and join the Golden State Warriors. While there he was only on the bench for a long time and hardly get to play. He was then drafted to the Houston Rockets and never get to play so he was draft again to the New York Knick. All those happen in 18 days, so it hit him really hard and think about quitting the NBA. But his will allow him to continue and stay in the NBA. He need to stay in New York but he have no place to stay so he need to stay at his partner's couch. The day after he stay at his friend's couch he score his best career high 28 points. After that he went on a 7 game win streak which allow the whole NBA to be crazy for Jeremy Lin. He also beat Kobe Bryant and out score him with 38 point in his career high. He went on fire and was really famous in the sport world!
   I think that this is a great thing because it prove that Asian people can play ball and can be good at it. It breaks the stereotype of the world against Asian people on playing sports. It also show the world that if you work hard you will get what you wanted and if you work really hard your dreams will come true. Jeremy Lin is alot of people's idol because he prove alot of people wrong and he lighten himself up, and he is a pride to everyone!
