HomeComing- Jeremy Lin

Jeremy Lin and his parents during his signing with the Golden state Warriors
Jeremy Lin is a brand new player to the NBA who has already generated a great amount of hype  while playing in the 2010 NBA Summer League. Jeremy Lin was born on August 23, 1998 and is of Taiwanese decent. He has played basketball ever since he was little and started his career off by playing for Palo Alto High school. During his senior year, he got the award for the Division II player of the year and was signed to Harvard. He played at Harvard for 4 years and after his first year, his stats began to blow up. He lead Harvard to a great record and ended his senior year averaging 16 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 steals per game. In 2010, he was not drafted to the NBA, but was invited to play in the summer league.

After sensational play in the summer league, and showing up star guard John Wall, The Golden State Warriors signed Jeremy Lin. This is very ironic because he was originally from the Bay Area, and now he is coming back. Many people call him humble because he had a choice to go to other teams, but chose those Warriors because he wanted to be back home. He is one of the few new players that I am looking forward to this year because of his versatility as a basketball player and because he is the first Asian-American in the NBA. I think that he will get a decent amount of minutes in the NBA and that he will be a crowd pleaser because he was in the summer league. Expect Jeremy to have some great moments during his freshman year in the NBA. Welcome Home!!

    Very good Daniel. Good info, cited, pictures add depth. Try to include direct links to other sites about basketball, features in papers and magazines, and b-ball critics or blogs. Might be some videos you could tag as well. I like your tone, but there are a few errors in grammar and punctuation. Keep up the good work. Thus far: A-

    One of the best posts I've read thus far! The information was accurate and seemed to be researched in depth. The style of writing was very entertaining and the last sentence of "Welcome home!" was a nice touch. I can't wait to see Jeremy Lin in action. Getting drafted for the Golden State Warriors is a big accomplishment, but having playing time is an even bigger one! Goodluck Jeremy!

    Wow, the Warriors are looking pretty strong this year! If they could pull out a winning streak with all these rookies, I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to playoffs. Lin is a very talented player with a strong background and his choice to come back home shows just how humble he is.
