Linsanity didn’t last nearly long enough.
Jeremy Lin came to the NBA from Harvard, where, he played for former Duke star and assistant Tommy Amaker.
Harvard is not exactly famous for producing pro talent, to say the least.
Lin’s father came to the US from Taiwan with a fully developed love for NBA Basketball and Lin inherited that, along with a good bit of talent.
He didn't get off to a fast start in the NBA when he arrived in 2010, but in 2012, New York put him in the starting lineup and magic began to happen.
