What makes this Buzzer beater different from all the rest?
Because Jeremy Lin was ignored by at least 2 different NBA teams and spent an enormous time in obscurity in the D-league before being given 1 chance by the New York Knicks.
No, he’s not Carmelo.
His name isn’t Amare Stoudamire.
He’s Jeremy Lin. A guy who has tried for years to get in the NBA, couldn’t do it, and now is on an unbelievable 5 game stretch that ends with him being Conference player of the week.
It takes you a long time sometimes to reach your goals. But when you’re given the chance, GO WITH IT.
Here’s to perseverance, faith in oneself and never ever giving up on one’s dream no matter how bleak it seems, no matter how many “no’s” you get and no matter what others (haters) say. You might get 13 no’s. I say fight until you get 13,000 no’s.
Keep dreaming. Keep fighting. And remember, it’s not what it looks like. Even if it looks over, IT IS NOT OVER.
Whatever race or nationality he is, he has proven himself to be a great basketball player.
Agreed! The bravery of this kid is outstanding!
