Jeremy Lin’s Year in Videos
In honor of the point guard’s birthday, a visual recap of all things Linsanity.
Twenty-three was a big year for Jeremy Lin. In mere months, the point guard rose from an overlooked D-League player to an MSG star to an international phenomenon to a Houston Rocket, and he cashed in on his improbable, if not absolutely amazing, 26-game stretch to the tune of $25 million. Today he turns 24. In honor of his born day and the wild year that was, we’re taking you through a Linsanity video montage: It kicks off with Lin’s first points in a Knicks uni, and goes through his surreal success, the explosion of hype, his injury and his eventual departure to the Houston Rockets. Check it out below.—Leo Sepkowitz
