Back in 2012, Jeremy Lin was one of the most famous basketball players in the entire world.

At the time, he was just 23-years-old, and he came out of nowhere averaging 14.6 points and 6.2 assists per contest for the New York Knicks.

There was a stretch of nine games where Lin averaged over 25 points and nine assists per contest, and led the Knicks to an 8-1 record.

He became an absolute sensation, while also playing for a team that played at the most famous arena in the world (Madison Square Garden).

Lin went on to have a solid NBA career, and he last played in the league during the 2019 season when he was on the Toronto Raptors who won the NBA Championship.

Recently, the 34-year-old announced that he is signing with he Guangzhou Loong Lions of the CBA (h/t Hoops Rumors and Hoops Hype).
