Jeremy Lin most recently played in the NBA during the 2018-19 season when he was a member of the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors.

He finished the year with the Raptors, who won the NBA Championship over the Golden State Warriors.

The 36-year-old has continued his career overseas (in China and Taiwan).

On Sunday, Lin announced that he will re-sign with the New Taipei Kings (h/t Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype).

Lin wrote (via Instagram): "Year 15!

Re-signing w the Kings, excited for an encore w lil bro @joe_linstagram and the homies. As the saying goes, getting to the top isnt easy, staying there’s even harder. It wont be easy defending the title, but we’re excited for the challenge.Grateful to be healthy and for every year I get to play.See you all opening night @newtaipeikings #DefendTheCrown "

While Lin never became an All-Star, he is going into his 15th season of professional basketball.

In addition, he was a very reliable role player who spent nearly a decade in the NBA (and appeared in 480 regular season games and 25 playoff games).
