This is a very interesting and inspiring read. Jeremy Lin was undrafted in the NBA. When he finally landed with the warriors, he barely played any of the games and was having a rough time with it. Then he was traded to the New York Knicks and he was the biggest star in the league. He was even named player of the week for two weeks in a row! Jeremey Lin's story is an inspiration to everyone and I would highly recommend it. I am very inspired by this book and I think that it has helped me overcome some of the obstacles that sometimes get in my way. I think that the writing was very good and well thought out. I also really liked this book because I love to play and watch basketball.

Jeremy Lin is a star basketball player. In the beggining, Jeremy's father introduced basketball to his three sons. The family would always do basketball when they could. Jeremy was smart too. He went to Harvard. Jeremy was a hard working player. The NBA team he went to was the Warriors. Even though Jeremy was happy, he didn't play very much. Later he went to another called the Knicks. The Knicks weren't doing good. They were losing too many games. Then Jeremy did very good. Becuase of him the Knicks seemed unbeatable.
The reason why I liked this book is because it showed the life of a person who never gave up. The reason why Jeremy Lin was so good is because he would always work hard. I think that there are a lot of people who wish they were Jeremy Lin. People would say that he was Lin-credible.
