23 Year-old Point Guard

23 Year Old Point Guard
The most surreal weeks in NBA history...
An undrafted reserve with the knicks.
Since being recalled from the organizations development league.
The 23 year-old point guard had been crashing on the brown couch in josh`s one bedroom.
Lost two jobs in a 15 day span this winter.
When josh played junior varsity hoops, there was Jeremy.
When josh`s gunn high team completed conditioning drills, there was Jeremy again
Clinging to his league minimum contract, which was not yet guaranteed.
Jeremy returned from a win over the nets to resume his tenancy on Josh`s furniture
His world would be upside down...
 
Five games, five wins for the foundering knicks.
The whole thing has been overwhelming for me and my family.
He came off the bench and crossed over the nets` Deron Williams
Earned him his first career start.
That was lin, facing down Bryant and grinning, with his 38 points.
Lin sank a game-wining free-throw with 4.9 left.
The last time he`d achieved such perfection was as a ninth-grader, when he aced the sat II.
There were not a lot of believers
Hundreds of incoming text messages assaulting his phone after every game.
 
Regression is coming, eventually. It must.
Melo and Amar`e are there to take the ball out of his hands and he goes through teams.
We will see what he really is.
How vocal lin has been with vets such as chandler, grabbing jerseys and yelling across the court.
Hes been more dominant in the NBA then he ever was in college.
Now that his NBA contract was guaranteed for the minimum $788,872 on Feb 7.
He`ll surrender his spot on the now-mythical couch and pick out an apartment.
Jeremy Lin is here, and he`s already home.
