Jeremy Lin’s story is almost too Hollywood to be true.
Mired with adversity throughout his amateur basketball
career, he was confronted with numerous obstacles as
he aimed to achieve his dream of becoming a professional
NBA basketball player. Lin was always a strong player
but his skill was often over-looked. Although he led his
California high school team to a state championship,
he never received a scholarship offer from a major
university. Then, despite having a stellar collegiate
career, he wasn’t drafted by the NBA. Finally, bucking
the odds and down to his last chance, Lin reluctantly
accepted a try-out with the floundering New York Knicks
and finally got his big break during the 2012 NBA season.
He immediately had a huge impact in the league and
found himself in the lofty ranks of NBA superstars.
Overnight, he had become a massive international sports
celebrity. Linsanity provides a remarkable look at how
this ultimate under-dog seized the day. It’s a heart-warming
tale about never giving up on your dream and is a film
that even non-basketball fans will embrace.
