Yep. I’m an Asian, and Jeremy Lin was a big reason that I got into basketball. He was the best player in California at a point in high school, and balled out at Harvard yet STILL went undrafted.
He still doesn't get any respect in the NBA. Dude has to be knocked the fuck out in order to get a foul call. He's had several bloody noses and still hasn't gotten a damn foul
I mean not getting offers better than Harvard for basketball was pretty disrespectful to his skill also, even if he did end up going to a great academic school
I'm not Asian but I went to Stanford and the fact that Stanford didn't offer him a scholarship when he had his High school career literally ACROSS THE STREET FROM STANFORD, and easily qualified to get in, pissed me off royally. What a loss. I think that was when Trent Johnson was coach. What a tool.
I mean the dude did great but playing on a more national stage like he would have with Stanford... He probably at least would have been drafted!
