Jeremy Lin, who was not selected in the 2010 NBA Draft, averaged 11.6 points and 4.3 assists, including a turbulent stint with the Knicks in 2012.
In a touching Instagram post, former NBA point guard Jeremy Lin announced his retirement from the game.
“It’s been the honor of a lifetime to compete against the fiercest competitors under the brightest lights and to challenge what the world thought was possible for someone who looks like me,” he wrote. “I’ve lived out my wildest childhood dreams to play in front of fans all around the world. I will forever be the kid who felt fully alive every time I touched a basketball.”
In his nine-year NBA career from 2010 to 2019, Lin averaged 11.6 points and 4.3 assists. While playing with the New York Knicks in 2011–12, he shot to international prominence, averaging 24.6 points, 9.2 assists, and 4.1 rebounds across 11 games in February. The startling stretch was dubbed “Linsanity.”
After spending brief time with the Lakers, Hornets, Nets, Hawks, and Raptors, Lin spent the next two seasons in Houston as a full-time starting point guard. In addition, he played for teams in the NBA G League, Taiwan Professional Basketball League, and Chinese Basketball Association.
