The following excerpt is from Wikipedia:

"Jeremy Shu-How Lin[1] (born August 23, 1988) is an American professional basketball player with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). After receiving no athletic scholarship offers out of high school and being undrafted out of college, the 2010 Harvard University graduate reached a partially guaranteed contract deal later that year with his hometown Golden State Warriors.

Lin seldom played in his rookie season and was assigned to the NBA Development League (D-League) three times. He was waived by Golden State and the Houston Rockets the following preseason before joining the Knicks early in the 2011–12 season. He was again assigned to the D-League and continued to play sparingly. In February 2012, he unexpectedly led a winning streak by New York while being promoted to the starting lineup, which generated a global following known as Linsanity. Lin is one of the few Asian Americans in NBA history, and the first American player in the league to be of Chinese or Taiwanese descent.[2]"

I love basketball, but I was never very good at it. Last year I actually bought a basketball and shot some hoops at a park near my house. It was fun and one day I played a pick-up game against a high school kid. We played to 11. After about 10 minutes, I was winded. Then, after he beat me 11-9, I was huffing and puffing and completely out of breath. That's why now I prefer to only watch.
