I've been catching Lin highlights on SportsCenter over the past week and watched my first game last night. It was after this play that I officially became a fan. According to Wikipedia, he's a devout Chrisitian with aspirations to become a pastor:
Lin grew up in a devout Christian family and would one day like to be a pastor who can head up non-profit organizations, either home or abroad. He has also talked of working in inner-city communities to help with underprivileged children. - Wikipedia
He has an interesting story - didn't receive an athletic scholarship out of high school, attended Harvard where he tore it up, and then went undrafted in the NBA draft. He's no doubt a budding star ...



He started getting his first significant minutes 3 games ago and Knicks are now riding a 3 game win streak... granted, the opponents were pretty weak. His stat line is impressive - HoF caliber:
