Jeremy
Lin became the buzz on February this year as he led New York Knicks to several
wins with his moves. This is when the “Linsanity” craze started. This Harvard
graduate is the first American Chinese/Taiwanese to play on NBA. Earlier this
summer, Lin bid farewell to his former team as he signed a contract to his new
team, the Houston Rockets. This is something that usually happens on this
sport. Basketball players may go from one team to another. However, some fans
may find it saddening to see one of their favorite players leave their favorite
team. This is what 5 year old Naim felt when Lin moved to another team.

Jeremy
Lin’s Response
It
may be heartbreaking for the kid to learn that his hero is leaving his favorite
team. But it sure made him happy when the basketball star expressed that he
wanted to chat with him through Skype. Lin is not just any famous personality.
He also has a big heart taking time and effort to reach out to this kid and
hopefully remove his sadness. The boy may be a bit shy talking to Lin on their
Skype chat, but it is something that he would never forget. This is a dream
come true especially for a little kid. It’s not everyday that he gets to talk
to his idol. Other Lin fanatics would definitely want to get the chance to chat
with him too. So even though he felt unhappy with Lin’s change of team, the
fact that he was able to chat with him is worth a thousand smiles.

Lin
played basketball on his high school and college years. He was determined to
play the sport professionally. He played on various leagues before being hired
as a backup player for New York Knicks. He didn’t play for the team before the
“Linsanity” period but he continued to work hard to improve his game. He would
arrive at the practice early and be the last one to leave. He strived to become
better though he wasn’t given the opportunity to shine. The management of the
team was actually planning on removing him from the team before he reached the
date of having his contract guaranteed. Because of bad plays and injuries of
the team, they took a gamble on Lin, and it all paid off. He had an injury on
March, which caused him to miss the remaining games of the season. Lin signed a
three year contract with Houston Rockets, which earns him millions of dollars.
