On July 20th, 2010, Jeremy Lin was signed by the Golden State Warriors. After being undrafted coming out of Harvard University, Lin dazzled in the NBA summer leagues, including going toe to toe with the NBA’s 2010 first pick, John Wall in a summer league game against the warriors.. Thanks to his exciting and ferocious play in 5 games, Jeremy Lin became a fan favorite even before having an official NBA team. This, for more reasons than the average NBA fan would understand, matters.
