Jeremy Lin – Bio, Height, Weight, Girlfriend, Married, Wife, Brother, Family
Anyone who followed the 2012 American basketball season would be familiar with the slang “Linsanity”. A name coined after Taiwanese-American basketball player Jeremy Lin. That year he played as a point guard for Harvard University and recorded the most outstanding performance in the school’s basketball history. Later, Lin surprisingly never made it as a draftee, but was later promoted to the National Basketball Association (NBA) D-League, from where he worked his way up on various teams.
Records state that the basketball player is the first Taiwanese-American player to ever sign up with an NBA team. Despite being an uncalled agent, he’s been making headlines since his remarkable performance in 2012 and has also been one of the basketball stars who are attracting traffic on search engines. We assume that you are one of them. So let’s meet up with Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin’s bio
The basketball player was born and named JeremyShu-How Lin on August 23, 1988. Going by his name, he is undeniably of Asian ethnicity as being of Taiwanese-American descent. He was born in Torrance City, California and most of his childhood memories were captured in the suburbs. He later moved to the city of Palo Alto in San Francisco with his Christian family. Everyone who has come into contact with the basketball player has highlighted a basic fact that he flaunts his belief in God and is an easy going guy.
For his education, Jeremy Lin enrolled at PaloAlto High School, where he was an active member of the school’s basketball team, and as a senior he managed his teammates. He was also named Northern California Player of the Year. He later continued his studies at the University of Harvard.
During his college days, he was undoubtedly a well-stocked player hoping to make his way into the NBA and seriously pursue a professional career. However, it turned out to be the other way around for him, as neither team drafted the American-Taiwanese in the 2010 NBA draft. Jeremy didn’t have the strength and stamina to defend, take shots, or make finishing plays. All of these are important attributes for his position in the NBA.
During his career in the NBA, after his 2010-2011 season with the Warriors, Jeremy Lin played for the New York Knicks (2011-2012), Houston Rockets (2012-2014), Los Angeles Lakers (2014-2015), Charlotte Hornets (2015-2016) and Brooklyn Nets (2016-2018) and most recently the Atlanta Hawks. Despite this, his career has gone well over the years, unlike when he started.
family, parents and brother
Lin Gie-Ming and Shirley Lin are the parents of the basketball star. His parents are immigrants from Taiwan who moved to the United States sometime in the 1970’s and settled in the beautiful state of Virginia before finally moving to Indiana. Both of them had their university education there. After living in the States for a long time, they acquired citizenship through naturalization.
Jeremy Lin’s paternal parent is linked to the Hoklo people of Beidou, Changhua, while his maternal parents are said to have immigrated to Taiwan, are originally from Pinghu, Zhejiang in China.
The basketball player has other siblings; an older brother named Josh, who practices dentistry, and a younger brother named Joseph, who played for the Fubon Braves; a Taiwanese basketball club site.
Gie-Ming taught his boys the tactics of the game of basketball and was also their first coach. He took his time and educated them at the local court of the Young Men Christain Association where they lived. From Shirley’s side, she is described as a woman who understands and supports her husband. While training the boys, Gie made time to work with coaches. She was always on the lookout for her boys and made sure they achieved academic excellence as well.
As they say, climbing the ladder of success Shirley wasn’t easy to achieve and was much criticized by her friends for seeing her making Jeremy Lin spend time playing basketball as stupidity. Today we all know that history has changed because Jeremy not only made it to the top, but is a man whose name rings a bell in the NBA.
Woman – Is he married or does he have a girlfriend?
The basketball player always puts God in everything. He once spoke about his type of woman in an interview. According to him, his baby must be God knowing and practicing Christain. He also said that she must have a charitable heart.
Currently, no one knows the marital status of basketball players. There are no details of his girlfriend or his sexuality. Sometime in 2012, Alek Blankenau, who was his former teammate and friend, told the crew in an interview with GQ that Jeremy was in a relationship with a lady at the time.
In 2013, the world got a shocking video of a lady named Kristina Wong claiming she just married the basketball player. In the video she was all dressed up in a wedding dress and had her bridesmaid train, ironically there was no groom. After much back-and-forth, Jeremy Lin denied ever being involved. It was later found out that said lady was just his die-hard fan who claims to be in love with him.
Before the whole marital dilemma, Jeremy Lin is said to have once been in a relationship with TV personality Kim Kardashian. It later turned out to be just a joke.
height and weight
The Lin family is known for its enormous size. His parents are quite old but are currently said to stand at 5ft 6in despite the effects of age on them. According to records, his maternal grandparents are each about two meters tall. Jeremy stands at 6ft 3in with a weight of 91kg.
