What is Jeremy Lin’s net worth?

Jeremy Lin is a past American professional basketball player who has a net worth of $36 million. He spent the last part of his career playing with the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association.

His former NBA teams were the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, Atlanta Hawks, and Charlotte Hornets. Among Lin’s achievements is the fact that she was the first American of Asian descent to play in the NBA and take home a championship.

After teammate Baron Davis’ injury in 2012, Lin received his big opportunity to start for the Knicks. He then led the Knicks to 7 straight victories, starting a phenomenon known in sports as “Linsanity.”

Childhood

Jeremy Lin was born in 1988 in Torrance, California, and was brought up in the Bay Area in Palo Alto. Shirley and Gie-ming, Taiwanese immigrants who arrived in the country in the 1970s, lived in Virginia for a while before moving to Indiana to pursue college.

Josh and Joseph are Lin’s older and younger brothers, respectively. At the neighborhood YMCA, their father taught all three of them how to play basketball. Lin also played in a National Junior Basketball league that his mother worked to set up.

When Lin was a senior at Palo Alto High School, his basketball team won the Division II state championship with a 32-1 record under his leadership. For his accomplishments, he was named first-team All-State and Northern California Division II Player of the Year.

College Career

Lin wanted to enroll at the nearby Stanford University, but he was unable to since the institution wouldn’t provide him with a scholarship. By his junior year, Lin was the only NCAA Division I men’s basketball player in his conference to be ranked in the top ten in terms of scoring, assists, and steals, among other metrics.

He was subsequently chosen unanimously for the All-Ivy League First Team. He again received a unanimous nomination for the same distinction during his senior year. When Lin scored a career-high 30 points against the Connecticut Huskies, he received widespread notice.

He was the first player in the Ivy League to complete his undergraduate career with at least 1,450 points and 450 rebounds.

Career

Lin eventually signed with his hometown Golden State Warriors in 2010 after being passed over for the draft. He didn’t play much, though, in his debut year; instead, he was given responsibilities in the NBA Development League.

Lin was released by the Warriors in late 2011 and was then claimed by the Houston Rockets. He was released by the Rockets after appearing for seven minutes in two preseason games in Houston.

In time for the 2011–12 NBA season, Lin joined the New York Knicks. He initially participated in limited team activities before being reassigned to the Erie Bay Hawks of the NBA D-League.

However, Lin was given the opportunity to start for the Knicks at the beginning of 2012, and he went on to guide the team to a seven-game winning run. In 2014, Lin was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. He was able to shoot a career-high 36.9% from three-point range during the season.

He struggled with coach Byron Scott’s offense, though, and his position on the squad was essentially uncertain. Later, in July 2015, Lin agreed to a two-year contract with the Charlotte Hornets.

In a game against the Raptors in December, he scored a season-high 35 points, capping out a productive season with the franchise. The season was over as the Miami Heat defeated the Charlotte Hornets in the first round of the playoffs.

Lin committed to the Brooklyn Nets for three years in July of that year. After being acquired by the Atlanta Hawks in a trade in 2018, Lin was supposed to serve as Trae Young’s mentor. But the Hawks released Lin at the start of 2019. His signing with the Toronto Raptors came quickly, but he had some early difficulties.

Despite being somewhat hindered by his previous knee injury, Lin recovered to lead the Raptors to the NBA Finals. Lin became the first player of Asian ancestry to win an NBA championship when the team defeated the Warriors in the final game of the series, which went six games.

Lin joined the Beijing Ducks of the CBA in August of this year. He averaged 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists by the time his rookie season was over. Lin played for the G-Santa League’s Cruz Warriors in the off-season before making his way back to the NBA.

Salary And Contracts

Jeremy Lin was playing out the second year of a two-year deal with the New York Knicks in 2012 when “Linsanity” first began. The deal had originally been signed by the Golden State Warriors.

After the 2012–13 campaign, Lin was a restricted free agent, which allowed him to accept offers from other teams but gave the Knicks the option to counter them.

Until recently, NBA players with two years of experience were only qualified to receive offers of $5 million in their third season of competition; however, after that, the odds were completely open.

He ultimately decided to sign a contract with the Houston Rockets, for whom he played from 2012 to 2014, before being traded to the Lakers, then the Hornets, the Nets, and the Raptors.

Endorsement

The initial sum was not considered because Jeremy Lin joined the Golden State Warriors as a relatively unknowing player when he inked his contract with Nike.

Lin will not receive any direct gain from selling of his jersey in the NBA, which is a shame. Teams and players are equally split and shared in the league’s income. The league’s top-selling jersey at his height was worn by Jeremy.
