Episode 6: Jeremy Lin — The Point Guard Nobody Expected

Before the world called it Linsanity, Jeremy Lin was just another overlooked kid from Palo Alto, a California High School Player of the Year with no Division I offers, no combine buzz, and no reason scouts should’ve ignored him… except stereotype. This episode dives into the rise of an undrafted guard who outplayed expectations, shattered cultural barriers, and ignited Madison Square Garden like few ever have. From Harvard to the Knicks, from being waived to becoming a global phenomenon, Lin’s story isn’t just about basketball, it’s about belonging, perseverance, and proving that talent doesn’t come with a label. Featuring special commentary from Burt Chen, Joe Randoms Correspondent, on how Lin’s story redefined what was possible for Asian American athletes and inspired a generation of fans who finally saw themselves on the court.
