Jeremy Lin announced his retirement from professional basketball via Instagram on Saturday night.'It's been the honor of a lifetime to compete against the fiercest competitors under the brightest lights and to challenge what the world thought was possible for someone who looks like me,' he wrote. 'I've lived out my wildest childhood dreams to play in front of fans all around the world. I will forever be the kid who felt fully alive every time I touched a basketball.'
Lin is a nine-year NBA veteran. After going undrafted in 2010, the point guard began his career with the Golden State Warriors, playing in 29 games as a rookie. However, he rose to prominence during his second NBA season as a member of the New York Knicks.
Famously, Lin had an 11-game stretch, dubbed 'Linsanity', in which he averaged 23.9 points and 9.2 assists while leading the Knicks to a 9-2 record. That included a career-high 38-point performance against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Across his NBA career, Lin averaged 11.6 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.1 steals. He had stints with the Warriors, Knicks, Houston Rockets, Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, and Toronto Raptors. He won an NBA title in 2019 with the Raptors.
