Linsanity began when Jeremy Lin appeared seemingly out of nowhere and jumped onto basketball's biggest stage.
After getting skipped over in the 2010 NBA Draft and amassing 340 unremarkable career minutes in 38 NBA games, Lin took New York by storm when he took control of Mike D'Antoni's offense and helped the Knicks reel off seven straight wins, averaging 24.4 points and 9.1 assists during the streak.
But the reality is that Jeremy Lin was there all along, albeit working on smaller platforms. He won a state championship is high school, before moving onto Harvard where be became the first player in Ivy League history to compile 1,450 career points, 450 rebounds, 400 assists and 200 steals.
