Behind the scenes with Jeremy Lin

Before Jeremy Lin was assigned to the NBA D-League, he did a couple videos with the Golden State Warriors. In the first video, he gives a tour of his Bay Area high school (Palo Alto High School) and reminisces on his journey from Palo Alto to Harvard to professional basketball. As he roams the halls of his old stomping ground, he talks about the influences of his coaches. Up to this point in his young basketball career, his top three moments are: winning the state championship in high school, defeating top ranked Boston College at Harvard, and signing with the Golden State Warriors. In the second video, he sits down with Warriors broadcaster Tim Roye for an interview to discusses his transition to the NBA. Not only is he adapting to the change of pace with the NBA, but he’s also learning to adjust to his role as a point guard. His defensive skills are ahead of his offensive skills, which still needs some development. Jeremy Lin also talks about this pre-game routine. Watch the videos for some great insights from Jeremy Lin.
