I really like this article. Instead of just prolonging the hype, it goes into a bit more detail on how Jeremy Lin got to this point. All my coaching brethren should get inspiration here, as I did, from the instances where he sought out teachers and coaches on how to do it right and practicing deliberately on the parts of his game that was lacking. Granted, he had to be talented to begin with but he had a lot of weaknesses to overcome. This is a guy that came with the right attitude, thirst for knowledge, and desire to win that makes coaches glad to work with him.
