Jeremy Lin: Bay Area Native Making It Big Time!

Who is Jeremy Lin? Even if you DON’T follow NBA basketball at all, you’ve probably heard about this guy by now given the fact that EVERYBODY in the Bay is talking about him. He DID play for Palo Alto High School after all. And now they’re calling him the greatest thing to happen to sports in a long time…

This Palo Alto High School grad has been so on fire for the NY Knicks in the last couple of weeks that they have signed him for the rest of the year.

This man is making the entire Bay Area proud while making NBA history at the same time…just believe.
