August 2025
Jeremy Lin has announced his retirement from professional basketball after a 15-year career that spanned the NBA, China, and Taiwan. The former Knicks guard, famed for sparking “Linsanity” in 2012, called it the hardest decision of his life.
Undrafted out of Harvard, Lin rose to global fame with the New York Knicks before stints with the Rockets, Lakers, Hornets, Nets, Hawks, and Raptors, winning an NBA title in 2019. He later played in China and Taiwan, becoming a cultural icon for Asian-American representation.
