Instead he walked on to Harvard&#8217;s basketball team and played all four years.<\/p>\n<p>Lin wasn&#8217;t drafted into the NBA. He <strong>earned a spot<\/strong> on the Golden State Warriors squad for the 2011 season, but he <strong>didn&#8217;t play<\/strong> and they <strong>cut him<\/strong> on the first day of training camp this season.  The Houston Rockets picked him up and let him play a few minutes in two preseason games and then <strong>cut him<\/strong> again.  The Knicks then picked him up to start the season but quickly <strong>sent him down to the D-League<\/strong> and he was only recalled because two other Knicks&#8217; point guards were hurt.<\/p>\n<p>He was given a chance to play coming off the bench against the New Jersey Nets on Feb. 4th and scored 25 points. In the next four games he set an NBA record by scoring 109 points in his first four starts in the the league.<\/p>\n<p>He has since graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, hit a game winning 3 pointer against the Raptors and dropped 38 on Kobe and the Lakers.
