They looked at his skin color and thought he was slow.
They saw his calm demeanor and thought he was scared.
They laughed at his race and thought he couldn't ball.
Now, they are witnesses to one of the most improbable stories to take place in sports history.
How could a Harvard graduate who has been a winner all his life get passed on by so many so-called “experts” and “talent evaluators” in the NBA? Why did they make up their mind before they gave Jeremy Lin a chance to prove himself.
The answer is simple, and Perry Prince tells you why.
And when he had that chance, he became a cultural icon and inspired billions.
Lingendary details the amazing story of how Jeremy went from living on his brother’s couch to becoming the world’s top sports phenom in under 10 days.
Learn what went through his mind and how he managed to stay motivated despite being overlooked his whole life, until finally he rose to the top.
Hint: There's a mean competitive streak behind that boyish humble look.
