During his first few years in the NBA, Lin made a name for himself, earning the nickname &#8220;Linsanity&#8221; from his performance as point guard with the New York Knicks in the 2012 NBA playoffs. That same year, he landed a cover on Sports Illustrated and was named Breakthrough Player of the Year at the ESPY Awards. In 2019, Lin won an NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors. After finally winning a championship, Lin announced that he would be retiring from basketball in December 2022 after playing one season in the Chinese Basketball Association.<\/p>\n<p>The athlete regularly shares his faith on his large platforms, detailing how his faith has helped him get through tough times throughout his career. In 20187, Lin suffered a severe knee injury, making him miss the entire 2017-2018 NBA season, but Lin remained faithful during the injury. &#8220;There is a lot of delving into God&#8217;s promises that there is a perfect plan, that I need to just continue to be faithful and worry about what I can control&#8230;I do feel like I&#8217;m in God&#8217;s favor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"message-from\" data-click-type=\"ads-native\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian former NBA player, Jeremy Lin, recently announced in a lengthy Facebook post that he has been married for the past two years. &#8220;After many years of being together, I married my wife in an intimate ceremony and it&#8217;s been the highlight of my life ever since.
