Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin might be having a hard time landing the two available spots in the backcourt of the Western Conference All-Star starters, but his recent shoe deal with Adidas along with increasing popularity in and outside the United States made him already full-fledged superstar in the NBA.

Lin, who is averaging just 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 rebounds per game in his second season with the Rockets, might not be putting up All-Star worthy numbers - primarily because of his sixth man role and his function as a ball distributor in a team loaded with scorers - but his fanbase has grown dramatically ever since Linsanity was born in the heart of New York.

Moreover, Lin has been in the top-5 in All-Star balloting of the Western Conference backcourt starters over the last two seasons. This year, the former undrafted player garnered more than 470,000 votes behind the likes of Chris Paul (650,000), Stephen Curry (677,000), and Kobe Bryant (844,000).

In addition, Jeremy also starred in documentary film titled Linsanity which narrated his rise from obscurity and deep relationship with God as he takes on several challenges not only in his basketball career, but his life.

Without a doubt, Lin has come a long way just to become a legitimate NBA player. His hardwork, dedication and faith to God have catapulted him to stardom he never imagined before. Now, Lin is a surefire bonifide superstar, a star every Asian-American should be proud of.
