Editorial: Lin rocks the Big Apple Sports, posted by Editor, Palo Alto Online, on Feb 17, 2012 at 10:58 am
Local basketball fans haven't had this much to talk about since Jeremy Lin helped Palo Alto High School win the state championship in 2006, knocking off a favored team that included a 7-foot-1-inch center and three starters who had signed for Division 1 schools, including Duke.

It should be noted that Jeremy Lin's shooting coach is Doc Scheppler, head women's basketball coach at Pinewood School, who has a long string of women's basketball titles and state championships under his belt and his known for training "underdogs" to be winners. Diepenbrock is getting all the credit and limelight, and he should for Lin's time at Paly, but most recently it is Doc Scheppler who has improved Lin's shooting game in the most recent off-season, not Diepenbrock. That said, the credit belongs to Jeremy Lin for believing in himself and not giving up!!

Only three new threads on Jeremy today???
Slow day, I suppose....
Best of luck to J Lin, wish he was still with the Dubs. Steph/Monta with back up by J Lin/Klank Thompson would be sweet. Phenominal change of pace and styles.
Even ten minutes a game of J Lin at 1 with Steph at the off guard would be awesome.
If only we could ever find a center.
That's the only reason Lin was let go. Trying to replace Andris. Ugh.

What a great kid! He's got a good head on his shoulders and will continue to be an awesome role-model for youth. It was my pleasure having gotten to know him at PALY and an even greater honor to still occasionally keep in touch. He played badminton in the "off-season".
Our families parallel in that we're both a band of three brothers, speaking of which, both Josh and Joe are just as highly regarded. Best of luck to him.

I truly admire Jeremy's work ethic, perseverance and unwavering faith in God. He is an excellent role model for our kids. He has also handled all of the publicity (both positive and negative) with class.
One question... I heard that Jeremy's parents are both 5’6”. How did Jeremy get so tall?! As a parent of young kids, I’d love to know.

@Korean American - wow, that's the first I'd heard Lin played on the badminton team at Paly. You sure about that? If so, a) I think that makes him the first badminton player to ever play in the NBA, yet another first; and b) it'd be interesting to find out if Lin credits badminton with the betterment of any of his hoops skills?
