Lin's career path was a great story even before becoming a champion. After breaking into the league with the Warriors in 2010, he became the talk of the NBA during the 2011 season when "Linsanity" spread like wildfire. Lin then played for four different teams over the ensuing six seasons, before joining the Atlanta Hawks at the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
Lin then signed with the Raptors after being waived by the Hawks in February and appeared in 23 regular-season and eight playoff games for Toronto.
