Underdogs and Overachievers
By AJ Beson
I’ve never thought of someone from Harvard as the underdog. But that is exactly the story playing out in basketball right now. Being a Harvard alum typically means belonging to the elite crème de la crème – the movers and shakers of our world – the CEOs who run companies, cities, states and countries. But this overreaching, alpha dog mentality doesn’t necessarily apply to those Harvard grads who pursue the business of basketball. Jeremy Lin is the Cinderella story of the NBA this week. As a Harvard graduate, he was an undrafted player who happened to get picked up by the New York Knicks. Due to the injuries of the team’s two major players, Lin had a chance to shine. He’s scored 20 points and has had seven assists for six games straight. Lin is an unlikely underdog in the national limelight who is serving as an inspiration in a league who could use a Cinderella story right now. Who are some unexpected underdogs you’ve been inspired by?
