Jeremy Lin championship ring

Jeremy Lin has one career championship ring, which he got when Toronto Raptors won in 2019. However, at the time, Lin had played just one game in the team's journey to ultimate success.

Speaking later about his time at Raptors, Lin told New York Times “It was already starting when I first got to Toronto, where something didn't feel right. It got to the point where, in the playoffs, I couldn't even shoot a 3-pointer because there was a small bone spur in my shooting elbow. During the playoffs, no one knew, but by the end of the finals, I could only shoot out to the free-throw line.”
