Suddenly, desperation became Coach D’Antoni’s nighttime state of mind. The Knicks had lost eleven of their thirteen previous games and seemed to be headed nowhere fast. Seeking help from anywhere in the team’s recesses, he found Jeremy. It wasn’t an easy find, mind you. A little review here is appropriate. The Houston Rockets picked Jeremy up on December 9, 2011, and waived him again on December 24, 2011, due to the lockout.

The Knicks claimed Jeremy off waivers on December 27, 2011, when their guard, Iman Shumpert, was injured. Other injuries in their starting lineup kept Jeremy’s upward momentum alive, from his initial fourth spot on the Knicks’ point guard depth chart.

On January 23, 2012, D’Antoni called for Jeremy, who returned instantly from the D-league where he had been waiting. No one can say for sure if D’Antoni knew that Jeremy was born (August 23, 1988) in what the Chinese calendar refers to as the Year of the Dragon. In 2012, the Year of Dragon officially started on January 23, 2012. To those who are familiar with this traditional calendar, they will tell you that if your year starts out with good luck, it will end similarly.

Jeremy’s first game was on February 4 against the New Jersey Nets. His 25 points and 7 assists in that game assured him a place in the starting lineup. Three days later, his contract was guaranteed for the remainder of this season. It is said to be between $600,000 and $800,000. It also assured Jeremy of his own place to call home, as he had been camping on his brother’s couch at the time of his first on-court appearance in New York.

This was the start of a seven-game winning streak for the Knicks and the start of Jeremy’s NBA career. Each game, thus far, deserves comment, as one enduring characteristic surfaces time and again: Jeremy’s ability to sink the shots that matter in the final seconds of play.
