Jeremy Lin feels NBA has ‘given up’ on him as he opens up about free agency and hitting ‘rock bottom’ in tear-filled interview on Taiwan TV
- Audience applauds former Toronto Raptor as he breaks down in tears in frank interview on Christian channel
- Ex-Atlanta Hawks teammate Trae Young backs Lin to bounce back
Jeremy Lin has revealed he is finding his current period of free agency difficult in an interview in Taiwan.
The NBA champion and committed Christian appeared on Taiwan’s Christian television channel Good TV’s The Waiting Game and he did not hold back on his feelings.
“Free agency came around and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Lin said in English. “Good luck translating it,” he said to the Mandarin translator.
Lin has been a free agent since leaving the Toronto Raptors after winning the NBA championship with them in early June.
He is in Taiwan as part of his annual Asia tour where he has coached children’s clinics, attended promotional events and increasingly opened up about his future.Lin said that he did not want to come to Asia this summer.
“To be honest, I didn’t want to come because I have to face everyone with a smile every day. I want to share the feeling of the championship. In fact, I don't feel that I deserve it. I share one. I don't know if it is the future I want, I feel very shameful."
