Jeremy Lin puts ‘heart on the line’ and faith in his NBA dream
- Linsanity star tells fans in live Q&A about the toughest decision to leave China and ‘if there’s anything I want to be it’s authentic’
- ‘Now I’m an old man where I have to ice my knees and do all these stretches before and after my workouts,’ he says
“Not everything is always amazing and pretty and sexy in terms of my career or anybody’s career,” Jeremy Lin told his social media followers in an Instagram Live Q&A.
Speaking from his home in Palo Alto, California, Lin answered fan questions in a follow-up to the “sharing” he did on Taiwan’s GOOD TV and his own social media platforms on Saturday night.
“I felt like I needed to put my heart on the line and tell the story of what I went through,” Lin explained before answering questions.
“At my age, I just finished my 10th year of professional basketball, I’m like, hey look, if there’s anything I want to be it’s authentic. I want to say what’s on my mind, I want to share what I’m going through.
After a season in China with the Beijing Ducks, Lin has decided to take another shot at the NBA – a year on from not being offered any contracts during free agency and describing himself at “rock bottom”.
