Jeremy Lin Says He Spurned Millions of Dollars in Linsanity Era

[Kidbasketball20]

“If I had accepted everything, I don’t know the exact number, but I would have been making way more off the court than on the court,” said Lin, who has a $14.9 million salary in the final season of his three-year, $25 million deal. “Even the next contract after.”

We'll see this season.

'when my career is over, if I'm still talking about Linsanity, then I probably didn't do a good job with my career.'

[rezznor]

not a smart financial move. he most likely will never achieve that much popularity outside of asia again.

Its gonna happen......no offense to Jeremy hes a good person but hes completely average. He will be known for sparking the most exciting run the knicks have had in a long time but ultimately will only be known for that and being an asian NBA player

[okayabc123]

he is lucky because he is Taiwanese. The amount of money and endorsements he can get to endorse China/Taiwan brands is probably ridiculous.

Every year his weaknesses have improved


TO's and to his left after Linsanity.
3pt shooting and Ball Handling after Rox year 1.
Efficiency and 6th man ability after last year.

He'll improve his defense and leadership ability after this year with Kobe/Nash mentorship

All while posting career highs (again)

Since you're a huge Lin fan, I just wanted to ask what you think his peak season will look like?

His turnovers have gone down b/c he wasnt handling the ball as much tho and only played 35 games in 2012. His turnover% in 2013 and 2014 were the same
true but i think Harden and Dwight taking more defense attention off him has to do with it, not really improvements from him

his defense it the most impressive part of his game but its still nothing special

will you be mad when he starts this year on the all star game with kobe ?

He's known more for dropping 38pts on "all NBA defense" Kobe Bryant.

Yeah but money isn't everything, especially with someone of Lin's character.
He is set for life plus some, without selling his soul.
