Jeremy Lin is a True New Yorker
Linn signed a deal with the Rockets for $30 million over the next four years – 10.2 million in the first two years and then $9.3 million each of the last two years. WOW – that’s some nice money! The Knicks can’t match the Rockets offer because NY has luxury tax. So everyone thinks that Jeremy Linn is a traitor and jerk because he is abandoning his hometown, NYC. But the truth is, Lin is a real New Yorker – he’s going for the money. And there is nothing wrong with that. Basketball stars only have a limited number of years they can play at the top of their game. Jeremy Linn needs to set himself up so he can relax when his sports career is over. News reporters are coming down on Lin for making the move, but they know they would move to if they were offered that amount of money.
