NBA.COM: Jeremy Lin Visits NYC

Posted on August 24, 2010 by John

So apparently, the NBA runs a Rookie Transition Program for newly drafted NBA players. Guess who the NBA is highlighting the other day–Golden State Warriors’ Jeremy Lin! The NBA had a camera crew following Jeremy in Times Square, hanging out with some friends and checking out what’s going on, including a brief appearance with the infamous naked cowboy. I guess it’s a good idea that the NBA has a transition program given how many professional athletes in general wind up broke after 5 to 10 years after retiring. But even Jeremy Lin was getting some photos taken and shaking some hands when they found out he was an NBA basketball player with a camera crew following him around. Check out the video yourself!
