Jeremy Lin probably had the most embarrassing experience in his NBA career being mistaken for a high schooler by a Lyft driver. As if his list of accomplishments is not enough, the 30-year-old professional does not seem pleased to be considered as a highschooler, along with his younger brother.
According to Fansided, Lin also asked the driver if he likes Atlanta Hawks, the team where he was newly recruited. The driver already said he liked Warriors, where Lin was previously drafted. Unfortunately, for Lin's current team, he said "No" and video can be seen here. Lin played for New York Knicks as well during his glory days in Linsanity. The other teams he played with are:
1. Brooklyn Nets
2. Charlotte Hornets
3. Houston Rockets
4. Los Angeles Laker
However, he only played 37 games over the last two seasons due to his injuries. Sports fans probably won't be seeing "Linsanity" anytime soon but Lin continues to build the solid reputation when it comes to career. In the end, we will see if there's still any magic left for Hawks. At the moment, his main role is to mentor his new younger team member, Trae Young.
The veteran point guard, in other news, gave his shout out to his fellow Southpaw Manu Ginobili. This was after the potential Hall of Famer in the future retired this week.
Jeremy Lin Helps Develop New App
According to the South China Morning Post, a new app that could help basketball players is supported by Jeremy Lin. The mobile app, which powered by artificial intelligence (also known as AI), can help a player's shot-making on the court. This new project only proves the technology is already being adopted in Sports.
It is a delight to say that Lin is one of the promising investors of this project. The start-up developer, NEX Team, is based in San Jose, California. The Home Court mobile they are developing helps track and analyze the player's shots during a game or practice.
"Homecourt provides the platform for players to start working smarter. The fact that this tech is now available to everyone anywhere, not just professional basketball players, is very special," says Lin in a statement.
The app was already released in July and works with iPhone or iPad. NEX team's chief executive David Lee said that players can't improve what they cannot measure. Therefore, the app's real-time statistics data from workout session and shot by shot review of the performance are a huge help.
