LeVert will be with Lin for about two days and surely, Taiwanese fans are excited to see two basketball superstars in their home country.
With his visit to Taiwan, Lin had also brought with him extreme positivity, especially regarding the upcoming National Basketball Association season.
According to the player, the Nets would, in fact, be making the playoffs even after a 20–62 record-worst for the league last season. Now, he is claiming that the team would go beyond game No. 82.
"We're making the playoffs. I don't care what anybody else says to me," Lin said as he answered a few questions during an Instagram Live video.
The Nets have also recently acquired D'Angelo Russell in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers and in the live feed, Lin could not help but express how excited he is to play with the 21-year-old.
"We're gonna do some serious damage next year," he said. "I'm pretty sure he'll start at shooting guard, but it will be pretty interchangeable. And then when one of us is out of the game, the other person most likely will have the ball in their hands. It will probably be a little bit combo guard-esque."
