Lin narrated that his favorite shot with the Knicks took place during their game with the Los Angeles Lakers at the Madison Square Garden. He recalled hearing the loudest cheers from fans after making the shot. He stressed the cheers were so loud that he felt like hovering off the ground.
Missing his California Home
Lin also revealed to his fans that he is currently living in a Brooklyn apartment near the training facility of the Nets. When asked what he misses most in California, the NBA star said he misses his family and the feeling of being at home.
Aside from being vocal about his Christian faith, the Harvard graduate is also proud of his close ties with his parents and siblings. In a recent interview with CCTV-5, he attributed his NBA success to his family who encouraged him to persevere in playing basketball amid Asian-American stereotypes in the sport.
