Lin went from "can I even make it in the NBA?" to stacking a $36 million contract on top of a $25 million contract. No more sad violin playing. Between the 'on the court' money, and probably a fruitful bouquet of 'off court' endorsements, Jeremy Lin will be set for life.
Good place for him, both for basketball and marketing. Goes back to New York and the Nets are absolutely awful... he can run the show and his fans will be happy with his usage. I just realized they have Brook Lopez so they'll be able to have the BROOK-LIN connection.
