Jeremy Lin Talks Retiring In Asia, Linsanity & Reconciling W/ Kenyon Martin, Kobe & More
Dwight Howard sits down with former NBA star Jeremy Lin for a real and unfiltered conversation about basketball, faith, perseverance, and life overseas. Dwight and Jeremy reflect on their time playing in Taiwan, what it meant to embrace the culture, and how the people there made their experience unforgettable. Jeremy opens up about his unlikely journey to the league — from not receiving a Division III offer out of high school to grinding his way to the NBA. He breaks down how “Linsanity” was born with the New York Knicks, what those surreal weeks felt like in real time, and how quickly life changed during that historic run. He also reflects on playing alongside Kobe Bryant, winning a championship with the Toronto Raptors, and the emotional rollercoaster of going from the highest highs to fighting just to earn another NBA roster spot.
