Jeremy Lin Sends Farewell Message to NBA

Former NBA star Jeremy Lin’s NBA comeback is all but over. Thursday night, with the deadline for a call-up expired, Jeremy Lin posted a heartbreaking and frustrated farewell to the NBA on social media. Despite Lin averaging 19.8 points a game in the G-League and shooting 42% from 3, it just wasn’t enough.

Lin Posted a goodbye message to  Instagram.

“For months, I saw others get contracts, chances, opportunities. I told myself I just need ONE ten-day contract, one chance to get back on the floor and I would blow it out the water. After all that’s how my entire career started – off one chance to prove myself. For reasons I’ll never fully know, that chance never materialized. But I proved I’m better than ever and an NBA player.”

Lin doesn’t say he is done with basketball, although he isn’t sure what is next.

He can always return to China where he averaged 22.3 points and 5.6 assists a game.

He’ll always have his Linsanity moment.
