The article is fake dude. I dont think Jeremy Lin is playing basketball for the sole purpose of cashing in on fooling a few billion Asian people into buying his jersey. Id assume he got into playing basketball because he enjoys the game first and foremost. Give it up and let it die.
He gave a shout out to JR Smith during the ESPY's. It wasn't a tongue and cheek shout out either. Definitley a BS article.

Anyone who has watched an interview with J.R. Smith will understand that there is no way he is that well-spoken or intelligent.
