When Jeremy Lin is out of the league in two years will he go work on Wall Street?

Don't be silly. No HF/PEs would want him; skills developed in basketball vs that of high finance sectors are not transferable, as yet. Plus, his Mandarin isn't even that good.

Considering his heritage and personality, most probably he'll get a Harvard MBA, mess around with some high finance/IB/consulting stints, then start plugging his own money into similar funds and/or start his own boutique VC.

 

I know this thread is a joke because we all know Lin will get another contract, but if he decides to quit basketball he should probably get his MBA and work for some IB/HF.
Either that or he'll become a pastor

 

He's already signed up to be The Bachelor in 2016.

 

What's the point of this thread??

 

Someone dig up Les' comments that Lin could work in the Rockets front office in the future. That's how much Les loves Lin.

 

Two thoughts:

1) I think you guys are overplaying the Harvard economics major. That's nice and all, but a lot of the big boys on Wall Street are smarter than that...or better said, lots of people with Harvard econ majors don't get the opportunity to work/make it on Wall Street or as some I-banker. Some aren't as smart though, so I guess you can make the argument he hustles harder or gets down and dirty and makes it, but why would he do that when...

2) He's probably saved most of his money. I sure know if I made $24M in 3 years, I sure as hell would have saved so much of it that I hardly need to do a HORRIBLE JOB like work on Wall Street. You might start working on Wall Street for the money, but you stay for the prestige and power. I don't feel like Jeremy is the type that needs/wants either.

 

Oh jeez, another burn Lin thread? Come on, at least keep this one comical and focus less on the hate. It gets old really fast (while the job thing was actually an entertaining idea).

 

When LelWestbrick makes a non-trash thread will he be less trash?

 

Can we keep these threads in the hangout or nowhere?

He doesn't seem like someone who will waste his money like other NBA players, so he should be fine with his 25 mil he s̶t̶o̶l̶e̶ earned from the Rockets.

 

Lol you think only the very best players get contracts? I'm really not sure if you're joking or not, but Lin still averaged 13/4 off the bench this year on a team that's a terrible fit. He's not that good, but once his contract ends he'll still be only about 26 entering his best physical years and is definitely capable of averaging 16/7 on a lottery team in the East. You're saying no one will give him a contract, even if it is small and to play as a backup? Lol. If Raymond Felton and JJ Barea can get a contract, any decent player can.

I know everyone's pissed about that turnover, but I really hope you're joking and don't actually believe what you're saying

 

You don't think he could get the minimum somewhere after averaging 12/5 on 45% shooting?

But gj op great thread!!

 

There is nothing positive about this thread and speaking of wolves you seem to be one hiding in sheep's clothing. I don't know what your point is but it is clear it is not intended to be positive with comments like this...

And this...

... you seem to hate Lin beyond anything he could have down. He didn't take an instagram with your girlfriend.

 

A large chunk of economists aren't good enough at maths to cover the needs of Wall St. as far as the quant jobs go. Management is a sure possibility but that is governed by the iron fist of the buddy system and the old school still.

 

This thread is stupid. He will still be a NBA player. Want to tell us what you would be two years later?

 

I would still sign him for like 3 mil a year for a backup

 

By the logic of this thread, Mike Conley (who just made a bigger error than Lin o cost his team a chance to win in regulation) should just quit the NBA tomorrow.
