It’s good to know that Jeremy’s mom wasn’t actually upset with the pie-in-the-face prank for her birthday since it’s a family tradition. (It’s unclear if Mama Lin approved this message. We saw her slapping reaction is real, Jeremy 😉 ) ). Celebrating her son’s wax figure being unveiled in the SF Madame Tussauds Musem is certainly an icing on the cake 🙂 Nic... »

I’m glad “Classy and Optimistic” JLin showed up during Ian O’Connor ESPN Radio interview on 8/3 morning show. He was classy as usual to respond to his Houston experience to defer to Harden as the main playmaker but at the same time chose to project optimism in his preparation before the Lakers training camp. ESPN NY Radio Ian O’Connor’s interview that aired this... »
