Brooklyn Nets point guard Jeremy Lin is not scheduled to make an appearance wearing a Jersey until next season, but that does not mean he cannot represent basketball outside of the court.
The 29-year-old Lin is set to make a number of appearances while he is in the process of rehabilitating his injured knee. He is set to host an upcoming basketball camp in collaboration with renowned basketball training center PCG. The said camp will be focusing on high school players and will be held at the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) headquarters, which is located at 1133 6th Avenue between 43rd and 44th Street.
Lin will be present to assist the PGC coaching staff to provide a full day of drills, tutorials, and leadership training, which is one of the core skills the PGC focuses on instilling to its students.
The training camp will host boys and girls from 13 to 17 years old.
Then on Monday, Lin will also be playing chaperone and host to a lucky Chinese fan that was selected to receive an all-expenses paid trip to Brooklyn, where the fan will be able to watch the Nets face the Houston Rockets.
Lin's recovery will also be the center of focus in Sports Illustrated's latest documentary series "The Life of Lin," where fans will be able to get the most up-to-date information regarding the basketballer's physical condition, as well as his mental preparation for the grueling days of recovery ahead.
In the first episode of the series, Lin discusses his thoughts on his life as an NBA player, such as his desire to play for a team that can let him unleash his full potential, and his continuing struggles with injuries, as well as his own doubts and insecurities, which he admits he could not have handled without the help of his family.
Lin is currently very focused on his rehabilitation, and is eager to get back to the court next season. He has a very good feeling that his time for greatness will start by the time he gets back, and once he does, he plans to shape his career just like his role model Steve Nash, who has only started to attain greatness after he had turned 30.
