Recently, Jeremy Lin's agent Wang Fan talked about some of the past when Jeremy Lin was traded to the Lakers and the Hornets in the podcast program "Sports Basketball Show".

Wang Fan recalled: "What impressed me most was that he went to the Lakers. That summer, he happened to be doing activities in China. It was probably in the early morning that his American agent informed him that he was transferred to the Lakers. He was very happy at that time and jumped out of the house, woke us all up, shouting 'I'm going to the Lakers'. Then he flew back to the United States to sign and have a physical examination, interrupting the itinerary of China, and after finishing the matter, he came back. Before leaving, he also sent a text message to Kobe, saying that we were going to be teammates, and both encouraged each other.

"But in fact, he was quite miserable in the year of the Lakers. It seems that I heard that Lakers coach Scott was not particularly friendly to Asians at that time. Of course, he went to the Hornet later. Shuhao said that although his income was not high at the time, I remember that it seemed to be more than 2 million, but that year was the happiest year he played. The team atmosphere was harmonious, and the boss Kemba Walker at that time was also a very good person, and they had a very harmonious relationship.

"Although New York gave the bookish fame and wealth, I know he was not that happy. When the huge focus was on himself, he would not like it so much, he would feel nervous. He actually didn't enjoy it so much at that time with the focus of the media and the fans."
