Jeremy Lin officially retires after 15 years in pro basketball: ‘Hardest decision I’ve ever made’
NY Post
The final chapter of “Linsanity” is officially over.
Former Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin announced his retirement from basketball through an Instagram post Saturday night.
“As athletes, we are always aware that the possibility of retirement is never far away,” Lin said in his post. “I’ve spent my 15 year career knowing that one day I would have to walk away, and yet actually saying goodbye to basketball today has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made.”
Lin, 37, spent nine seasons in the NBA, averaging 11.6 points, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals across 480 games.
“So many people have sacrificed and poured into my journey, more than I could ever repay,” Lin added, writing his caption in both English and Chinese. “Thank you all for believing in me, for walking with me, for celebrating my highs and picking me up in my lows. This is a ride I never wanted to end but I know it’s time.
“I will forever miss playing basketball in front of you all but our time will go beyond just playing. Here’s to what’s ahead.”
