Jeremy Lin and his new Rockets teammate Chandler Parsons went out to dinner the night before Lin's introductory news conference in Houston.
Parsons quickly realized that "Linsanity" had left New York and landed in Texas.
The two were interrupted on Wednesday night 15 to 20 times, by Parsons' estimate, by fans who recognized Lin and wanted an autograph or a photo. Parsons, who played in all but three games for Houston last season, was virtually ignored. Dangggggg..
"I was a little insulted," Parsons said. "But that's exciting. You want someone like that on your team to bring fans, you want sold-out games. You want the attention like that. The more attention he has, the more attention the Houston Rockets have."
And Lin will certainly bring it. Lin says he's not worried about the knee injury that left ended his breakout season with the Knicks last season. Although he's walking into a situation with enormous pressure and spotlights on him I have no doubt that he will deliver! Go Lin!
