Jeremy Lin Fruit Snacks: Receives Jersey Made of Fruit Roll-Ups
Jeremy Lin received a very interesting gift. The New York Knicks point guard received a life-sized jersey made of fruit roll-ups as a gift from General Mills Fruit Snacks. The injured player tweeted a message and picture of his gift, saying: "Thanks fruit snacks for the best gift ever: a life-size jersey made of fruit roll up. I would eat it if it wasn't framed."
Although Lin was out for the season due to his knee injury, he has hinted that he might return to the courts in game 4. The Knicks point guard said on April 29 that there is a chance he may play in the first-round playoff series with the Miami Heat this coming Sunday.
Lin had undergone knee surgery in the beginning of this month to repair a torn a torn meniscus. Although he originally planned to stay out for the rest of the season he is reported to have taken part in recent practice drills.
If Lin would return to play in the game, it is likely that he would be playing limited minutes, said Mike Woodson, as reported by ESPN. "After going through (surgery), he won't be in basketball shape," Woodson said. "My job is to gauge him ... and make sure he's giving us solid minutes within the short minutes that he plays."
Jeremy Lin posted a video response last week to an invitation from Stuyvesant High School students to speak at their graduation.
