Lin says shrug wasn't intended as Jordan tribute
NBA TV
Jeremy Lin has always had a pretty good sense of timing on the basketball court, but he said that Monday's shrug after draining a 3-pointer in the Charlotte Hornets' 89-85 Game 4 win over the Miami Heat was not an homage to his boss Michael Jordan.
"No, I didn't even think about that until after the game when they said that," Lin told reporters postgame. "Me and Kemba (Walker) were talking about that - that was kind of 'Angels in the Outfield,' a blessing from God. That shot, when I let it go, I was like, 'Yo, there's no chance this goes in.' And it went in. So thank God."
Still, this is pretty cool:
