Now, we know why presidential candidate Andrew Yang is a fan of the Nets. It was all about Jeremy Lin and the way his —and Yang’s former— team, the Knicks, “dumped” him after LinSanity. Yang in fact uses strong and unprintable language to describe his breaking point with Dolan’s Knicks. Not long after, he switched loyalties.
And we also know one reason why the maverick candidate has a growing connection to the Nets. It too is personal. Yang says he’s “friendly” with Joe Tsai. Yang was interviewed on the “Off the Pill” podcast with Ryan Higa, who’s better known for his comedy videos.
