Almost 15 years after cementing his place in New York Knicks lore, Jeremy Lin is officially calling it a career.
The 37-year-old, who has not played in the NBA since 2019, announced his decision on Instagram. “As athletes, we are always aware that the possibility of retirement is never far away,” he wrote. “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’s NBA career spanned from 2010 through 2019, and included stops with eight different teams.
