GQ has jumped on the Jeremy Lin train. He is on the cover of the November issue.
There’s hardly any guarantee that Lin, now with Houston, will continue to be the sensation that he was last year. So why wait? Let’s slap him on the cover while he still has some steam.
For now, everyone still wants a piece of Lin. I loved the headline that ran on Boston.com: “Harvard’s Lin covers GQ.”
Yes, Harvard. Isn’t that everyone’s first association when they think of Lin? I suppose that’s the case in Boston.
Even Lin questions how long this will last.
“People are always saying, ‘He’s only started twenty-five games, there’s so many uncertainties.’ And I agree. I totally agree. I don’t know how my next season’s going to turn out. The things that I struggled with before last year, I’m going to struggle with next year — there’s that learning process. . . . I’m not like the next Michael Jordan, but I’m also not what everyone saw me as before I started playing in the NBA, either.”
