• from GQ: Last May, after the Knicks lost to the Heat in the first round of the playoffs, Lin returned home to Palo Alto for the first time in months. He'd spent most of 2012 in anonymous hotel rooms on the road, in the W Hotel for home games, and, of course, on the couches of his brother and teammate Landry Fields. After a long season, he just wanted to get back to a place where he could unwind after one of the most overwhelming, surreal three-month stretches a human being could possibly experience. One afternoon he headed over to the old court with some of his old friends."At first I was like, 'This is gonna be fine,' " he says. "We played for a while, and it was cool. Then some people noticed us, and by the end of our first game, there's a crowd forming, everyone's taking pictures. We didn't even play a second game. I just walked home, like I always had, and they followed me. They all knew where I lived. I knew everything was going to be different, but I guess I never realized how different. I can't 'go home' and expect it to be, you know, home." "My parents better not ever sell that house," Lin says. "I'll buy it if I have to." (this just makes me sad my poor baby come and reside in my pocket. i'll take you where ever you want and i feel horrible because i know where he lives too)
