The Knicks didn’t think Jeremy Lin could keep up with Kim Kardashian.
A year after the former NBA player retired from basketball, he recounted the dating rumors that swirled between he and The Kardashians star back in 2012, during his “Linsanity” winning streak with the New York Knicks.
“This is what I’ve heard and I don’t know if it’s true or not,” Lin explained during a June 9 appearance on the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast. “That request did come into the Knicks and it is a real request. I think basically, she at that time was filming her show.”
Lin couldn’t remember what show Kardashian might have been filming—her and sister Kourtney Kardashian’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians spinoff Kourtney and Kim Take New York ran for two season between 2011 and 2012— but he noted, “Whatever show was happening back then, but I know that she was looking for a New York athlete to kind of be on this show essentially.”
E! News reached out to reps for the Knicks and Kardashian but has not yet heard back.
But Lin, who was then in his early 20s, never heard directly from the SKIMS founder, who was in her early 30s at the time.
