That was the best I could do for the blog title..lol

Hope this can encourage you on your road to recovery. Get well soon brother!

I know it’s been quiet here on the blog front these past few days.. Took a much needed trip back to New York to visit the wife (+ our little champ in her tummy) and the rest of the family.
Needless to say, we cherished every second together as I was repeatedly reminded of how blessed I am.
Witnessing #Linsanity #Woodsanity live at the Garden as the Knicks broke their 6 (or 7?) game losing streak defeating the Pacers was definitely a highlight of the trip, but the most memorable moment of the evening was not even during the game. Instead, it occurred as I was exiting MSG…
That’s when I randomly (or not random at all) encountered Kervin.
The dialogue went something like this..
K: Yo.. Jin?
J: What’s good.
K: Say word! It is Jin. You mind if we take a quick picture?
J: No doubt.
Then what he said next is what made my night…
K: I checked out that Sincerely Yours EP. It’s dope.
J: WORD? Online?
K: Yeah, that Whatever It Takes joint is ill.
J: (lost for words & humbled)…what’s your name?
K: Kervin.
J: Brother, I appreciate that sincerely.
Why the hoopla you ask? Considering I’ve been in Hong Kong for the past 4 years and pretty much as far removed from “the game” as one can possibly be, it is quite encouraging to know that someone’slistening. Not to say the positive tweets and youtube comments aren’t uplifting but it just doesnt quite compare to random acknowledgment while out and about.
I’m not gonna assume that all of you have heard the Sincerely Yours EP. For those not in the loop, it’s a 5 track project that I released online for free months ago. Recently though, I re-recorded & revised the vocals as well as got it remastered… thus presenting: Sincerely Yours 2.0.
Here’s the title track..

”The song is solid and thoughtful, less about Lin specifically than about a higher power…” - Jon Caramanica
Definitely humbled and encouraged by the positive nod! Even more so, I appreciate him noting that the song is not so much an ode to Jeremy but a proclamation of how he’s letting his faith be the foundation for all that he does, including his current journey on the court.

Dear reader, please do not be mislead by the subject line. I’m as far from Anti-Lin as it gets..
I’m just saying it might be good to take a moment and readjust the spotlight just slightly to acknowledge some of the figures who have played a key role in this Linderella Story according to the man himself.
Solid stats. Impressive performance at the Shooting Stars event this past weekend. Now would be a good time we all start #DoinTheLandry.
In less than 2 weeks I think anyone who has a microphone and some form of recording capability has put together their own anthem or tribute song for #17. Rightfully so!
As much as Jeremy emphasizes the kind of positive encouragement that his buddy provides both on and off the court, you’d think someone
