Jeremy Lin returns to couch sleeping

When Jeremy Lin burst on to the scene as the New York Knicks’ starting point guard last season, he did so while sleeping on his brother’s couch. Some things never change, according to a tweet from Lin’s new Houston Rockets teammate Chandler Parsons.

Glad all that @NBA money didn't change him @JLin7. http://t.co/c2IZG1eY—

Lin joined the Rockets after the Knicks declined to match Houston’s three-year, $25 million contract in the offseason. In the aftermath of the saga Lin was criticized by some (including ESPN‘s Stephen A. Smith) for caring more about money than his humble, down-to-earth nature would let on. However, it now appears that Lin isn’t opposed to some couchsurfing after his big payday.
