Lin asks to sleep on Parsons' couch

Found September 16, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jeremy Lin,  Chandler Parsons
TEAMS: Houston Rockets

Via Larry Brown Sports:

Lin famously was living on his brother’s couch in New York before breaking out with the Knicks and ultimately getting added to the team’s roster for the rest of the season. Once he got a guaranteed contract with the Knicks, he moved out and got his own place. And even though he’s now set to make multi-millions guaranteed, he’s still not too cool to live on a couch.

But what was the funniest part about Parsons’ tweet? He shared it with the world before actually responding to Lin!

Oh man, don’t you change, Jeremy. And if Parsons doesn’t let you sleep at his home, then you can always crash at Connor Barwin’s place.
