“Jeremy played the same way all the time,” McHale said. “He goes into attack mode and he goes and goes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.”
Still, McHale had nothing but praise for Lin, who started at point guard for the Lakers.
“He’s a wonderful kid to coach, a wonderful person to be around,” McHale said. “I have nothing but good things to say about him. We’ll miss him because of the way he plays because we go up and down the floor and attack.
“There are some guys that go 90 and he goes 95. He’s fast. … He’s such a good kid and he plays really hard. That’s all you can ask.”
