Former NBA star Jeremy Lin and his brother Joseph recently achieved a significant milestone by helping the New Taipei Kings win the P.League+ (PLG) championship. This victory in Game 5 against the Taoyuan Pauian Pilots is especially meaningful as it is the first time the Lin brothers have played and won a professional title together. Joseph made a critical impact in the second quarter by scoring essential three-pointers to extend the team’s lead, while Jeremy, despite his torn meniscus, came off the bench to contribute to the team’s success after they faced an early deficit.
In a thrilling overtime finish, both Lin brothers fouled out but the Kings were able to dominate the extra period and secure a 103-97 victory. This championship win marks the first PLG title for the Kings, as well as Jeremy’s second professional title after winning the NBA championship in 2018-2019 with the Toronto Raptors. Reflecting on the win, Jeremy expressed his joy on Instagram by saying, “To win a championship with my lil bro is truly a special feeling. We’ve seen each other through the roughest times, had the toughest conversations and worked endlessly at protecting our brotherhood from being affected by everything else going on. To end the season on top with our parents and loved ones watching…my heart is so full.” If you want to stay updated on Asian American news, be sure to download the NextShark App.
