Not sure who Katherine Vavoulis is or how she's connected to the Lakers organization, but her family seems to have season tickets and access to Lakers players 1 on 1 off the court over the years.

Here she is at Lakers games:

Here she is with Kobe:

With Odom:

And now with her newest fan favorite, Jeremy Lin:
http://instagram.com/p/tDnneVAqpK/

So it's not just new fans following Lin from the Rockets to the Lakers, like that girl Sophie in Paris. But also long time Lakers fans with close family connections to the Lakers establishment welcoming Lin, like this girl.

And no, these fans are not Asian, despite bigoted critics who assume that the only reason that fans like Lin and follow him is because of his ethnicity and the fact that they're Asian, too.

But it's good to see that it's not just fans following him to the Lakers who are buzzing about him, but also long time Lakers stalwarts in the fan base who are embracing him.

To clarify, it's not his own defense and offense he's watching. According to a tweet, he's studying Byron Scott's offensive strategies with the Cavs on one screen and Tony Allen's defensive highlights on another.

International clothing retailers are taking advantage of Jeremy Lin being on the Lakers now. Not sure how much interest the NBA has in Indonesia, but Slam Dunk Inc., which bills itself as a "Basketball premium clothing line" with a main storefront in Jarkarta, is releasing this T-shirt available for pre-order.

https://twitter.com/SLAMDUNKINC/status/514061745162567682/photo/1

No idea if it's actually licensed or approved by Lin (probably not). But we saw a flurry of people and businesses cashing in on his popularity when he was with the Knicks, everything from clothing to medical marijuana to Ben&Jerry flavors to alcoholic drinks to strip clubs special discount nights, using his name on it and without his permission. Looks like clothing makers in Jarkarta are trying to cash in on Lakers Lin in a similar fashion.

Whistler Sports Network announced they managed to sign Jeremy Lin yesterday.

Broadcasting & Cable wrote:


Whistle Sports Network announced Thursday Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin will join the sports-focused digital network.

Lin’s YouTube channel has near 400,000 subscribers and will now be part of the Whistle Sports brand.

"I'm blessed to have some of the most supportive and engaged fans in the world," said Lin. "Joining Whistle Sports provides my fans with a wider network of content possibilities. The Whistle has grown by millions of subscribers this year, has great momentum, and is expanding rapidly internationally. I'm looking forward to growing with them."

Whistle Sports president Jeff Urban estimates only 30 athletes in the world currently have their own active YouTube channel.

"Jeremy Lin is more than an elite athlete and role model with a global following. He's also incredibly talented when it comes to making compelling content that people enjoy sharing," said Urban. "We're excited to have him as part of the team and to be able to work for and with him."

Whistle Sports launched in January and counts the NFL, PGA, MLB, Major League Lacrosse and NASCAR among its investors and content partners. The network currently has 7.5 million subscribers and passed the billion views mark across its library of content.

Jeremy gives his thoughts on it how the whole youtube thing began, in an interview with USA Today in their "For the Win" column.

USA Today wrote:
In his time off the court, Jeremy Lin has built one of the largest YouTube channel followings with videos like “Jeremy Lin goes to Hollywood” racking up more than 659,000 hits.

It’s a project that he started long before Linsanity took over New York, eventually bringing him to a decent NBA career through Houston and now Los Angeles.

“When people think Harvard or Asian American or they see my demeanor on the court, they automatically come up with certain preconceptions about who I am or what my demeanor is and I think one thing that was really missing was my off-the-court personality,” he told For The Win. “So a friend had suggested I start making YouTube videos awhile back when I was with Golden State and so that’s how it all began.

“And after I made my first one I was like ‘wow this is really fun’ and since then we’ve just been having fun with it. I love it because it’s an opportunity to have you know you push your own message you control the content from start to finish, it’s very pure and authentic it’s not muddled with anything else. You don’t have to do things a certain way or push certain things. I can be who I want to be and say what I want to say through the YouTubes.”

Lin has more than a dozen videos posted to his YouTube channel currently, including those that show a day in his life and a parody of how to get into his alma mater. The videos have helped him carry the excitement that began in New York to fans who get to see a different and usually funny side of him.

The new Lakers guard signed up to partner with cross-media platform network The Whistle Sports Network this week.

“We’re hoping to be able to create positive, interesting content for young fans or basketball fans or fans in general,” he said.

It sounds like he's not just signing with them as a content provider. He's also going to become an equity partner with Derek Jeter and Petyon Manning in the new startup.

Bloomberg wrote:

Jeremy is one athlete I'm not worried about going broke after his career is over, with his economics degree from Harvard.

Another new Bloomberg piece:

Bloomberg wrote:
Jeremy Lin Says He Spurned Millions of Dollars in Linsanity Era
By Erik Matuszewski - Sep 26, 2014

Jeremy Lin said he left tens of millions of dollars on the table by not accepting the endorsement opportunities he was offered during the height of the “Linsanity” era in New York two years ago.

The 26-year-old Lin, who is now with the Los Angeles Lakers after spending the past two seasons with the Houston Rockets, is the first Chinese- or Taiwanese-American to play in the National Basketball Association.

A Harvard University graduate, Lin only played in 35 games with the Knicks -- including 25 starts -- during the 2011-12 season, yet sparked a winning turnaround as he went from bench-warmer to star. He spawned an international craze known as Linsanity, boosting television ratings and merchandise sales in New York while his jersey became the league’s best-seller.

“If I had accepted everything, I don’t know the exact number, but I would have been making way more off the court than on the court,” said Lin, who has a $14.9 million salary in the final season of his three-year, $25 million deal. “Even the next contract after.”

Lin yesterday joined the Whistle Sports Network as a content partner, adding his YouTube channel with almost 400,000 subscribers to the 8-month-old, sports-focused digital media platform. He’s the first athlete from one of the four major professional sports leagues in the U.S. to produce content for the company and received an undisclosed equity stake.

Lin in January signed an endorsement contract with Adidas AG after his previous agreement with Nike Inc. ended, yet has largely avoided most of the sponsorship he’s been offered.

“We’ve turned away almost everything, just because I do think my purpose is to play basketball, play well, and play for the glory of God,” Lin said in a telephone interview. “The stuff off the court is great and it’s fun, but it’s definitely secondary to my primary job.”


Lin said he’s one of the few NBA players with a YouTube channel and created it mainly to connect with fans.

“What we’re trying to do with that has never been about monetization,” Lin said, adding that the Whistle Sports Network will help improve the production and reach of his videos. “That’s true for this partnership as well. A lot of what we create is purely for the fans.”

Economics degree from Harvard? What good is that really though?

"I'll be Kobe"
"I'll be Nash"
Steve Nash cuts in: "No, I'll be Nash"

LMAO @ Steve Nash: "Why are you working out with Rush Hour?"

They must have seen that fan made vid of Lin and Kobe as Rush Hour, to make that reference.
