President Obama said he is "very impressed" with Jeremy Lin's performance through six games. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney spoke about his conversation with the president about Lin.
"As you know, the President is an avid sports fan, and a particularly avid basketball fan, and we were speaking about Jeremy Lin on Marine One as we flew here -- to Andrews Air Force Base this morning," said Carney. "It's just a great story, and the President was saying as much this morning. It's obviously terrific for the New York Knicks, but it's the kind of sports story that transcends the sport itself."
"So it's a great story. And, yes, he's very impressed and fully up to speed," continued Carney. "I know he’s watched Lin play already and he’s seen the highlights from last night’s game."
Well, we at least know one thing, Jeremy Lin may have his name used to change up a bunch of words and places right now, but we doubt the Lincoln Room in the White House will ever be called the "Lin"-Coln Room anytime soon.
