🏀 Jeremy Lin Claims MVP Title in Taiwan's Debut Basketball League!
ttyl, it's the lowdown on the first-ever MVP of the Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL) - none other than the prolific point guard, Jeremy Lin!
The TPBL announced Lin as their inaugural MVP yesterday, with a swanky score above 50% from journalists, commentators, league anchors, and die-hard fans! The league, though, remained tight-lipped about who finished second and third in this notable vote.
Lin bagged 113 points from the media and 18,282 votes from the TPBL's passionate fanbase, as per the league's statement. This historic win marks his first regular-season MVP in Taiwan since he joined the champs back in early 2023.
As the driving force behind the New Taipei Kings, Lin consistently logged 33 minutes per game, racking up 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and a jaw-dropping 5.6 assists per game. His undeniable dominance in the seven-team league led the Kings to finish atop the rankings, boasting an impressive 26-10 record - five games clear of second-placed Formosa Dreamers.
Don't forget about his non-import titles for field goal percentage (43.4 percent) and player efficiency rating (19.5)! Lin clinched Player of the Month awards a whopping four times this season.
The Kings will host the Kaohsiung Aquas for Game 1 of the TPBL Finals at Sinjhuang Gymnasium tomorrow at 7pm. Keep those eyes peeled, because you won't want to miss Lin's finishing moves!
