Jeremy Lin does his homework before making successful Raptors debut
TORONTO — Jeremy Lin came prepared for the Raptors.
The nine-year-veteran did his homework in advance of his Toronto debut Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. It showed in the unlikeliest of places — the player introductions.
Fans who have seen the Raptors live have witnessed Kyle Lowry’s entrance — a complex, seemingly ever-changing routine that would not look out of place in a Cirque du Soleil show. Raptors players hit the floor as the all-star point guard, showing some diva-like moves, gyrates his way past, exchanging a series of low-fives.
On Wednesday, despite touching down in Toronto just hours before tip-off, Lin fitted in seamlessly after getting warned by “all my friends” about Lowry’s signature intro.
