A crowd follows Jeremy Lin where he goes. The Lakers guard has attracted extensive media attention from both local and international media. When he attended a recent event at Westfield Culver City Mall, hordes of fanas flooded the Foot Locker shoe store. Lin prefers to keep his residency in West Los Angeles private so that he can enjoy his free time with close friends and relatives.
So how can Lin avoid a mob scene? Well, he can dress up like someone else, such as his recent parody video in which he poses as an adidas employee. Lin asked customers about their shoe or shirt preferences. He would pepper him with questions about the NBA. Lin even made disparaging comments about his play.
But no one paid much attention until Lin took off his wig. Then, the fanfare emerged again.
