Rookie
I think this was when Lin went out to LA to work out with TC and Melo and had dinner with them and Woody. You can see some LA street signs like Century Blvd in the vid. What head coach did Atkinson work for in Houston, has to be JVG?
I can see why Lin went undrafted, he was really skinny coming out of college but has really put on some muscle with those workouts. He's put in the work to get his game at the level it is today.
No, the Wood/TC/Melo LA dinner is a separate item, when Jeremy flew down from the Bay Area to LA just for the dinner. The LA street signs in the video are from another time when Lin went to LA to shoot the Volvo commercial with Hollywood (we were wondering why he was spotted at LA airport, and people were speculating he might be negotiating with the Lakers, but he was really there just for the commercial shoot, I think). And the Atkinson dinner was in Houston right after Lin visited Houston the first time (might even have been the very night), presumable to pick Atkinson's brain while weighing the initial offer since Atkinson used to work for the Rockets. The Atkinson workout scenes from the video are in Lin's hometown in the Bay Area, I think, when Kenny flew out to meet him. Sparta Science is in Menlo park, which is not LA but the Bay Area, just like Palo Alto. He was running back and fourth between four different trainers each day, I think (Sparta Science, Doc Scheppler, Green Room Training, and some other fourth group). Kenny flew in and helped him a bit during that stint, back when everyone expected the Knicks to match anything.
