TAMPA, Fla. — Alex Rodriguez has an interesting offer for Jeremy Lin: Need a new roommate?
“If he’s still looking for a place to crash, maybe he can crash at my apartment,” the New York Yankees star said. “Imagine the tabloids then.”
A day after arriving at spring training, Rodriguez said Saturday he feels healthy and gave a lot of credit to a special treatment suggested by another NBA star, Kobe Bryant.
But it didn’t take long before A-Rod, like almost everyone else these days, was talking about the sudden success of Lin, the New York Knicks point guard who spent the night before his breakout game sleeping on teammate Landry Fields’ couch — only because his brother’s place, where Lin had been staying, was unavailable.
Of course, now that his contract is guaranteed for the rest of the season, Lin has found his own apartment.
“Linsanity. Wow. What a run,” Rodriguez said. “You look at the Giants, you look at Linsanity and there’s been so many great things happening in New York. We kind of feel like we want to jump in the party.
“The great thing about Linsanity is that, it kind of reminds you of how fun the game should be.
” It makes you realize how much fun the game is.”
