Former Knicks Star Dishes on Kim Kardashian Dating Rumors

The New York basketball sensation put the rumors to rest once and for all.

Former New York Knicks superstar Jeremy Lin clarified some old rumors about a possible romance between him and Kim Kardashian. Appearing on Pablo Torre Finds Out, the “Linsanity” icon, 37, opened up about the 2012 paparazzi buzz alleging he had dated Kardashian, but made it clear it was all a fantasy. “So this is what I’ve heard, and I don’t know if it’s true or not... That request did come into the Knicks, and it is a real request. I think basically, she at that time was filming her show,” Lin told the sports journalist. “Whatever show was happening back then, but I know that she was looking for a New York athlete to kind of be on this show essentially.” The Taiwanese-American basketballer said that was what he was told after the fact. “The request came into the Knicks, and they immediately declined it without even asking because they were like, we’re not allowing our young, second-year player to go down this route right now.” Kardashian was filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Kourtney & Kim Take New York around February 2012. The reality star is now dating Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton, while Lin is married with one son.
