Jeremy Lin just gained a new fan who until a few days ago had no idea who he was.
Holland Christensen of Tennessee went to get a tattoo.
Don’t asked me why, but she wanted a tattoo with Chinese writing on it and a friend gave her some Chinese characters and told her it meant something else.
It was actually the Chinese characters for Jeremy Lin’s name.
Christensen then did what every kid seems to do these days, she put her misfortunes on social media, reported the Morning Ledger.

That caught the attention of Lin himself who then decided to put the identical Chinese characters on his own ankle using a marking pen.

Christensen is making the best of her misfortune. She plans to attend at least two upcoming Hornet playoff games and is hoping to meet her new best friend.
I will be at Games 3 and 4 in Charlotte (April 23 & 25) for the playoffs, hopefully I can meet @JLin7 and other @hornets fans ??✨
