The Brooklyn Nets starting point guard Jeremy Lin has been requested by a fan to sign his autograph on a National Basketball Association (NBA) card of Paul Millsap, who is now playing at the power forward position for the Denver Nuggets. The reason the fan sent Lin a card of Millsap is because the fan admitted to not having a card of the Brooklyn Nets point guard. 

In a YouTube video, which Lin posted for his fans on Dec. 20, the player is seen addressing the multiple fan mails that he received -- with one of them having Millsap's card from when he was still a player for the Atlanta Hawks. Instead of being offended, Lin was nice enough to offer to sign one of his own bobble heads instead in order for this particular fan to still have an opportunity for Paul Millsap himself to sign the said card. 

It is notable to mention that despite Lin having been a part of various teams throughout his entire NBA career, he and Millsap have never had the opportunity to become teammates. Lin stated in the video that this type of fan mail is something that he has not experienced before. Lin also did not forget to express his respect and admiration for the Nuggets power forward, describing Millsap as a "tremendous, tremendous player."

The lucky fan is not only getting an autograph from one of his favorite basketball players but is also getting a bobblehead of him as well -- which is not a bad deal at all. It is safe to assume that Lin is making videos as of now since he is recuperating from a knee injury that stopped him from playing for the entire 2017-2018 NBA season. Lin was unfortunately injured during the very first official game of the regular season against the Indiana Pacers.
