Since the youngster was shy of approaching him, he requested his mother to do the talking to Jeremy. Subsequently, Julius mother asked Lin if he would be willing to play with her son in their backyard, to which the Hornets backup point guard said yes.
Thus, the one-on-one ensued between Jeremy Lin and the impressive and tall Julius took place amid a snowy mountain backdrop in the land of the midnight sun.
Shortly after the one-on-one between Jeremy and Julius, a video of their game was posted on Facebook where they traded shots.
But as it turned out, Lin was not prepared for Agustsson because he turned out to be the best basketball player in all of Iceland for his age group, even earning MVP honors during an Icelandic Cup title run during the past winter.
The youngster actually schooled the NBA player a few times on his way to a 3-0 lead but it was clear that Jeremy Lin was not giving it all in the friendly one-on-one game.
He then explained in the video that he has not played in a little bit so he was out of shape, which is normally every father’s excuse when his son starts schooling him to the rack in their backyard hoop.
