Jeremy Lin has fired back at ESPN's Jalen Rose over his comment about the Nets during Tuesday’s episode of Get Up.
The former NBA player claimed that professional players on losing teams don’t have fun and used the Nets as an example to prove his point.
Rose guaranteed that Nets players, who finished the 2017-18 season with only 28 wins, don’t text each other during the offseason.

NBA playoffs 2018: When do the NBA Finals start?
“I promise you, the Nets. OK. They play right here in Brooklyn. Those players are not exchanging texts with each other this offseason," said Rose.
Lin was quick to respond to Rose's claim on Twitter.
The Nets point guard said the team had a BBQ last week.
Hmm Jalen much respect to you but no idea where this came from lol. I just had the whole team over for a fat bbq last week. These are my homies...even @IAmCHAP24 lol https://t.co/rfB16GOZmA

And there must have been some texts sent to arrange this team hike in May:

It looks like Rose got it completely wrong with this one.
