Knicks Star Lin Moves From Couch to Fancy NYC Pad New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin, who famously slept on a teammate's couch the night before his breakout performance, now has an apartment of his own. The two-bedroom rental is on the 38th floor of the residences at the W New York Downtown Hotel and overlooks the Statue of Liberty. A fan holds a sign in support of New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin in the second half of the Knicks' NBA basketball game against the Atlanta Hawks at Madison Square Garden in New York, Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012. The Wall Street Journal (http://on.wsj.com/ysuyoH) reports that Lin signed the contract Wednesday. The apartment was listed at $13,000 a month. Matthew Moinian, the son of W's developer, says Lin got a better deal, but he declined to disclose the price. Lin was waiting to see if the Knicks would guarantee him a contract before he got his own apartment. In the meantime, he stayed with his brother and a teammate. Lin is now signed with the Knicks through the season.
