Taipei, June 14 (CNA) Jeremy Lin (林書豪) has etched his name into the history books of the Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL) by being named the nascent league's MVP in its inaugural season, the league announced Saturday.
Lin secured the honor with a weighted score exceeding 50 percent, including 113 points from 18 reporters and five of the league's commentators and anchors, as well as 18,282 votes from fans, the league said in a press statement.
The league did not specify in the statement who finished second and third in the MVP vote.
This marks Lin's first regular season MVP award since he began playing in Taiwan in early 2023.

Lin, who averaged 33 minutes per game, recorded 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game, leading the New Taipei Kings to the top of the seven-team league with a 26-10 record-five games ahead of the second-place Formosa Dreamers.
He also led non-imports in field goal percentage (43.4 percent) and player efficiency rating (19.5), earning Player of the Month honors four times this season.
The Kings host the Kaohsiung Aquas at 7 p.m. Monday at Xinzhuang Gymnasium for Game 1 of the TPBL Finals.
