Watch: Hornets' Lin drops a Jordan shrug after hitting trey against Heat

Jeremy Lin must figure imitating one's boss is the sincerest form of flattery because after hitting a three in Game 4 against the Miami Heat on Monday, the Charlotte Hornets guard looked right at owner Michael Jordan and gave him the shrug.

The shrug, of course, became legendary in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals when Jordan scored 35 points in the first half. After burying his sixth 3-pointer, Jordan looked over at Magic Johnson, broadcasting the game for NBC, and shrugged in bemusement.

Lin said after the game that he did not intentionally try to pay homage to Jordan. For the record, he scored 21 points in the Game 4 win over the Heat. The series is now tied at two games apiece.
