Jarrett Jack says ‘Haha’ tweet was never about Jeremy Lin

7:31 PM ET

NEW YORK — Jarrett Jack says he was not throwing any shade on Jeremy Lin on July 1 when he tweeted in laughter about 20 minutes after Lin tweeted he was signing with the Brooklyn Nets.

Some wondered whether Jack might have been bitter considering the Nets waived him and then gave Lin a three-year, $36 million contract.

But Jack, who inked a one-year, veteran-minimum deal with the Atlanta Hawks, says his tweet had nothing to do with Lin.

“I haven’t reached out to J-Lin, but hopefully he doesn’t think it was (any bitterness on my part),” Jack said at his NYC summer basketball camp Friday. “What would even be funny about that? I think J-Lin is damn good. I thought he was tremendous in Houston when they were hitting all those 3-pointers, and then in Charlotte, he played his ass off during the playoffs.

“I’ll talk to him when I see him, but I don’t think it’s important to be calling and saying, ‘You know, I didn’t mean anything by it.’ We kind of know each other so to speak, and hopefully he knows me to the degree where I’m not sitting around and tweeting ‘hahaha’s’ at someone else’s expense.”

The journey continues…thankful for the next chapter!! #Godisgood pic.twitter.com/1PLutlFbyO
