Jeremy Lin says security wouldn’t let him into Hornets arena

New Charlotte Hornets guard Jeremy Lin said Saturday via Twitter that he was turned away from working out at Time Warner Cable Arena because a security guard refused to believe he could be an NBA player.

Lin’s tweet read, “Went to the Hornets arena for the 1st time and tried convincing security im (sic) a player. She said, “what team?!?” loll..”

A Hornets spokesman declined comment.
