NBA 2K20 MyTeam: Jeremy Lin Spotlight Series Guide

This article is over 4 years old and may contain outdated information

I was a little delayed with the Jeremy Lin Spotlight Series guide because I spent time over the weekend watching the MyTeam tournament, and there was also a bug with one of the challenges I could not figure out until it was fixed. That being said, because I was delayed this guide is all done in one shot. It won’t be a work in progress like most of them have been before this (the Kidd guide for example).

It’s also one of the easier Spotlight Series so far. This was mostly a breeze to put together assuming you have the MT for the cards themselves. And, yes, you do need all 12 cards to complete the challenges so there’s no place to save a little coin. This should not be too expensive in comparison to some of the other sets even with that caveat. Kawhi Leonard is the only card that really puts you out a lot of MT, and while it would have been nice to avoid needing him, he’s sort of imperative if you’re including Lin on the Raptors. Nevertheless, you don’t need to lock in these cards once you’re done so you can try to get as much of your MT back as possible when you finish these up.

I do also advise knocking this one out ASAP. Even if you are not close to getting Brandon Roy yet, the prices on a lot of these cards are just going to keep dropping until this Lin Spotlight Series ends. This also completes Spotlight Series 2, which is why you can now get galaxy opal Brandon Roy, as I mentioned here. It’s an amazing card and is certainly in the top tier of all available cards now.

There are five evolution players in this set (not counting Jeremy Lin), and those requirements are also included in the guide (as usual).

(If we review any of the cards, it will be in a separate post. We will also update this post with a link to those reviews if it occurs.)
