The Palo Alto High School graduate answered a bunch of questions Wednesday through the New York Knicks' official Twitter account.
When asked to name his toughest matchup, this is how Lin answered:
"Steph, before KD got there. And then Russ (Russell Westbrook) after KD left. Their usage rates were so high and you could never take a break.
"They literally were getting pick-and-rolls every single possession ... and they're also amazing players."
In 2015-16 -- when Steph became the first unanimous MVP in NBA history -- he averaged 30.1 points and 6.7 assists, while shooting 50.4 percent overall and 45.4 percent from deep.
His usage rate (31.4 percent) was tied for the third highest in the league behind DeMarcus Cousins and James Harden.

In 2016-17 -- KD's first season with the Dubs -- Steph averaged 25.3 points and 6.6 assists, and his usage rate dipped to 28.6 percent (16th highest).
He certainly had to adjust to Durant's arrival and sacrificed statistics for winning.

Now that Durant has left Golden State, it will be very interesting to see what kind of numbers a healthy Steph puts up next season.
As for Westbrook -- he averaged 31.6 points and 10.4 assists right after KD left the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the process, he won the MVP and recorded the highest usage rate (40.2) in NBA history.
As for Lin -- when he burst onto the scene in February 2012 and "Linsanity" took over New York (and the entire world) -- he averaged 24.6 points and 9.2 assists over a 10-game stretch, and posted a usage rate of 30.6 percent.
Not bad for a Harvard guy.
