Big-hearted basketball phenom Jeremy Lin broke bread with the former ESPN editor who was fired after penning a racially insensitive headline about the Knick.



The sports network showed little mercy to Anthony Federico, canning him last month after he used the expression "chink in the armor" in a headline about a game Lin flubbed.



The star point guard was more forgiving and reached out to Federico, inviting him to lunch in Manhattan Tuesday.



"We talked about the headline for less than three minutes. He and I are cool," Federico, 28, told the Daily News.



"We can move on. He knows there was no intent."
