More quotes by Jeremy Lin
I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody.
Jeremy Lin
I love eating junk food. I'm a huge snacker, chips and candy.
Jeremy Lin
In many ways, the longer I live, I understand that there are so many things outside my control. That’s why I believe faith is such a big part of the story. There are so many things that were orchestrated by God, that were put into place to make this perfect storm, that created Linsanity.
Jeremy Lin
Just this whole journey [of life] has been a blessing from God, so for me to be here [on Earth] I'm just taking it one day at a time and really enjoying it.
Jeremy Lin
Not sure if that will benefit me or hurt me, but I know I have the skills and am ready to play in the NBA regardless of my ethnicity.
Jeremy Lin
All these people, all these things came into my life, and they're all blessings from God. And now that I look back, I realize that these are His fingerprints all over my story.
Jeremy Lin
It seems like everybody's perception of me is very bipolar. To one group, it's overpaid, overrated to another group, it's underpaid, underrated, underdog. It's funny to me because there's no real balance.
Jeremy Lin
I realize I had to learn ... to stop chasing the perishable prizes of this earth ... and give my best effort unto God and trust Him with the results.
Jeremy Lin
And people are always saying he deceptively quick, deceptively athletic, and I don't know if that's just because I'm Asian or what it is, but obviously there's going to be stereotypes that you have to fight.
Jeremy Lin
It's the off-the-court spotlight in terms of having people look at you in terms of analyzing every little thing you do in your life, or having less privacy in your day-to-day activities, that's an area I need to get more accustomed to.
Jeremy Lin
My first dunk ever was in middle school. We were playing, me and my church friends, and I dunked it, and I swear I could not sleep that night.
Jeremy Lin
For me, when I get knocked down, I really try to get back up and go at it again. I don't like to give up.
Jeremy Lin
I just try to play as hard as I can every possession. If you're aware and you're high-energy, the ball will eventually bounce your way and you'll be able to make plays.
Jeremy Lin
Coming out of college into the draft, being Asian-American and being from Harvard, that's not going to be an advantage because of stereotypes.
Jeremy Lin
And when other people see me play basketball...the way I treat my teammates, the opponents, the refs, that's all a reflection of God's image and God's love so that's the stuff I try to focus on.
Jeremy Lin
You don't get better if you win all the time. You look at yourself more when you lose.
Jeremy Lin
I was playing garbage minutes the first two to three weeks. There was definitely a little bit of 'what's going on?' in my prayers.
Jeremy Lin
The change that I never fall into is the, 'I'm-above-you-look-at-me-do-stuff-for-me change.' The change that I'm hoping I get to is where I become wiser, smarter - where I put myself in situations that don't have a huge potential for disaster.
Jeremy Lin
I just think in order for someone to understand my game, they have to watch me more than once, because I'm not going to do anything that's extra flashy or freakishly athletic.
Jeremy Lin
I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.
