With all the media attention, all the love from the fans, I felt I needed to prove myself. Prove that I'm not a marketing tool, I'm not a ploy to improve attendance. Prove I can play in this league. But I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.
Jeremy Lin

With pro-gaming that's one of the toughest parts - living game to game.

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.
