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.

I love my family, I love my relatives. One special request I have is for the media back in Taiwan to kind of give them their space because they can't even go to work without being bombarded and people following them.

I'm a playmaker. I'm always attacking the rim and have somewhat of a reckless style. I try to be everywhere at once.

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.

I love eating junk food. I'm a huge snacker, chips and candy.
Jeremy Lin
Image
I get scared of a lot of attention. I get scared of the spotlight. And I'm not talking about on the basketball court.
Jeremy Lin
Image
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.

I'm not like the next Michael Jordan, but I'm also not what everyone saw me as before I started playing in the NBA, either.

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.
Jeremy Lin
Image
I'm very humbled and honored. I'm very thankful to the Asian-American Community for all their support!
