Zitate und Sprüche von Jeremy Lin

I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody.

If I had a day to myself I would just play video games with my brothers.

I'm not playing for other people; if I start thinking in those terms I would put too much pressure on myself. I play basketball because that is what I love to do.

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.

Failure for me, is not giving myself the best chance to succeed.

California has officially announced that jaywalking is now no longer a crime. So congratulations to the Californians who like walking places. This is great news for the six of you.

New Mexico. It's another state. I mean, it's like California, just less traffic.

We all have our little faults. Mine's in California.

All creative people should be required to leave California for three months every year.

Helsinki may not be as cold as you make it out to be, but California is still a lot nicer. I don't remember the last time I couldn't walk around in shorts all day.

The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion real live here in only the most temporary way.

Things are tough all over, cupcake. An' it rains on the just an' the unjust alike... except in California.

I read the Life magazine articles about free love and free dope in California. At age 20 I drove to Los Angeles.

I don't rate Heat fans like I rate Knicks fans. We are true basketball fans. No matter what - rain, sleet or snow, or even if we don't make it to the playoffs for 10 years - the Garden stands are still full.

All the teams in the NBA will not be playing basketball on Election Day. And the Knicks were like, "Oh, no problem we don't play basketball every day, that's just what we do."

The house still passed a gun-control bill. The only problem is that everyone already knows that it has zero chance of passing in the senate. Which has got to be rough for the house. You work so hard on something that you know is going to lose. They're like the New York Knicks of legislation.

This was on my vision board. To run out there and be hitting game winners, getting the fans riled up. When they're stomping on the floor yelling "New York Knicks" - that's a great feeling.

Samantha: "I don't get laid, unless the Knicks win. Can I just say? They and I have been on a very long losing streak."
Carrie: "That's awful."
Samantha: "No kidding. The Knicks are the only ones getting screwed!"

If I'm able to get drafted by the New York Knicks, it would be a blessing.

The reality is, I don't care about the Knicks' feelings.

The Knicks, they're a very talented team.

Basketball isn't just a sport. It is an art, one that must be mastered to succeed.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Success is all about having the confidence to shoot for something even if it seems impossible.

The secret behind success isn't as much of a secret as people think. It's pretty simple. It's working as hard as you can to accomplish what you want.

Walk until the darkness is a memory, and you become the sun on the next traveler's horizon.

There's a lot of players who, especially today, do all of these fancy ball handling drills and work on using a million different moves, none of which they'll be able to actually do in a game. It was refreshing to watch Sabrina play, who just thought the game at a different level.

I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough.

We went from a shitty team to one of the all-time best dynasties. All you needed was one little match to start that whole fire.

Walked into a restaurant yesterday and guy comes up and says: "Aren't you Rik Smits?"
Not quite but I appreciated his hoops knowledge…

German friends that come visit always buy jerseys. I say, "hold on let me get a sharpie", and they say, "oh no. That's ok. This is actually Luka's. Do you mind getting it signed?"

You guys are better people than players - that means a lot!

I love the Philippines. But they need better beer!

It's a great run, we'd had a wonderful time. Good Team. Time to go.

There are certain sports figures who become a larger cultural force. Michael Jordan and the Bulls changed the culture.

You're only concerned if you know you don't have it. We have it.

We cancelling sporting events, school, office work, etc etc. What we really need to cancel is 2020! Damn it's been a rough 3 months. God bless and stay safe.

I learned a lot I wouldn't have learned roaming the streets of Dallas.

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.

My kids are older now. They're kinda upset with me. They're not really upset, but they don't understand. I tell them all the time: "We" ain't rich. "I'm" rich.

I'm not worried about facing the Sacramento Queens. Write it down. Take a picture. I'm not going to talk about this all year. When I get back, there's going to be trouble.

I want to become one of the best players, so if you want to be one the best, you have to elevate all aspects of your game.

If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that's what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that's what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don't try to be authentic and real with themselves.
