"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"

This quote by Jeremy Lin speaks with the pressure he felt to show himself in the NBA. With all the media attention and love from the fans, he felt he had to reveal that he was not simply a marketing tool or tactic to improve attendance, however that he could really play in the league. He remained in a fight with what everybody else thought of him, but he has because given up that to God. This suggests that he has found peace in his faith and is no longer worried about what others think of him. He is now focused on his own efficiency and is positive in his capabilities. This quote is a testimony to his strength and determination to succeed despite the chances.
