    • Quotes

      Jeremy Lin: I'm just out there having fun and playing a game, I can have bad games and you know they may not like me or they may boo me, but there's a lot more important things in life than just basketball because at the end of the day basketball is just a game. What happened to me is just a story, I mean it wasn't like I knew I'd come off that bench and just do that, I really didn't I thought I could play on this level and I thought I could play at this level I didn't feel that would happen and some of those experiences out there when I was on the court, I felt like I was being controlled by something else, I felt like I was having an out of body experience. Some of the plays I made some of the wins we've had were just so out of this world that I still have to pinch myself to really believe it

    Inspirational, Emotional, and Incredible
    I have no idea how this film can get such a low overall review score. It is by far one of the best films I've seen in the past two decades. What makes it even more exciting is that director Evan Leong and his team started filming way before all the Linsanity hype.

    Jeremy Lin's story is not just about basketball, it illustrates determination, work ethic, and true resilience in realizing one's dreams. I would recommend this film to people of all ages. It's unfortunate that it is only playing at select theaters, however, I noticed that Amazon and some other sites have an online stream available for purchase - Even though I have seen the film at the Canadian Premiere screening, I am going to watch it again without a doubt. A great underdog story showcasing one of the greatest - yet most humble - players in the NBA. Keep on inspiring Jeremy Lin.
