NBA Great Jeremy Lin on How He Grew Closer to God Despite This Being the "Toughest Year" of His Life

Leah Marieann Klett : Jul 1, 2015  The Gospel Herald

"The key to real success isn't about me—it's about Jesus." –Jeremy Lin

In a speech given at Hong Kong's Chinese University on Sunday, the 26-year-old Taiwanese-American athlete reflected on the past season, which he said didn't quite go as planned.

"During the first five games, how many did we win? That's right, zero," Lin said from the stage of the 1,438-seat auditorium. "After 20 games I was benched. We finished the season 21-61, which set a franchise record for the most losses."

Despite his team's lack of success, Lin explained that the difficult season only strengthened his relationship with Jesus Christ.

"The key to real success isn't about me—it's about Jesus," Lin said. "That's what I learned in the last season: success doesn't work around my little circle.

Lin, who is expected to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 after his three-years expires at the end of this season, added, "That was possibly the toughest year of my life. But one thing, to me, was that it really drew me closer to Christ. Sometimes you have to lose something to see and appreciate what you really have."
