    Found it kind of boring, and I love Jeremy.

    Jeremy has a great story here, but the director did a pi.ss poor job of telling it. Movie needed more conflict, better character development plot, more surprises, higher highs and lower lows. Movie seemed more like someone's senior college project.

    Watched it in the theater in a film festival, loved it. Watched it online again, still love it.

    Will watch it in the theater again if given the chance (it's still screening in a number of cities). It's a different experience watching it on the big screen - the crowd at MSG was incredible.

    I think this what the ultimate goal of the Linsanity documentary presents and that is breaking barriers, not only on the Asian-American side but the Chinese side is even more glaring. What I mean by that is, how does Jeremy Lin get so far into the NBA? yet China has a even bigger pool of talent yet not one even guard came close to Jeremy's success. So his story is a reminder to them that something may not be right either.

    There's certain intangibles such as work ethic, perseverance, and good developing support system that Lin did receive at one point or another combined with his love for the game that makes it more remarkable and is a good reminder to those who questioned if it was even possible, whether we want to include race or not.

    Daniel Dae Kim, also the Narrator, I think gives a good opinion on how he viewed Jeremy Lin's story.

    Just watched it thanks for the link. On thing is for sure, he's a competitor and it must be killing him not to be a starter.

    From what he said during his testimony in Taiwan this summer I don't think he's letting it get to him. He has played really well off the bench and I think he's handling pressure a lot better. The documentary didn't cover his first year with the Rockets which really was another career challenge for him. He came in thinking he was going to be the man but then we get Harden right before the start of the season and he still had to deal with coming back from injury and pressure from expectations.

    If you haven't watched the testimony, here it is:

    I'm not really religious or anything but in the video he really opens up about some of what he went through last year and how he's trying to overcome that.

    I think how well he's played this season show's that what he's been working on, physically and mentally, has improved.

    LOHs/ABJs are worse than LOFs.
