JEREMY LINS POST-SURGERY Q&A WITH HIS FANS
Jeremy Lin: Just woke up. Lets do this Q&A before I get on my video games, LOL!
Angela: When I heard you would be out for six weeks, I just started crying, to be honest. I already miss you so much being on the court! Anyway, my question is whats your biggest pet peeve? 🙂
Jeremy: My biggest pet peeve is ordering fast food and not being able to eat it until I get home, LOL. Especially when it smells so good and is just sitting there in the passenger seat.
Luis: What videogame are you going to play?
Jeremy: Im gonna play Dota 2 with my brothers. Just got it installed the other day!
Kar Tse: You gonna be back for playoffs?
Jeremy: I hope Ill be back for the playoffs! Its killing me to watch the team without being able to play, but I need to make sure my knee is 100% before I get back on the court, so we will wait and see.
Deanna: Did you know my boyfriend loves you more than he loves me? LOL!
Jeremy: Thats not true! But please tell him thanks for the support. If he supports me hardcore, you know hes a keeper, LOL. Just kidding!
Ryan: How do you stay so humble?
Jeremy: I struggle with pride every day, but the one thing that I try to remind myself is that Im still a sinner, no matter how many points/assists/wins I get on the court. Gods grace and the death/resurrection of his son Jesus Christ has given me salvation, even though Im not worthy of it.
Lila: What is your favorite book of the Bible? And verse?
Jeremy: I love Romans. Especially Romans 5:3-5, or all of Romans 8
Joy: Favorite Pokemon?
Jeremy: My favorite Pokemon growing up was Blastoise LOL. Hes a beast!
Adasand: Were you afraid of the surgery?
Jeremy: Yes, Im deathly afraid of needles. Getting the IV in me earlier today was hard work for all the nurses, ha ha.
Justice: Can you come to Korea to chill?
Jeremy: Im hoping to make it to Korea and Japan this summer for the first time ever. My best friends Korean, and his mom makes the most unbelievable Korean BBQ ever.
Christopher: Whats your favorite part of NYC?
Jeremy: My favorite part of NYC is the fans and playing at MSG. The energy that the fans give us is unreal, and unlike any other arena.
Sogreen: Hey! How many times has Landry beat you in Monopoly?
[Ed.: Jeremy and Landry Fields play iPad Monopoly against each other while on flights to visiting cities]
Jeremy: He beat me quite a few times he always seems to get Boardwalk/Park place. I think the game cheats!
Ake: Do you have ill feelings toward those who pull you down? What would you want to tell them?
Jeremy: Nope, everyone gets their own opinion, and I respect that. I just want God to be happy with my effort and my heart, every time I step on the court!
Qing: What was your dream when you were a kid?
Jeremy: Playing in the NBA, which is what Im doing right now. Such a blessing and a dream come true!
Franky: Can I dunk on you?
Jeremy: I dont plan on letting that happen, but if you wanna be a good sport like KevJumba Id love to dunk on you, LOL.
Nishan: Whats your biggest fear in life?
Jeremy: Looking back and feeling like I wasted my life living for the wrong reasons. And also needles.

Kaolag: Sushi or steak?
Jeremy: Thats a tough question. Depends on the day, but my three favorite foods are sushi, steak and seafood
Apple: Do you like animals? Dogs or cats ?
Jeremy: Dogs all the way. When i was young, I saw a cat run into my backyard and rip my favorite Nerf ball in half, but I was too young/scared to chase the cat away.
Anthony: How long do you need to stay in the hospital?
Jeremy: Im already back home!
Elaine: Orange juice or apple juice?

Yan: Who is updating your Weibo?
[Ed.: Weibo is China's clone of Twitter]
Jeremy: Me, but I need help translating some of my updates into Chinese.
Stephen: How/when are you going to start rehabbing?
Jeremy: Rehab starts tomorrow. Lots of ice, stretching, muscle activation. Then, eventually, biking, swimming, running. Then finally, shooting, cutting and jumping.
To all the girlfriend questions: No, I dont have a girlfriend right now. To all the prom questions, Im sorry I cant go to any proms! I will still be rehabbing, practicing and at Knicks games, LOL.
Bill: Would you fight a tiger for an NBA championship?
Jeremy: No, because the tiger would kill me and Id never get to the part about the NBA championship. I would fight a snail though.

Dorothy: Did you play a musical instrument while growing up?
Jeremy: Piano. But I wish Id played the triangle, ha ha.
Chichiger: Chocolate chip cookies or sugar cookies?

Sharmin: What is one thing youve always wanted to do, but have never gotten the chance?
Jeremy: Water ski or jet ski.
Bobby: You turn it over too much. How you gonna fix that?
Jeremy: Well, I can tell you I will definitely have zero turnovers for the next six weeks. So I guess thats an improvement, right?
Yi-An: Are you afraid of cockroaches?
Jeremy: YES. Cockroaches, bees, all insects. I can deal with ants though, haha.
May: Do you play Super Smash Bros. Brawl? ^_~
Jeremy: I spent a good chunk of my childhood playing Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo 64, but never really played much Brawl.

Thanks to you guys who make MSG the best arena, and thanks to all the NY media/beat writers for all your hard work in getting information to the fans. Good night!

A friend of mine, MIT engineering grad student Ryan Ko, compiled a quick script to analyze the 8,300-plus questions asked by Jeremys fans during his epic Q&A.
In addition to a dozen requests to go to prom, he received 43 unique marriage proposals (several individuals asked him multiple times, including a particularly persistent fan named Danna who asked him 45 times).
Proposal formats included exploratory (Would you ever marry a black girl?); sneaky (Do you think you will be in good condition for the playoffs? And will you marry me?); logical (I hope youre feeling well! & sorry to all the other ladies, but I think its only right that we get married, since were both from Cali and now live in NY obviously?); illogical (I saw our names next to each other! Its fate lets get married!); patient (Hey, I waited since you tweeted about the Q&A. Will you marry me?); impatient (Can we get married today or tomorrow?; polite (Jeremy can we get married? Please?); poetic (Will you marry me, Jeremy? LOL it rhymes); demanding (Jeremy Lin: I love Asian men. Marry me now!); and proxy-propositioned (Will you marry my sister?). One woman was aware that the path to a ballers heart is through his stomach: If we got married id make you lobster, your favorite! And another was more concerned about her boyfriends mancrush: All the girls are asking you to marry them, but Im going to ask you to say no to my BF when he asks you, kthanks.
About 100 people asked him about videogames (97 of them male) around half of them challenging him with various levels of aggressiveness: Play me in Dota scrub! NO MORE Q&A, START WRECKING US IN VIDEO GAMES! I shall teach you the ways of Smash Bros. Brawl! Me, you, Starcraft, now.
We hope you do another Q&A soon, Jeremy! And message us your gamertag!
