I first heard about Jeremy Lin’s amazing story from the taxi driver who gave me a ride to the airport last Friday on my way to Vegas for an audition. As he shared Jeremy’s story with me, I thought, “Wow! I am another one of those stories in the making right now.” I am an Asian-American also…a singer/songwriter! I have recorded three country CDs with Nashville pros in the pursuit of my music dreams. Now how many Asians do you see in country music? Or on the American music scene in general? While I started in country music, I don’t want to put myself in a box because I sing a variety of music. And lately it’s mantras that I’m recording. From country to mantras, I’m sharing my message of love with the world. Someday, Simon, I hope you’ll be blogging about my success story. Thank you for sharing your inspirational blog posts! Feel free to connect with me on Facebook.

I’m not interested in watching basketball but I love watching it when Jordan and Rodman are playing. That was years ago and I’ve stopped watching since they were gone. Now I have a new reason to watch NBA and something to look forward to.

Being an Asian, I automatically felt related to the successes of Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin. Too bad NBA did not give you the same chance they gave to Jeremy and Yao.

Now, I know him, he is delivering his all effort for his dream. Once is a lifetime. Lin, you are my man!

Indeed, this is a very inspiring story of a Christian Asian guy! As we go along the valley of challenges and trials, may we assured ourselves of what the Almighty can do for us. And may I have the courage to take my first step to go forward.

As a former colleague of Simon’s at the NBA, I remember hearing these same stories years ago when we worked together. Racism didn’t just happen on the NBA courts either, if you can understand what I mean. Simon worked harder than anyone in the group to “prove” his ability, even thought his ability and passion was easily seen by anyone willing to look past a skin color.

Simon, I am happy for you and all of my Asian friends who can identify with the struggle Jeremy has gone through! Let it me a lesson that judging the inside, by the outside, is usually a big mistake.

How can’t any true hoops fan not think of Rudy Tomjanovich’s famous quote, “Never underestimate the heart of a Champion!”

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Simon!
