Influence
Was Linsanity the start of something, or a phenomenon that will never be duplicated?

影響
Linsanity是開啟了偉大航道，又或者是不可複製的獨一無二？

Both, probably. When Lin came off the bench and took over the NBA for a few weeks in 2012, leading the woeful Knicks to a seven-game winning streak, there was no precedent for an Asian-American player playing such a dominant, spectacular role for an NBA team. What’s more, he did it in the world’s media capital, and his exploits resonated instantly in New York, from coast to coast and across the globe.

也許兩個皆是。當林在2012年從板凳席上站起並接管了NBA好幾個禮拜，帶領著當時戰績糟糕的尼克隊取得了七連勝之前，過去從沒有任何一位亞裔美國球員能在NBA球隊中打出如此具統治性、壯觀的角色。 更重要的是，他的成就是在紐約這個世界媒體之都達到的，讓他從東岸到西岸，甚至全球都立即地引起了廣大回響。

Though his career has taken several twists, Lin remains a popular and productive player when healthy, and he has done more than any player other than Yao Ming to force NBA observers to reconsider the talents of players of Asian heritage. — Royce Webb

儘管他的職業生涯已糟遇了幾次挫折，但當林健康時仍然是一位受歡迎且成果裴然的球員，他的表現已經超過了除了姚明之外的任何球員，迫使NBA球探們重新考量亞裔球員的天份。 – Royce Webb

 

ESPN推出NBA有史以來最有影響力改變比賽的球員林書豪排名75，

林書豪剛發出推特回應：

「無論你愛我或是恨我，都不能說我沒有改變NBA！能進入這份名單是一種榮幸！感謝那些一直在我身旁的球迷們，未來還有很多需要完成的事，相信我！#75」

Love me or hate me, but you can’t ever say I didn’t forever change the game!! To even be on this list is craaaazy! Love my fans who stuck by my side. There’s more to be done, more to come. Believe that!! #75https://t.co/Z8iaDak6oB

隨後一位球迷回覆林書豪道：「別管籃球了，你改變了我的人生！」對此林書豪寫道：「球迷的愛！很高興我能成為你人生中的一部分！」
