"What I see from Jeremy and what I hear in his interviews is he appreciates everything. He pursues his dream. His attitude is so peaceful, but there is strength to him. It is not a violent strength like fire or something aggressive. It is like the ocean, very peaceful, very quiet when you look at it. But you can never underestimate the power that is in there."

Yao hit the nail on the head. Kid is humble and peaceful, but at the same time he has major cajones and is tough as nails.

its everything. Shows the power of emotional control and spirituality. Kind of like Mariano its clear Lin gets great strength from his faith. He's a great example and turning into a great leader. Doesnt hurt to have a Harvard IQ

I like that, powerful like the ocean. I see a lot of that in Lin, the ocean.

But when he makes a big play, you see the fire too.

I think he's mostly ocean but also a good amount of fire; definitely not entirely ocean. So Yao is wrong with that.

I would say 70% ocean, 30% wildfire.
