Jeremy Lin's numbers were approximately the same this season as they were last season, but he was unable to duplicate his three-week 'Linsanity' streak.

Lin signed a three-year, $25.1 million contract with the Houston Rockets in the offseason that the New York Knicks declined to match.

“It seems like everybody’s perception of me is very bipolar,” Lin said. “To one group, it’s overpaid, overrated; to another group, it’s underpaid, underrated, underdog. It’s funny to me because there’s no real balance. Why can’t I just be a young player who’s shown some potential and has a lot of learning to do?”
