《時代》年度全球百大影響力人物榜：林書豪第一

《時代》雜誌18日時代正式發榜 2012 The 100 Most Influential People in the World，小林第一。

在之前的popularity 投票時，林書豪以近9萬的票數，處於在2012年全球百大人物(TIME 100)公眾投票結果的第9位。不過,在《時代》雜誌編輯綜合加權後，林書豪在最終結果中位列榜首。時代周刊將小林列入“爆發人物”的類別。

看來Linsanity 真是影響巨大哈，小林不僅改變了人們對於美國亞裔控衛不能打好NBA的刻板印象，而且集一個世界級球員和一個好學生於一身，他勤奮努力、謙卑誠懇，做人和打球都很成功。他的故事告訴大家，隻要你充分展示你的grit, discipline and integrity，你就有機會獲得成功。

轉篇Time 100 林的專題 article：By ARNE DUNCAN，the U.S. Secretary of Education （據說是Harvard的校友，真給力哈）：

Jeremy Lin's story is a great lesson for kids everywhere because it debunks and defangs so many of the prejudices and stereotypes that unfairly hold children back. He's dispelled the idea that Asian-American guards somehow couldn't hack it in the NBA — and that being a world-class athlete on the court is somehow at odds with being an excellent student off the court.

Contrary to what you might read, Jeremy, 23, is no overnight sensation. In fact, he achieved success the old-fashioned way: he earned it. He worked hard and stayed humble. He lives the right way; he plays the right way.

It's great to see good values rewarded in professional sports because that's not always the case. Often it's the bling, the glam, the individual that gets celebrated — not the team and working together to advance a goal bigger than oneself. Jeremy cares only about one thing — winning. And I don't care whether you are an Asian-American kid, white, black or Hispanic, Jeremy's story tells you that if you show grit, discipline and integrity, you too can get an opportunity to overcome the odds.
