There have been various changes in the rankings for the best NBA players in the current line-up in the league, and as usual, some have been moving up while others have gone down a few spots in their ranks. This is pretty standard for the NBA, and of course the release of those charts is an exciting event for many fans of the sport who’ve been waiting to find out how their favorite players have been performing.
Jeremy Lin has reportedly been ranked at #197 out of the 400 players included in the list – and while that’s still a long way from the top, he’s halfway there already and it’s clear that his progress hasn’t gone unnoticed. The player may be relatively new, but his performance has been enjoying a lot of attention in the press lately, while he’s also managed to build up a solid group of fans as well. Many people are excited to talk about the playing of Jeremy Lin right now, and if the player keeps climbing up in the ranks we will likely see him becoming even more popular.
His relatively low popularity in the context of his current team has also led to some amusing incidents related to people not recognizing Lin and causing minor trouble for him, but for the most part he’s been taking everything well and his career has been moving forward successfully. According to many commenters, Lin also has the great quality of knowing how to be humble and stay focused on his game instead of paying too much attention to his newfound fame.
This is a common mistake for some players who end up focusing on their fans too much, and while it’s obviously important to pay attention to one’s supporters, it’s also important to remember why the player became successful in the first place and why so many people are actively interested in his performance.
Lin has been handling all aspects of his playing very well so far, but it remains to be seen how he will handle his fame once it starts becoming more and more prominent. We wouldn’t be surprised if he continued his trend of being successful and performing well, and ends up climbing nearly to the top, and while there is probably still some time to go until then, it would be interesting to watch his progress as he’s going there.
Many of Lin’s fans are convinced that they can expect great things from the player in the future, and many experts on the sport seem to agree with them as well. Lin definitely is among the more capable players in the NBA, and he is one of those with the strongest potential to make his name stick in the news for a long time. We will not be surprised if we kept hearing about him quite often in the future, especially as the new season picks up.
It’s also worth noting that the player’s current setup is even more conductive to him realizing his full potential, and many have noted that Lin should be able to perform even better than he did in the last season due to the change of his setting and his coach. It’s true that he’s in objectively better hands now, but of course he must also take that potential and do something with it himself, but it does look like Lin is quite determined to get ahead of his peers as fast as possible.
