[Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks Point Guard]:

"I'll be able to get ready for second half of the season. I make sure I get away when I need to get away, spend time with family and friends, make sure I read the Bible and remind myself, you know, what I'm living for, what I'm playing for. And then once I get that rest, once I get away, I can feel energized and get right back into it and continue working and getting better."
