Jeremy Lin was in Orlando this weekend for the NBA's All-Star games. He spoke about his focus, and how he stays grounded when he gets away from the game.

Basketball's latest sensation, Jeremy Lin, was further thrust into the spotlight on the weekend at the BBVA Rising Star Challenge game during the NBA's All-Star Weekend in Orlando.

During a recent interview, Lin thanked his fans in China, and said he plans to visit there during the summer.

For now, he said, his focus is on helping his team, the New York Knicks, stay focused on the court so that they can win games.

Lin said he intends to rest a lot during the All-Star break to get ready for the second half of the season.

[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."

Earlier this month, Lin became a hero in New York, helping the Knicks win seven consecutive games and sparking "Linsanity", which has spread across the globe.

The 23-year-old Harvard graduate's sensational plays include his trademark pick-and-roll, which won the hearts of fans in America and Asia.
