“I’ve had so many of my amazing opportunities were taken away through extenuating circumstances. But right now I still have more opportunities,” Lin said in a documentary to mark the release of his Xtep One signature shoes earlier this month.

Lin, who signed with the Chinese sports brand last August ahead of moving to the Beijing Ducks, is hoping to return to the NBA for the upcoming season which begins on December 22.

“I still have tomorrow and I still have this next season and my goal is to prepare and come out and just dominate and you know I’m coming in with this ‘nothing will stop me’ mentality.”

“I’m chasing this. I want to be the best version of myself as a basketball player. And as a human. I want to be the best version of myself.”
