Along side names like Pete Cashmore, Tim Tebow, Rihanna, Warren Buffett, Hillary Clinton and Raphael Saadiq. Linsanity maker Jeremy Lin was selected for the annual TIME magazine 100 most influential people in the world list. HUGE! Here is what they had to say of his selection to the exclusive honor.
“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. 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,”
What makes this selection even more insane, is that Oprah Winfrey who spent nine straight years previously on the list was left off. To view the entire list, check out TIME magazine.
