Jeremy Lin breaks down over NBA free agency: 'it just keeps getting more rock bottom'

A tearful Jeremy Lin said he has hit rock bottom as the 30-year-old former NBA phenom struggles to catch on with a team in free agency after winning a championship this summer with the Toronto Raptors. Speaking to a Christian group in Taipei, Taiwan on Sunday, Lin said he feels the NBA has given up on him and admitted he faces an uncertain future. Lin was part of the Toronto Raptors team that won the NBA championship, but the struggling and oft-injured guard was benched for the playoffs. He said he was embarassed not to have made a contribution and didn't feel he earned the title of NBA champion. Lin said if he ever has a son, he hopes he will not make the NBA, where your "life and failures are on display to the entire world".  But Lin hoped his speech would motivate others to not give up in the face of adversity.
