Jeremy Lin Humbled By President Obama's Praise

New York Knicks sensation point guard Jeremy Lin seemed overwhelmed by President Obama’s praise when speaking to reporters after leading his team to a seventh straight victory over the Sacramento Kings, according to USA Today.

"I'm very, very honored and very humbled," Lin told reporters. "I mean, wow, the President, nothing better than that."

Yesterday morning, it was reported that while aboard Marine One, President Obama had a discussion with White House Spokesman Jay Carney on how impressed he was with out-of-nowhere play of Jeremy Lin.  Last night, Lin helped lead the Knicks to their seventh straight win, establishing a career high record of 13 assists.
