The best month of Jeremy Lin's professional career took him to Orlando on Friday evening.

The NBA's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent, shared his incredible month during a press conference at All-Star weekend before he took the court to play in the Rising Stars game.

Lin was a late addition to Shaquille O'Neill's side to take on a select group to young All-Stars selected by Charles Barkley.

The Knicks point guard still is attempting to overcome the stereotypes of his unlikely rise to NBA stardom.

Lin has averaged 14 points a game and just under six assists since he was brought into the New York Knicks starting line-up on February 4th.

From the moment he was brought into the New York lineup, Lin has captivated the Knick and NBA fan base with a series of outstanding, and surprising performances.

In Lin's last 10 games games Lin has scored on average 21 points per game.

New York are 13-8 since Lin joined the starting rotation.

Lin said at today's press conference that he is still in disbelief at all the attention he is receiving, and hopes the attention will soon be spread throughout his team mates.
