| Message | Jeremy Lin's ambition to make his NBA dreams a reality is a lesson to everyone who loves a sport but is considered an underdog. As an Asian-American, Lin proves that even today athletes have to face racial discrimination and taunts. He overcomes the insults and racial epithets to concentrate on the game and help his team. The documentary shows how discipline, family support, and self-confidence all play important roles in how to succeed at a sport. |
| Role model | Lin seems incredibly self-aware and humble. He has a strong sense of faith and considers his talent a gift from God. He is close to his family and even attended his younger brother's college basketball games after his phenomenal overnight success story. Despite his meteoric rise to fame, he manages to remain focused on enjoying the fact that his dream of starting on an NBA team has come true. |
| Language | Infrequent language, but it includes the many racial slurs and taunts Lin heard while playing, including "Chinaman," "chink," "slant eyes," "Go back to China," and "Can you see out of those eyes?" |
| Consumerism | Occasional shots of Nike apparel and sports memorabilia, particularly of Lin's jersey from his time with the New York Knicks. |
