Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin, whose sudden rise to national attention coined the term “Linsanity,”<\/strong> shared his views about Pacquiao with GMA News earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“I think for him to talk about what’s important to him, I don’t think anybody should be able to say what he can or can’t say who he is as a person. As long as he’s trying to be real, that’s fine,” said Lin.<\/p>\n

In an interview last December with ESPN Magazine, Pacquiao said that he was a better fighter with God on his side.<\/p>\n

“What I can say is, if God is with you, who can be against you…All things are possible with God,” said Pacquiao.<\/p>\n

Lin’s remarks came not long after the release of the documentary “Linsanity,” which showcases his rise to stardom.<\/p>\n

Officially selected for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, “Linsanity” was released last week and follows Lin through many of the challenges he faced leading up to his 2012 season breakthrough.<\/p>\n

Lin’s words of encouragement for Pacquiao come as the boxer and politician prepares for a match against Brandon Rios in Macau in late November.<\/p>\n
