today Jeremy Lin announced his decision on social media.

"I want to tell you directly, I decided that I will not go back to Shougang to play this year. This decision is really the hardest decision in my life. It took me four weeks. I have not been able to sleep for these two or three weeks. , I get up every four or five in the morning, always thinking, always thinking, always thinking. But in the end, I don’t know, I just feel that although Shougang treats me very, very well, my teammates and my coach President Qin (Xiaowen Qin), President Qin gave me everything I want. But in the end I still feel that I have an NBA dream. I still have time to play, so I have to chase it. I know many fans, no matter what I was injured, traded, and failed. You all support me. Then you always encourage me and keep telling me,'Never done (not over)', then I feel this belief, believe in the way of God, believe that God gave me this Talent should be right. Then I have to be brave to chase this dream. But why is this decision so difficult? When I shared with my family and friends yesterday, I was saying that I need to leave China and I cried. Tears. Because I know this is such a special year, I can play with Shougang for a year, this is true, I will never forget, I can see these fans every day, I am really touched. So, very difficult I just want to say, thank you everyone, I love you, but this decision is something I must make."
