Newest Los Angeles Lakers point guard Jeremy Lin recently revealed what future NBA HOF Kobe Bryant told him in regards to hosting his Fan Appreciation Week from August 4 to August 8.

"We'd exchange texts, I was in Shanghai at the time, we've talked a little bit here or there." said Lin to reporters in reference to Bryant's message, according to an IB Times report, "The one thing he told me is 'We have a lot of work to do' and I think that's 100 percent accurate. As long as we come in with that mindset of really having to work and earn everything, I think we'll be okay.

Lin was traded (along with a 2015 first and second round pick) by the Houston Rockets to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for the rights to Sergei Lishouk on July 13, 2014.

"The thing I like about Jeremy is that he's feisty," said new Lakers Head coach Byron Scott to Basketball Insider's writer Alex Kennedy in a recent interview, "He's tough. He competes. I've coached against him in a number of games, so I know how he is. He's a competitor. The point guard position in this league today, on the defensive end, is vital."

Jeremy Lin is currently hosting his 2^nd Annual Fan Appreciation Week this week, highlighted by fans getting the opportunity to win a prize after sending their best videos on Instagram this Wednesday.

Tomorrow, Lin will host a Q-and-A session on Facebook and Weibo.

On August 8, The devout Christian athlete will preside over an art contest to close out this year's Fan Appreciation Week.

Previously, Lin hosted a photograph caption challenge on August 4, before he gave his Twitter fans a multiple choice quiz on Tuesday.

After this week, Lin will be solely concentrating on his upcoming first season with the Lakers to try and bring a NBA title back to Los Angeles.

"I had the opportunity to play with Carmelo, James Harden and Kobe. I can learn a lot from him," said Lin, according to Lakers Nation website.
