Charlotte Hornets point guard Jeremy Lin has changed his hairstyle yet again, exchanging his spiky up-do for a slick backed, hair-tie.

Lin debuted his new look on Wednesday, when he took the floor for warmups before Charlotte's game against the Miami Heat.


Maybe the hair change acted as a good luck charm, as the Hornets made quick work of the Heat, beating them 99-81 and securing second place in the Eastern Conference.

While Lin had a relatively quiet game, the reserve guard had a great performance in Tuesday's rout of the Detroit Pistons, tallying 13 points on 5-10 from the field, along with 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

J-Lin has said often this season that Charlotte has provided a good fit for him, not only as a player, but as a person.

"It's not so much proving to other people as it is being free, having that happiness on the court again, as opposed to feeling put in a box," Lin said, according to Vice Sports. "It really was a lot more personal-play the way I'm capable of playing, do the things on the court that I could, versus anybody else's perception of me. Getting out on the court, feeling free to do the things I'm capable of doing-that was everything."

Lin is no stranger to pressure. Earlier this week, the Palo Alto native wrote a post on Facebook in reference to the Atlantic article on the "Silicon Valley Suicides."

"I remember not being able to sleep well on Sunday nights, waking up covered in sweat from nightmares that I had just failed a test," he wrote. "I dreaded Sundays because it meant I just finished my weekend basketball tournament - my precious outlet from academics - and now faced a whole week of immense pressure at school. I felt the pressure coming from all around me - my parents, my peers and worst of all, myself. I felt that I had one shot at high school and that my GPA, SAT score and college applications were the only barometers of my success."

When the undrafted guard from Havard made his way from the D-League to the New York Knicks bench in 2012, no one imagined he would be the catalyst for an insane winning streak that would leave sports media amazed and turn him into a household name.

Three years later, the "Linsanity" craze has died down, something that Lin seems to be more than fine with.

"Separating myself from my results is not an easy lesson and I've had to relearn this in every stage of my life," he added in the post. "The world will always need you to accomplish more, do more, succeed more. After I got into Harvard there was the pressure to get good grades and stand out at Harvard. After Linsanity there was the pressure to have great performances every night, to become an All-Star, to win championships. I still dream big and give my all in everything I do, but I know that success and failure are both fleeting."
