Say it isn't so!!! 🤬
#JeremyLin announced his retirement from playing professional basketball today.🥺
Thanks for the memories, Jeremy.👏👏👏
Here's a great article with a lot of great pics & clips in it about Jeremey's career & retirement:
I finally watched "38 at the Garden" the HBO doc about Jeremy Lin's rise to fame as an Asian American NBA basketball player despite the racism that kept him from playing until that day the Knicks finally let him on the court.
The fame was short lived because of continued racism but also because he had the unfortunate habit of often getting hurt too often because he played an all-or-nothing style of basketball that he felt he needed to do to "prove" himself on the court.
After 9 years, the racism ultimately forced him out of the NBA despite outplaying younger players in the D League to go & play in China where he gets the $ and respect he deserves.
But for "15 mins" Jeremy excited the WORLD and gave hope and impiration to Asian Americans across the country.
Thank-you, Jeremy!
I still have your Knicks jersey and I f*cking hate the Knicks!!! LOL! 🤣
