Former NBA player JLin7 talks about COVID-19 — and the racism Asian Americans have faced during the pandemic. “Even when I was going to the grocery store, it became so clear that, like, yeah, people were looking at me a certain type of way,' he says.

After winning an NBA championship with the Raptors last season, Jeremy Lin signed with the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association.

"Even when I was going to the grocery store, it became so clear that, like, yeah, people were looking at me a certain type of way. And I wasn't comfortable at all."And so, yeah, it's definitely one of my big regrets. But I think a blessing in disguise is that it allowed me to kinda launch myand to have a deeper conviction. I guess it's not great that it came from not having conviction at all in the beginning, but at least the conviction came eventually.

"Going to the grocery store and being afraid for your health is very different than going to a basketball game and getting racist remarks thrown at you."And on top of that, I would say the court is — you're talking about verbal. And even online, that's verbal. But this is physical.

KG: And it also gave you a lot of time to think. So what conclusions did you start to reach as you had all this time — these 14 days?
