“Being an Asian American doesn’t mean we don’t experience poverty and racism," the Taiwanese-American player, who is part of the Golden State Warriors’ G League affiliate, Santa Cruz Warriors, said.“I just saw the post,” Kerr told reporters. “Really powerful. I applaud Jeremy for his words and echo his sentiments regarding racism against the Asian American community.”
Lin, who last year pledged up to $1 million to coronavirus relief efforts, said Asian Americans"are tired of being told to keep our heads down and not make trouble.” “We are tired of Asian American kids growing up and being asked where they’re REALLY from, of having our eyes mocked...We are tired of being invisible...or told our struggles aren’t as real,” Lin said in his social media post.
Lin began his NBA career with the Warriors in 2010 before moving to the Knicks, where he sparked what became known as “Linsanity” in the 2011-12 season. He also played with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks. In 2019, Lin became the first Asian American to win an NBA Championship, doing so with the Toronto Raptors.Nicole Acevedo is a reporter for NBC News Digital.
