I finally watched "38 at the Garden" the HBO doc about Jeremy Lin's rise to fame as an Asian American basketball player despite the racism that kept him from playing until that day the Knicks let him on the court.
The fame was short lived because of continued racism but also because he has a bad habit of often getting hurt because he played an all or nothing style of basketball.
And, ultimately, the racism forced him out of the NBA to play in China where he gets the 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!
