The NBA is back! To celebrate, Andrew and I take a look back at Jeremy Lin's historic career through the documentary Linsanity. Can you believe it's been 10 years since he entered the NBA?? Time flies. We start with recalling our favorite memories from those crazy few weeks (10:01) and I break down how some league-defining events shaped his career for the worst. (13:47) Even with the NBA giving up on him, we admire how he took on the mantle as one of the faces of Asian America, even while he was constantly trying to prove himself in a league that always doubted him (18:34)

We can't talk about Jeremy and Linsanity without getting into Jeremy's faith. Having come from a similar religious background, Andrew thinks about how Jeremy's devotion fit into how he approached pivotal moments in his NBA career, and perhaps exacerbated some of the barriers he had to overcome. (23:22)

At (38:37), we start looking into the aftermath of Linsanity and how his success impacted the prospects of other Asian American ballers, and discuss the disparity of success for Asian Americans in team sports vs indiviual sports. (47:04) We finish off with some NBA bubble thoughts: who to watch out for, who can succeed, and of course, how the Lakers will continue their dominance.(1:03:48)
