Instead of calling young Asian players “the next Jeremy Lin” or “Yao Ming,” he hopes there will be “so much representation that just because you’re Asian doesn’t mean you’re pigeonholed to the one Asian player.”
More than three years after he played for the Toronto Raptors and became the first Asian American to win an NBA championship, Lin walked the streets where he celebrated the first title in franchise history. He said it was an emotional experience that filled him with “a lot of love, reflection and gratitude.”
“Eventually, it won’t be such a novelty … and that’s a big part of trying to create opportunities for the next generation,” he said. “Basketball has done more in terms of teaching me how to be a person than anything else,” Lin said, crediting the sport for helping him learn “communication, leadership, teamwork, resilience and perseverance” from an early age — all values he hopes to instill in young ballers of Asian descent.
Liu, who has become a leading advocate for Asian American representation in Hollywood, said people's sense of belonging is inextricably linked to how they are portrayed in the media. “I just think, ‘How incredible would it have been to have people to look up to aspirationally when I was younger?’ I’m very honored to be playing a part in that conversation now and, hopefully, in a way that holds the door open for others,” he said.
