Jeremy Lins I Cant Breathe T-shirt But its also the first time that a player who was not black has worn one of the shirts. Point guard Jeremy Lin, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, joined his teammates... Lin complicates that relationship significantly. Lin has experienced his own forms of racism, most notably via the belief that athletes of Asian heritage cant compete at the highest levels of American sport. Yet that experience is far different from the issues that have compelled the I Cant Breathe outcry. Effectively, Lin has worn the short in support of the movement as a broader human issue, or at least to support his teammates as they make a statement about race relations. https://sports.yahoo/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/nearly-all-lakers-wear--i-can-t-breathe--shirts-for-warmups-vs--kings-064430936.html
