Description
1 game. 38 points. The birth of a legend. In 2011, no one knew or cared about an NBA player named Jeremy Lin. In early 2012, however, that changed, as Lin stunned opposition teams, fans, and the world alike with a series of brilliant on court performances for the New York Knicks. And chief among them were the 38 points Lin scored against the mighty LA Lakers at Madison Square Garden on 10th February 2012. Success did not come easy for Lin. As Frank Chi, director of new HBO documentary, 38 at the Garden, tells Matthew Sherwood, Lin had to fight stereotypes about what Asian Americans were capable of before he got his chance. And even then, only a stroke of luck put him on the road to Linsanity... In this episode of Factual America, join Matthew and Frank as they discuss the career of the man whose brilliance on the court destroyed prejudice, built up hope, and left a legacy rich in glory and empowerment. “The movie is about an impossible moment... A moment when society at large assigns to a group of people, saying you can't do this, and then someone comes out of nowhere and just shatters that to pieces." – Frank Chi Watch the episode at https://factualamerica.com Resources: 38 at the Garden Innersound Audio Alamo Pictures Connect with Frank Chi Twitter Instagram IMDb Connect with Matthew Sherwood: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Connect with Factual America: Facebook Instagram Twitter More from Factual America: Facing Nolan Ryan, the Baseball Legend Neymar: The Perfect Chaos – The Director's Perspective Dear Rider: Snowboarding Legend Jake Burton
