Former Knick and Net Jeremy Lin joined Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” on Thursday, combining several observances and topics into one powerful interview.

May is Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and Lin has been very outspoken of late about the increase in violence and prejudice against Asian-Americans since the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic. He discussed that in depth with Noah, but, of course, also had to reflect on Linsanity, and his message to the next generation of Asian-American players.

And, as this month is also Mental Health Awareness Month, Lin spoke about his anxiety issues, and the tools he learned to manage his pregame jitters.
