I wonder just how many racial slurs Jeremy Lin had to endure on the court throughout his life. To the hoopers he faced, an East Asian man competing at such a high level must have been a walking target for racial taunts.

I was like how is that beef 10 years ago until I remembered that covid happened 6 full years ago, and Heatles’ last title was 13 years ago.

Squash their beef? Do you mean Martin apologizes for being a blatant racist?

Lin never had beef

Lin’s response was so damn good.

That Harvard slap back hits different

Calling it “beef” as if it wasn’t just Kenyon being a dickhead lol

Jeremy Lin is looking cool as fuck in that photo - dude aged well

Jeremy Lin saw the tweet and let Kenyon Martin have it. The most fitting use of that meme template “I’m about to end this man’s whole career”

“misunderstanding”

👀 ?

There was no misunderstanding, or it was completely 1-sided anyway. KMart was a certified dumbfuck for that.

Beef? Lol Lin had no issues it was small dick Kenyon who got insecure because of some dead cells.

insane it’s been 10 years. Felt like it was 2-3 years ago. Also Lin hasn’t aged.

Leave it Kenyon to claim an individual isn’t allowed to have a certain hairstyle. As an Asian American, the racism my community feels from black Americans is not talked about enough.

This is bs. Whatever beef they had, it  was squashed when Lin tore his patella and Martin was one of the first to text him and offer any help in his recovery. 

Hey, something good actually came out of All Star Weekend. That’s a W.

Kenyon Martin was just displaying his ignorance.

In pickup games after each bucket, I was called the following

2002 - Fuck yeah Yao Ming 2002 -2004 Summer - Nice handles Yuta Tabuse 2011-2012 - Gimme Lin, Jeremy Lin, you’re on my team

Well they squashed it awhile ago. After Jeremy’s response, Kenyon reached out and apologized. I respect that Kenyon reached out tbh. They handled it well.

They squashed the beef right after that incident. Kenyon reached out to him when Lin ruptured his patellar.

This is just low-level racial bait posting to get white supremacy subs and AznIdentity brigaders to tag along as always on this subreddit. Reddit is so predictable.

Any race conversations on Reddit is a losing battle. I see some of yall fighting for your life in the comment sections.

Hey Adam silver, fuck you

It sounds like Jeremy won this argument a decade ago by simply not being an ignorant douchebag.

I think it’s important to note that while KMart’s comment was pretty out of pocket, Lin’s response was incredibly measured, grounded and polite.

I still laugh at how much of a clown KMart came off looking with his comments.

If I were Lin I would’ve taken that beef to my grave.

jlins fit is immaculate

Jeremy Lin lookin at him like yeah, Chinese tattoo

Fuck where has time gone, can’t believe that was a decade ago

Another thread where y’all talk about how racist black people are but next time an actual serious race issue pops up and a black person is victim we’ll get the opposite reaction

What was annoying were Kenyon Martin defenders saying he wasnt racist because black people cant be racist, yet would say Lin was racist for having dreads.

Nobody owns a hairstyle

Kenyon is probably the least likable person in the world

I remember when this first happened. The lack of understanding on what cultural appropriation and appreciation were really lit this sub on fire. I’m glad they reconciled but it really reminded me that it would take something as insignificant as this to send people over the edge and say horrible, racist things to each other.

Being an asshole to an Asian is just a “misunderstanding”.

The beef was one sided only Kmart was an asshole iirc

Martin just said racist shit, there was no “misunderstanding”

Kmart is a clown

Quash

Lin destroyed Martin so hard in that “beef”

Love how Lin doesn’t have the dreads anymore but Kenyon still got the tattoos lol

“misunderstanding” bro that wasn’t a misunderstanding, Kenyon is just a moron

We’re serving beef and squash

Idk if I would call it a misunderstanding. Kmart was being an ass for no reason and Lin killed him with kindness and logic

There was no misunderstanding. Martin was being a complete jackass and Lin corrected him far more politely than he deserved.

I would like to know Wu Tang Clan’s opinion on this topic.

Good cause this beef was so unnecessary.

God I remember when this happened. I feel old as time flies by.

Everyone can wear dreads

This is a pic of them talking. I bet Martin just approached him. No telling if anything was actually “squashed”

Too late. All the racism he faced fucked up his time in the nba

Many minority people become racist, when they are part of a majority

Kenyon Martin lacking self-awareness? Color me shocked!

Hope the conversation was Kenyon apologizing to Lin.

I don’t think the author of this knows what the word misunderstanding means

Weird way to spell “apologies for being a racist asshole”

Why did I remember this being with DLo instead of

J Lin looking healthy, you love to see it

Outside of the majority gets compared to the most popular player of the same race that person can think of. I was always steve nash or larry bird.

I remember this. KMart said the quiet part out loud 🤷‍♂️

The most millennial beef ever.

Peace in the Middle East vibes

It’s only racist when people try to “be black” but it’s not when you have Chinese tattoos, got it.

I didn’t care then and don’t care now

I remember when Riley took over the Lakers coaching at 36 and he is now 80!

thats nice, could probably have a private conversation in that empty arena

Kenyon martin looked soooooooo stupid (before and) after Lin pointed out the Chinese tattoos. That’s honestly fuckin hilarious
