The story of Jeremy Lin’s rise to prominence in the NBA during the 2011–12 season—a time period affectionately known as Linsanity—is being made into a new documentary.
On Tuesday, HBO unveiled the trailer for the forthcoming film, titled 38 at The Garden, referring to Lin’s career-high performance against the Lakers on Feb. 10, 2012. The documentary will cover the guard’s time on the court with the Knicks, as well as the far-reaching cultural impact he made by reaching the heights of professional basketball as one of the few Asian Americans to play in the NBA.
The documentary will feature interviews with Lin, as well journalists Lisa Ling and Pablo Torre and comedians Hasan Minhaj, Ronny Chieng and Jenny Yang, all of whom will assess how Lin’s success was pivotal in dismantling negative stereotypes about Asian Americans. Former Knicks teammates Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert, among others, will speak about his play on the court.
