Jeremy Lin Knicks Documentary Is Coming to HBO

Jeremy Lin

The documentary tracks Jeremy‘s historic NBA rise in 2012 – and all that “Linsanity” that ensued – including a particularly stellar night at Madison Square Garden.

Tribeca will host a conversation featuring Jeremy Lin and moderated by Hasan Minhaj about the perception of Asian-Americans in sports and racism in America.

Here’s more details, via Deadline: “Lin, an undrafted point guard who graduated from Harvard, shocked fans, stunned his teammates and galvanized Asians around the world with a string of inspired performances. Remarkably, the 38-point scoring outing referenced in the film’s title came against the LA Lakers and saw Lin outplay all-time NBA great Kobe Bryant. In addition to Lin, the film features interviews with Minhaj as well as journalists Lisa Ling and Pablo Torre and comedians Ronny Chieng and Jenny Yang, all of whom assess the cultural impact of Lin’s success. Former Knicks teammates Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert address his play on the court.”

The film is directed by Frank Chi. Travon Free and Samir Hernandez produced the film. Executive Producers include: Patricia Sun, Brandon Chu, Kai Huang, Mike Lee, Dave Lu and Paul Sri. HBO will air the movie on its linear networks and it will also stream on HBO Max this fall.

Several shows are going away from HBO MAX. Find out which ones just got cancelled.
