Jeremy Lin is Training the Next Generation of Asian American Basketball Players

Jeremy Lin’s playing days are nearing an end as he just finished his 15th pro season with the New Taipei Kings. Despite that, he is building on his legacy in a new way. Jeremy Lin is training the next generation of Asian American Basketball Players. The Mercury News reports that Lin recently hosted the JLIN NextGen Basketball Camp. Some of the top Asian American college basketball players attended his camp in Palo Alto.

Coaching is something that interests Lin:

“I definitely see myself getting into this space. To what degree or what that role looks like, I don’t know. But I will for sure be pouring into the next generation and sharing my thoughts. Hopefully, I can import some wisdom. This camp is a big first step. We’ve never done something like this. I guess this is somewhat of a transition for me from being a player to being a coach.”
