Brooklyn Nets guard Jeremy Lin said Kenyon Martin reached out to him and "was extremely apologetic" after Martin suggested last week that Lin shouldn't wear dreadlocks because he is Asian American.
"It was a great conversation. I think things were blown out of proportion, taken a little out of context as well. But me and him had a discussion where he was extremely courteous," Lin told reporters after the Nets' 117-83 preseason win over the New York Knicks. "Like, I'm actually impressed with how he handled everything. I'm thankful for the conversation we had, and I'm also sorry for some of the things he and his son kind of had to deal with in the aftermath [with fans writing insensitive comments on their social media page]."
Lin handled the entire thing with tremendous maturity and grace that I don't think most would have. He has forgiven Martin, they had a meaningful conversation, Martin apologized and Lin even felt sorry that the whole situation got out of hand and that Martin and his son were harassed on social media.
