Brooklyn Nets point guard Jeremy Lin added himself to the list of supporters of Stephen Curry's decision not to attend the White House visit, as customary per reigning champion. Lin, who played his first season with the Warriors after going undrafted in 2010, was supportive of the team's strong stance against Donald Trump's actions.

“It's great for everyone to take a stand,” Lin told reporters Tuesday, according to Greg Logan of Newsday. “Obviously the invite was rescinded, which is a tough situation to be in. But looking at Steph and the Warriors, I don't think they could've done anything differently. A lot of what Steph described, I feel as well. I'm a minority, too. I can't always fully understand a lot of the things that are going on, but I can definitely to some degree understand. That's something I've been reading up on every day.”

Curry noted his decision not to attend, which was followed the next morning by an un-invitation of the Warriors by President Donald Trump as part of his morning Twitter routine. Trump also had called for NFL players who didn't stand for the anthem to be “fired,” as well as referring them as “sons of b****es” in one of his customary public tirades.

“I'm not big into politics, but right now I really am in terms of learning and trying to figure out how do I use my platform and my voice to take a stand,” Lin said. “Because at the end of the day, we see a lot of injustice still and things aren't the way we thought they should be in America, or aren't the way they wish they could be.”
