via his instagram(@jlin7): As athletes, we are always aware that the possibility of retirement is never far away. Iβve spent my 15 year career knowing that one day I would have to walk away, and yet actually saying goodbye to basketball today has been the hardest decision Iβve ever made.
It's been the honor of a lifetime to compete against the fiercest competitors under the brightest lights and to challenge what the world thought was possible for someone who looks like me. I've lived out my wildest childhood dreams to play in front of fans all around the world. I will forever be the kid who felt fully alive everytime I touched a basketball.
So many people have sacrificed and poured into my journey, more than I could ever repay. Thank you all for believing in me, for walking with me, for celebrating my highs and picking me up in my lows. This is a ride I never wanted to end but I know itβs time. I will forever miss playing basketball in front of you all but our time will go beyond just playing. Hereβs to whatβs ahead.
Love you all
