Lin is not the first Asian-American to do it though?
as far as I knew he's the first full Asian-Am to do so.
Correct, but given that he broke that barrier in 1948, it's probably why not a lot of people know this.
He was Japanese-American. Went to University of UTAH, and played for the Knicks.
If Lin plays more than 3 games, then he would have surpassed him as the most successful Asian-American player.

You don't need to worry about a 2nd string PG getting burn in a Don Nelson ran team. Before you know it, Nelson will be trotting out 2 PGs, 2 SG, and 1 SF.Originally Posted by FrenchBlue23
Yeah, the analogy was stupid. Let's get over it.
Aside from that, Lin is a good player from what we've seen, hope he can get lots of playing time up there in Oakland.
