Asian Americans -- Jeremy Lin creates a legend for himself

The Golden State Warriors have signed local-star and NBA Summer League phenom Jeremy Lin to a multi-year deal. This is absolutely a legend for the 21 years old guy.

As an Asian Americans, Lin gets quite a lot strengths which also makes him feel aspiring about his NBA career. "I think my style of play fits better in the NBA game," Lin said. "It`s a little more up and down. (Summer League) has been a great experience. The more I went through the process the more I gained confidence that I could play at this level and now I`m confident I can play here and I know I belong. It`s a matter of proving it now."

Previously, Lin played four years at Harvard where he became one of the Ivy League's best players ever.Deceptively quick and athletic, noticeably has a quick first step, has nice touch around basket, very crafty with the ball, excellent at changing direction, Lin sees a lane and takes it and he's not afraid to get fouled, Can adjust his body and shot in mid air, absorbs contact well, Uses on-ball screens very well with an ability to explode to the hoop, solid handle, above average crossover and shows the ability to split double teams with ease, Can get in the paint and make plays for others, Plays solid off-ball defense, ability to see man and ball, Great awareness and reaction time, Very effective in transition, Good lateral movement when playing man to man perimeter defense and high awareness when playing help defense, Has decent strength with long, solidly built arms, Works hard at his game, Has shown the ability to step up in big games and make clutch plays (hit a game winner to open the season) ... All this strong points makes Jeremy Lin different and be destined for his legend.

But the history has a profound lesson, all the Asian Americans ever to play in the NBA had not a smooth career. From Wataru Misaka, Raymond Townsend, Corey Gaines, Rex Walters to Robert Swift, discrimination was full of their sports career. Just like Lin`s coach said in his high school time, even if you played well, as an Asian Americans you still needed to be patient.

Thank the Dallas for that costful chance to let Jeremy play in the NBA summer league and therefor we start to know this shy guy who`s already famous during his university time. We can also learn that Lin is quite interested in some TEC stuff, like transmitter. A real big boy, and we like to know more things about his life, his playing transmitter time. As a new fans, i`d like to wish he can roll his hoop in the first season of NBA.
