![_Whitney Houston, 48, Has Died [Updated]](http://sfist.com/assets_c/2012/02/whitney-houston-dead-2-thumb-250x250-693364.jpg)
Noted as the first Asian-American player signed by the Warriors since 1947, Harvard student Jeremy Lin landed a deal with the East Bay team. "I consider myself a basketball player more than an Asian-American," Lin explains to ESPN. "I'm ready to play at this level and I appreciate the support of the Asian community. This is a dream come true. I always wanted to be in the NBA and now I get to do it with the Warriors, the team I grew up watching." Lin, who grew up on Palo Alto, singed a multi-year deal, which includes a first-year salary of close to $500,000.

Chatter about the Warriors being sold is bubbling up again. In addition to rumors swirling that tight-faced Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison might make an offer, C.W. Nevius reports that the basketball team, currently housed in Oakland, could come to San Francisco. According to Nevius' sources, "Potential buyers of the team have asked the San Francisco Giants about building a state-of-the-art arena in Mission Bay." (In an area once littered with gay bars and arena clubs, the recent saturation of sports fans in the area is refreshingly brutish change of pace.) Still, some say they won't be moving anywhere anytime soon.

Downtown San Francisco, that is. Because, really, you can never have too many drunk sports fans peeing in front of your apartment. Curbed commenters are nutting over it if you want to check it out the scene.
