Warriors Sign First Asian-American Player Since 1947

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.
