Lin in the NBA

Well, looks like Jeremy Lin will be playing in the NBA after all.

I admit, I got greedy after hearing so many teams were after him, and thus, wanted him to go to the Lakers. But the situation in Golden State is good. He'll get a lot more opportunity to get on the court behind the likes of Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis. Yes, it's at the cost of winning especially compared to signing with the defending champs, but the style will better suit Lin as he seeks to showcase his talent as his contract is only guaranteed for one year.

A good year will then lead to his second year being picked up by the team and hopefully more play time and an extended contract in the future, either with the Warriors or elsewhere.

As a fellow Asian American, this is a fantastic development. The bottom line is neatly summed up in this Sporting News article, Jeremy Lin to the Warriors is not just "a mere signing."

The only issue now is that if Lin had signed with the Lakers, I would have snapped up his rookie jersey in a heartbeat. My team loyalty might have to live with a foreign jersey in my closet...
