You know the Asian kid who liked to beat up on the Boston College men’s basketball team every year? Well, he’s now going to play in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin, recent Harvard grad and the university’s fifth all-time leading scorer, announced Wednesday that he has signed with the Golden State Warriors. Lin has been playing for the Dallas Mavericks summer league team, and was originally set to play in the San Francisco Pro-Am League, according to ESPN.

“This is a dream come true,” Lin said at a press conference yesterday. “I always wanted to be in the NBA and now I get to do it with the Warriors, the team I grew up watching.”

According to ESPN.com, Lin is the first Asian-American player to sign with the Warriors since 1947.

Quote of the Day

Cleveland won’t be ignoooooored, LeBron.

“I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE…Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there. Sorry, but that’s simply not how it works.” – Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert’s response to the fans after hearing that LeBron James has chosen to play for the Miami Heat next season.

Oh, I love it! And the gauntlet is thrown.

LeBron to Miami, But More Interesting Than That…

Jared Dudley is a TMZ reporter? How did I miss this?

At 12:45 p.m. PST Thursday, Dudley called TMZ to tell them that his insiders were reporting LeBron’s move to New York as a done deal. Well, Jared clearly doesn’t have his master’s in journalism like I do, because his claim couldn’t have been more wrong. South Beach it is.

The above photo makes me think of two things: 1.) The time I bought Jared LeBron James Bubblicious gum. 2.) The time Jared called into Ted Sarandis’ radio show to interrupt Jermaine Watson’s interview and ask questions about how great everyone thinks he is.

This kid has a serious public career after basketball. Bring back the dreds!
