Will an Asian guard ever make the NBA?

[QUOTE=TheBigAristotle1]Well just remember the NBA is no joke, if you are as small as he is (6'1") you have to be unbelievably good to be successfull in the NBA.[/QUOTE]

That's a good point. He has the time to improve, but I think the real question is [I]can[/I] he improve if he continues to play against players that bad?

[quote]That's a good point. He has the time to improve, but I think the real question is can he improve if he continues to play against players that bad?[/quote]

Agreed. Getting out of China is imperative if he wants to make the NBA.

[QUOTE=HALLandOATES]great thread:rollingeyes: will girls ever play in the nba too?????[/QUOTE]
Diana Taurasi?

[QUOTE=GOBB]We got big men, but as far as guards? Zilch. Think one tried for the Clippers and didnt make the team. Can you see an asian guard representing the National Basketball Association? :confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]


I think Yuta Tabuse played some games.

chen jiang hua started for the chinese national team i believe even caught coach K's eye. after the US played China, coach K half jokingly said something like "he's only 17? we could use a point like that at Duke, what are his grades like?"

[QUOTE=GOBB]Bruh you said 3yrs. You dont estimate that short of a time without listing a prospect. Admit you talked out your ass for the sake of it. Kobe24 at his best.

:confusedshrug: [/QUOTE]

Man you're a loser. He gave you a time frame in whch he thinks it will happen. Hows he suppossed to know about all the Asian prospects?

I think he's fair in saying that. I think it'll happen in the next 5 years. I know of no prospects, I don't care for Asian basketball, but that's when I think it'll happen. We've had two Kiwis in the league with a population of 4 million, I think all of Asia could muster up at least one guard, ours was Kirk Penney.

I love how the New Zealand dumbass contionues to talk as if he has a clue about basketball and its played knowing his viewing is limited. Didnt Get Buckets already pull your skirt up? I think he did. You should do more reading/learning and less running your trap because 75% of the stuff you talk about is bogus. Now I see why all you do is make trade proposals, cant talk much in terms of the players because when you do you're always wrong.

[QUOTE=TheBigAristotle1]There already was an asian gaurd in the NBA Yuta Tabuse, he played in a few regular season games with the suns, but decided to go to the NBDL instead of being stuck on the injured reserve. I thought Tabuse might join Nate Robinson and Earl Boykins as one of the small players in the NBA (Sub 5'10").

The guy who people are talking about is ChenJiangHua, good player, very fast, decent leaping ability.[/QUOTE]

Yeah but what i really mean when i say make it was to be a relevant player. The fact dude went to the NBDL to avoid being on the injured reserve list and basically seeing much of no minutes ehhhhh. Not what i was lookin for. I'm lookin for someone with the potential to be good & get noticed.

So we will see. I saw the youtube vid, dude wasnt that bad.

Find 5 people that agree with you.

See how many people think I have decent basketball knowledge.

And stop riding Get Buckets nuts. He's a terible poster, and just got angry cause I always own him.

Asian guards avoid American basketball leagues because they don't want to hit the showers with a bunch of black guys for obvious reasons.

I remember Yuta Tabuse was going to be a third string PG for the Suns a few years ago but he got cut at the last minute. dude was like 5'6 and quick as lightning.

[quote]great thread will girls ever play in the nba too?????[/quote]
I'd say it's more likely.

Maybe but he gets points for talking about something other than posters he doesn't like and why.

:rolleyes:

3 years? 5 years? A couple of dudes rolling a dice to pick out a time span. And wasn't ced also "attractiveblonde"? Now I know what this "Dragon Club" is all about.

You know what continent has NEVER devloped a guard who played in the NBA?

Africa.

Agree with Gobb on Ced.

Anyway, sure, you're talking about 1 Billion people in China alone, where popularity of basketball is skyrocketing cos of Yao. One of those kids will make guard here in the next 5-10 years.

Keeping the theme of this thread,check out this dude.He was the first asian-american and minority player in the NBA back in 1947.

That's a pretty interesting stat. Steve Nash was born in S. Africa and Iguodala is of Nigerian descent, but I guess that's as close as it gets.

[QUOTE=jody]there already was one, so the thread can end now.[/QUOTE]

Why should the thread end? Be honest and tell me you were aware of the Asian in 1947. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you didnt. I wasnt aware of that player and usually that player to my knowledge has never been acknowledged or recognized on a broader scale. With the talk, growth of international players, with Yao Ming being a well known and talked about asian and how he has impacted the culture in terms of bball (its starting to grow even larger than before) this player still has recieved little to no pub. But my thread should mysteriously end because of this?

Also I pretty much tried to explain my intent/meaning of this topic because it started off to others as a question "has one made the nba" but I was really lookin into it more, deeper than just playing 3gms like the guy in the link did, or playing hardly any minutes in the nba like Yuta did before he voluntarily went to the nbdl instead of being a human mascot for an NBA franchise. I want someone with sigfnificance, importance, impact. Not going extreme and talkin Lebron James, but how Manu started? Maybe Leonardo Barbosa? Someone we talk about, mention and actually see play quality minutes. Someone that fans can argue "In 2-3yrs he will be good/productive, maybe an All Star caliber player" vs "No, just a career backup nothign special" etc etc. Much like we do with any young player with talent as we try to guess thier future in the NBA.

Thats what i want, what i tried to ask for with my recent reply in here. Thread should still die now that a player i dont think you even knew about was posted? Let me know. :confusedshrug:

Well, you asked if an Asian guard will ever make it and there was that guy back in 1773 and Yuta Tabusa. There we go! An Asian made the NBA!

-There is horrible coaching at the lower levels in Asia.
-Guards cannot develop in this system and most of the top talent is riddled with bad habits. Big guys can get away with it, smaller guys cant.
-China is taking on a lot more foreign coaching, and developing youth leagues. This will develop talent. it will take time.

Guy back then played 3gms tops. Yuta played 4gms tops. 82gm season.

There lies the asian guards career in the NBA. I already explained further my point, intent, reasoning for this topic. But like most undeveloped minds here you skip over it.

So I'll wait for your next reply which will most likely be off topic, irrelevant or repeating yourself AFTER what you repeated was explained. Lets see how this unfolds. Predictable? Time will tell when you hit "Add Reply".

Finally a post with some sense. Guy the usual suspects couldnt brainstorm such a post? :confusedshrug:

But I agree with that.

So your topic should read "Will an Asian guard ever make an[I][B][U] IMPACT [/U][/B][/I]in the NBA" then, because this thread title has already been answered...

Hu Weidong was an asain guard and got a contract, so he MADE the nba in 2000. Played again moron
[I]
"you better get along and gettcha mind right, ya mind right"[/I]

Here's a mix of Chen Jianghua. This kid has the best chance to make it in the NBA. But like most international players, he'll need to put on massive weight to be able to play with NBA PGs.

Signed a contract? Did he play? Yes or no. So far Yuta holds the record for most games played with 4. :rolleyes:

You kids sound like typo queens. Poster makes a typo and you quote, laugh and harp on it for eternity. Poster corrects typo and its [I]"Too late, too late now :roll: "[/I]. But considering the posters who are replying? Not surprised. Pretty much embarrassed you with words on this board so much you just wait for your chance. Comedy. The battered poster. I should just make a username "Joe Jackson" the way I beat up on you kids so much.

Look what your question asked .Can you just admit a fault ? Don't beat around the bush. If you would of just said "oh yeah guys I mean who will be the first successful asian in the nba" instead you would of been good to go.

This thread has already lost the original idea...Will an Asian guard ever make the NBA[B]?![/B]

Chen Jianghua can make it in the league if he tries his best and works hard. I think he has a good chance. Did anyone see him vs. USA a few weeks ago. He got to the hoop a few times. I think he's better then Sun Yue. Chen is quick. If he's only 17 then he has a great chance to make the league. I just wish he was bigger so he doesnt get pushed around too much. But this guy is quick. Yeah he has a good chance to play in the NBA soon.

He may not be a pure asian but Raymond Townsend, NBA point guard; the Golden State Warriors made him the first Filipino-American ever to be drafted in the first round of the NBA Draft

I cant find an African guard that developed in the NBA either. Basically Forwards and Centers. Wonder if most choose soccer over bball or the same situation like Asia (as mentioned by JtoIzzo).

Yes there will be. Not anytime soon.
