Yes....put a muzzle on the lamb...
[QUOTE=GOBB]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:[/QUOTE]
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!
