Oracle was already selling out. I see no harm in Asians/Asian Americans rooting for their "own" to succeed, everyone else does it in other avenues in life. I hope the kid makes it, and no I am not Asian.

Golden State Warriors to sign ex-Palo Alto High star Jeremy Lin
http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_15562510
The Warriors are close to landing a player who is turning out to be a cult figure.
Guard Jeremy Lin, a Bay Area native who played at Harvard, is on the verge of signing a two-year deal with the Warriors.
Lin, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound combo guard who was undrafted out of Harvard, played for the Dallas Mavericks summer league and piqued the interest of several teams with his play. But the former Palo Alto High School star is signing with the Warriors, his favorite team growing up.
Lin's deal is partially guaranteed this year, and the Warriors hold a team option for the second season.
The Warriors need a point guard after trading C.J. Watson to the Chicago Bulls. Lin is going to get his chance to fill that void. The Warriors could still go out and get a veteran point guard. That would allow time for Lee — who has the game of a shooting guard but needs to play point at the pro level — to develop without pressure.
Lin would become the third Asian born in the United States to play in the NBA and first since San Jose's Rex Walters, the current University of San Francisco coach.
Golden State also has guard Monta Ellis and Charlie Bell as options at point guard to spell starter Stephen Curry.

Sources: Lin near deal with Warriors
By Marc Stein
ESPN.com
The Golden State Warriors are closing in on signing summer-league sensation Jeremy Lin, according to sources with knowledge of the talks.
Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Warriors, by offering to guarantee more than half of Lin's potential first-year salary of nearly $500,000, have reached an agreement in principle with the point guard from Harvard.
Jeremy Lin
A scout said of Jeremy Lin's play in Las Vegas: "He showed that he can be an NBA point guard. He showed us he can finish, defend and has above-average athleticism."
Lin is expected to receive a multiyear deal, sources said.
Lin's Bay Area roots and consistently strong performance with the Dallas Mavericks' squad in Las Vegas prompted the Warriors to chase Lin hard and ultimately outbid a handful of teams that have been pursuing him since summer-league play ended Sunday.
The Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers were among the first teams to try to sign the 6-foot-3 guard for next season, but agent Roger Montgomery told ESPNDallas.com on Monday that the publicity Lin attracted for outplaying prized Mavs youngster Roddy Beaubois -- while routinely flashing better-than-expected athleticism in the process -- generated a clutch of new offers.
The Warriors have a need for a guard depth behind stars Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry after restricted free agent C.J. Watson signed an offer sheet Monday with the Chicago Bulls that resulted in Watson joining the Bulls via sign-and-trade.
A Western Conference scout said of Lin's play in Las Vegas: "He showed that he can be an NBA point guard. He showed us he can finish, defend and has above-average athleticism."
Lin is a lifelong Warriors fan and his signing, sources said, was fully endorsed by Golden State's incoming new ownership tandem of Boston Celtics minority partner Joe Lacob and Mandalay Entertainment CEO Peter Guber, whose purchase of the Warriors from longtime owner Chris Cohan won't be finalized for 60 to 90 days.
Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson was the only NBA executive to offer Lin a roster spot for summer league and had hopes of developing Lin's game with the Texas Legends, which is the Mavericks D-League affiliate in Frisco that Nelson co-owns.

I'm upset that my motive was not recognized.
I made this sarcastically and out of haste because I was tired of reading about him in every different NBA thread, and he actually ended up making a team. He might be the worst guard in the league right now.
