Jeremy Lin has decided to leave the NBA to play in China for a more lucrative deal. He has signed with the Beijing Shougang Ducks and has stated that he is very excited to play in front of his Chinese fans. Jeremy Lin has always garnered many Asian and Asian-American fans. At 31 years of age he has left a mark on the NBA as one of the best modern day Asian-American players currently playing. He is an inspiration to people all over and will continue to be wherever he takes his talents.

This move shows a trend that has been occurring in the NBA. Lots of veteran players are deciding to make the move overseas for lucrative multi-year deals. They would rather make more money and have bigger roles than to make the league minimum. A good example of this is Stephan Marbuary. Once a middling NBA player, he decided to make the move overseas sometime ago. He is now considered a legendary Chinese player and has built an amazing brand over there.
