There was also a Korean as well as a Japanese guard.


Thanks for this. I just remembered that the first asian to play an NBA game was the Japanese American, Wataru Misaka. He was drafted by the New York Knicks and played 3 games scoring 7 points for them in the 1947-1948 season.

Sa tingin ko, si Ha Seung-Jin ito. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha_Seung_Jin. Go Wikipedia ulit! Haha. Pero 2004 siya nadraft, so medyo late na.
