Warriors' Lin hopes to beat Harvard stereotypes
Basketball Betting Lines
07/28/2010 - TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) -The first Taiwanese-American signed by an NBA team hopes to overcome the negative stereotype of playing college basketball at Harvard, and eventually wants to be a minister in an inner-city neighborhood. Undrafted point guard Jeremy Lin signed last week with the Golden State Warriors after impressing coaches at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Lin acknowledged Wednesday at a press conference that his NBA career path was far from common, and that ``being Asian-American and being from Harvard, that's not going to be an advantage because of stereotypes.'' He also said that religion is a major part of his life and he sees a future in the ministry.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
