He’s been in the D-League before.

When Jeremy Lin was a rookie with Golden State last season, the Warriors sent him down for 20 games with the Reno Bighorns. He averaged 18 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 31.7 minutes.

Now the 6-3, 200-pound point guard is with the Erie BayHawks after the New York Knicks sent him down earlier today long with 7-footer Jerome Jordan. Lin has five points in five games with the Knicks, who are Erie’s NBA hybrid affiliate, this season.

Lin, who last season became the first Asian-American player since 1947 to play in the NBA, was acquired off waivers by the Knicks after the Houston Rockets released him to make room to sign center Samuel Dalembert.

Golden State released the former Harvard star earlier.

With Lin, the BayHawks have three point guards along with B.J. Jenkins and Mike Gerrity. Loren Stokes, who plays both point and shooting guard, has an injured big toe so Erie may rest him with the addition of Lin.

Lin is expected to practice Wednesday and play for the BayHawks in Friday’s game at Maine. The BayHawks also play at Maine on Sunday.

LeBron James is overseas on a promotional tour in Asia for Nike. He’s playing in a game, having fun and all the sudden finds himself in the middle of another one of his ”what’s up with that’ moment.

As you’ll see in the video below, this Asian kid dunks on him. Now before you check it out, you’re not going to hear canons sound off, but there are some special effects involving smoke. Just crazy.

We all know James could have blocked the dunk, but do you do that if you’re over there promoting? If anything bothered me, it was how he trying to be cute and got stripped. I’ll chalk it up as having fun, but sometimes, you just got to scratch your head with LeBron and say, well, it is what it is.
