This is a list of Asian Basketball players who worked their way to get into the NBA. The list only includes NBA players who were born and raised in countries in Asia. Jeremy Lin is of Taiwanese-Chinese descent but he was born in California US and considers himself Chinese-American. Sim Bhullar's parents are from Punjab in India who migrated to Canada where Sim was born.. so SIm is basically Canadian.. Satnam Singh Bhamara was the first player drafted from India, but he never played a single game in the NBA. Jordan Clarkson is of Filipino ancestry, and holds a Philippine passport that makes him eligible to represent the Philippines in international competition. Clarkson was born in Tampa Floridan and grew up in San Antonio, Texas. I'll make sure to include these players on the video I'm making about NBA players of Asian descent.. or something like that.
Geographically, a large part of Turkey is in Asia, and there are a couple of NBA players from that country. Turkey competes in Fiba EuroBasket and not in Fiba Asia. The same goes with Israel, so I decided not to include them in this video.
Thanks for Liking and Commenting!!
