Ha Seung Jin's first basketball card.

"Although he was only the 43rd overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, all eyes are on Portland Trailblazer Ha Seung-Jin as he attempts to be the first Korean to play in the NBA. Don’t let the draft position fool you. His 7’3” / 305 pound frame poses a ton of potential and draws comparisons to Yao Ming. And he will have time to develop, because he just celebrated his 19th birthday..."

I hate to see them make such a big deal about a player that hasn't even played in an NBA game yet, but I guess in light of the NBA's desperate need for attention, it is inevitable. Still, I'm glad the kid's in a Blazer uni. :)
