Has there ever been an Asian-American NBA All Star player?

Not as of 2013. Jeremy Lin is the first Asian-American to play in the NBA, and while he played well last year he has not been selected for the All-Star team. http://lakernation.com/forums/index.php?/topic/53676-is-jeremy-lin-doing-something-much-bigger-than-what-was-recieved-nationally/ Feb 17 13, 1:27 PM

Prior to Jeremy Lin, there were a few additional Asian-American NBA players. "Wataru Misaka broke the NBA color barrier when he played for the New York Knicks in the 1947-48 season.[60] The next Asian American NBA player was Raymond Townsend, who played for the Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers from 1978 to 1982.[60] Rex Walters, played from 1993 to 2000 with the Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat;[60] he is presently the head coach for the University of San Francisco basketball team.[61] After playing basketball at Harvard University, point guard Jeremy Lin signed with the NBA's Golden State Warriors in 2010[60] and now plays for the Houston Rockets." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_American#Basketball None of these were All-Stars. One player of Chinese nationality was an 8x All-Star, Houston Rockets center Yao Ming. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yao_Ming Feb 18 13, 1:39 AM
