Former NBA player Jeremy Lin officially joined the Beijing Shougang Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) during an introductory press conference in Beijing on Thursday.

The 31-year-old had expressed publicly that he was open to moving to the CBA, and he was reportedly offered $3 million per year in the contract.

Lin logged 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists in his NBA career. The Harvard graduate became a global sensation in 2012 during his time with the New York Knicks, in a period he was dubbed "Linsanity". He became the first Asian-American to win an NBA title last season with the Toronto Raptors.
