For those of you who remember, Tony Akins was one of the best players in the ACC many years ago when he suited up for Georgia Tech. I've always known he was half-black half-Korean but now after playing for many years in Europe (France, Greece, Poland, Croatia etc.) and even a few games for China's Beijing Ducks in 02-03, he decided to join the KBL. Since he's half-Korean he's eligible to play as a domestic player and can probably suit up for Korean NT in the future.
Here's an interview from last year:
Although Korea never really lacked guards as much as big men, so I wonder how much he's going to help them if this plan does go through.
Sounds like he's really cocky

I guess Korea just isn't ready for that type of change yet. I know if they were to allow me to get my citizenship the Korean national basketball team would make the Olympic qualifications every time instead of losing to China, Japan, and every other Asian country.
