Rookie NBA sensation, Jeremy Lin, is garnering some additional attention because he is a devoted follower of Jesus. Some are comparing him to Tim Tebow, quarterback for the Denver Broncos, well known for his evangelical personality. However, some are saying there’s a major difference between Tebow and Lin: talent! Jeremy Lin has ignited the New York Nicks on a winning spree. I agree Lin has talent and is on fire, however I disagree that Tebow in without talent. Let’s see how the Tebow story plays out next year in the NFL … maybe some day I’ll have to sigh and admit Tim doesn’t have an NFL arm.
What IS exciting is seeing two guys each proclaiming their gratitude to Christ for their talent and success.
Check out Lin’s post-game interview to gain a deeper insight into his faith.
