Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow have a lot in common, if you listen to the media — they were both undervalued, they both came off the bench in their teams’ times of need and sparked a winning streak, they’re both obsessively swarmed by ESPN analysts and they’ve seen their successes instantaneously followed by intense backlash and not-necessarily-appropriate race card droppage.
I assumed the next step in the comparison would be finding out he’s secretly bagging Kendall Jenner (or Ke$ha’s parents are trying to hook her up with him), but I missed a step … please enjoy this video of Lin naming Christian musicians as Artists We’ve Got To Check Out. He listens to Hillsong. Hillsong. At one point he mentions that he’s playing basketball to glorify God, but doesn’t firstly and foremostly thank his lord and savior Jesus Christ for anything specific.
Lin hasn’t been a superstar for very long, so I hope this continues. But if he can’t play after 40 days, and his mind is crushed by the crashing waves, lift him up so high that he cannot fall. Lift him up.

I see what you did there, with the Jars of Clay. +1
I have to keep most of my Christian rock jokes a secret. What would people say if they knew I was a Jesus Freak?
In that photo, the lead singer of Hillsong looks like Andrew WK
The problem with Tebow isn’t Tebow. It is the oversaturation that ESPN nitwit producers choose to subject America with. I fear that the Booyah machine is digging the same rut for Lin. Seems like a good kid who cannot possibly live up to the 24 hour tune of the Sportscenter organ grinder.
Is it wrong to want a stray Favre sighting, just to break the monotony? Did Clemens shoot up any Winstrol this week? Do we have b-roll of some T.O. situps?
DC Talk reference. Next up: innocuous Amy Grant lyrics
Tebow, great in the 4th quarter….. Lin, great in all 4 quarters….. Linlicious, Linsanity, Lintacular….etc etc
Hillsong??! What a joke. He likes that watered down gospel music? If he only knew what Hillong really is about…. such a disgrace. Wake up Lin!!!!
