Jeremy Lin Reveals His Music Picks (VIDEO)

As everyone's favorite success story Jeremy Lin continues to tear up the basketball court with his astounding gameplay, the world has been dying to know: What does the Knicks hero listen to on his iPod? (Right? Haven't you been dying to know that?)

Lucky for us, Fuse took a moment with Lin to ask for a few of his essential music picks, and the results may surprise you...

We can't wait for Lin's new neighbors at the White Plains Trump Towers to complain about all that Lecrae he's pumping until 3:30 in the morning.

"Turn down that Lecrae!" -Neighbors

"No way, I'm Jeremy Lin!" -Jeremy Lin

"Oh, OK! Keep it up!" -Neighbors

I am impressed that all this media hype has not made Lin forget who was responsible for getting him there. He should not tone down his praise of the Lord one iota. Maybe some of his fans will think about their relationship with the almighty over those beers and wings

His talent, dedication for the game and his parents support helped him get there. Please save the praises for church.

You're awesome Jeremy. But every time you thank God for winning basketball games, you imply that your victories are more important to God than the other stuff he seems to look over, like poverty and starvation in third world countries. Don't become a Tebow.

I don't agree. Lin tries to glorify God in what HE does. He doesn't say that it's GOD'S glory that shows up in his basketball ability. Still, I think a LOT of Christians get this twisted. Whenever they win, they say it's God. But when they lose, is that God, also? And the worst is when people blame God for killing their loved ones. Newsflash: God didn't kill your loved one. A Drunk driver, or a disease did. We live on Earth, where bad things happen to good people. Babies arrive, stillborn. And awesome things happen, too. As a Christian, I believe God has asked us to make awesome things happen for each other. We need to help each other out, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and console those in sorrow, in God's name-- not for our own glory. We are supposed to be God's hands and feet on Earth. Now, that doesn't mean God can perform miracles. But that's not what this time on Earth is about. This time on Earth is about us living this human experience, and doing what's right, despite all that goes wrong.

So what does all this have to do with Lin? I don't think he believes God made him better than others. He's physically gifted, but he works like a MANIAC. Still, when he succeeds, he doesn't let the accolades fall on himself. He says a big up to the One who is greater than himself. What's wrong with being humble?

How dare you criticize anyone's faith. What or who do you believe in?

This is supposed to be a land where people can speak freely. First Amendment and all. I am a religious person, but it disgusts me that the world has to cater to religionists. That's un-American. People have the right to criticize and you have the right to say you don't like it and so forth, y'know? That is how it works. And because I have freedom of speech, so do you (or vice versa). And frankly, so many religions do evil things, I believe good humans have a duty to call out their evil. They have no problem calling us out for what THEY consider evil--and punishing people under law for not following THEIR god's dictates.

A better question: Why NOT criticize anyone's faith or lack thereof? The only good answer: Because you choose not to do that, for whatever reason. Anything else makes you either an arrogant clod or a mindless sycophant.

Jeremy, tone down the Jesus talk. They love you already.

[Natalie Davis]

And heaven knows, especially after tonight's loss, you don't want to give anyone a reason to stop loving you.

China is mad because he's a christian and from Taiwan. Too bad, China.

Did they say that?

[blondd780]

Mr. Lin was born in the U.S., so that makes him an American Christan of Taiwanese descent.

[Js420]

He was born an American Taiwanese to Christian parents. Jeremy was indoctrinated at a very young age.

So did he reveal his breakfast too?? Maybe I'm being a tad bit hypocritical since earlier this afternoon I looked at my watch and "revealed" the time of day.

its pretty cool that he gives more importance to being christian than being "taiwanese american".

[faithnj]

04:18 PM on 02/17/2012

Amen to that!

[cyoohoos]

06:24 PM on 02/17/2012

Why is that cool? He was born Taiwanese, his religion is a conscious choice. In other words, he works on his religion, his ethnicity requires no effort at all.

The Tim Tebow of the NBA, I cant wait for Baseball season, Probably Angels in the outfield !!! LMAO

as a Knick fan I can't get on the Lin bandwagon, I really wish he was not the NBA Tebow

The media has and its so annoying.

[fratricide08]

He needs to teach Tebow how to a Christian in public. Lin manages to do it without annoying anyone and without it looking like he's trying to hard.

[faithnj]

04:20 PM on 02/17/2012

nah. despite how modest he is, it looks like just being a practicing Christian is a reason for some people to hate. and what are you going to do? at the end of the day, haters are gonna hate, right?

[Natalie Davis]

I don't hate Christians. I like Jesus. I don't like bigotry, however, and too many churches--though absolutely not all, which is why I can belong to a church--practice hate while teaching gays (and sometimes women, yes, Catholics, I'm talking to you as one raised in that church who fled for my life and self-respect) to hate themselves. And so many religionists are violent or support violence. Sorry, the violence and bigotry and sexism and homophobia demonstrated by too many churches makes me skeptical of Christianity flaunters. Too many of them are like Chris Christie, the George Wallace of the New Millennium. And they are NOT about loving their neighbors; they are about CONTROLLING their neighbors with their "obey my god or else" crap. Are there good religious people. ABSOLUTELY. And thank the lord for them or there would be no hope at all!

I think anything that put shows a little perspective and "right sizeness" with the rest of humanity and the universe is a good thing. Able men, playing games and being well paid. With gratitude.

That is nice.

Go, Go Lin, you are an inspiration. Floyd Mayweather said you are a product of hype because you are Asia, but I firmly believe you are real deal.
