The Taiwanese Tebow?

 A certain ritual of public
witness--thanking Jesus in the postgame interview, praising God for victory,
pointing heavenward after a score--has become routine behavior for devout
Christian athletes. Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is the most prominent
current example.

Another,
perhaps different approach--or perhaps not so different--may be emerging with
basketball player Jeremy Lin, who in recent weeks burst out of nowhere to
become a fan favorite on the New York Knicks.

Lin's
rise offers at least three intriguing story lines. He's a graduate of
Harvard--a school hardly known for sending players to the NBA. He's an
Asian-American--one of the few to play in the NBA. And he's a Christian, one
who makes no secret of his faith. For that he's already been dubbed the
"Taiwanese Tebow."
