While Lin entertained questions about his favorite Disney movie and facial expressions he makes on the basketball court, the NBA player managed to sift through silly questions and answer some faith-based ones. One person questioned Lin about his favorite Hillsong Music song, which he revealed was "Cornerstone."
Another person asked Lin who he would be if he could be a biblical character.
"I would be Samson and see how much I could bench press," Lin wrote.
It seemed Lin was in a silly and jovial mood weeks after taking to his personal website www.jlin7.com to speak about finding more joy in his life. While commenting on his website, Lin also admitted that he was disappointed in his basketball season thus far.
Still, the Christian athlete acknowledged that God was present during his trials.
"At times, it has felt like the barriers were insurmountable or that I was powerless to control things around me," Lin wrote. "From a basketball standpoint, I'm obviously disappointed, but God is always working — even through life's struggles and disappointments."
The Christian athlete also reflected on his life, vowing to focus on the goodness of God and finding joy in the Lord.
"My entire life has been a collection of miracles and instances where God has taken a 'bad' situation and turned it into a good one. And who knows … maybe God is preparing a miracle out of all this," Lin wrote. "When I focus on who God is and how much He loves me, I am able to live with joy and freedom from life's pressures or the results of basketball games. I hope that as I go through this 'valley' I can encourage you to turn to God and put your hope in Him!!"
