Video: Get to Know HeeJun Han, the Next Asian American Idol

Any HeeJun Han fans out there in American Idol?

I don’t know about you, but this guy is a riot! Every time I see him on TV, just seems like a long lost cousin – adorable, a bit quirky, sometimes too focused, and maybe a little sarcastic. But it’s the package – and him being Korean makes the American Idol competition a bit more appealing.

New York Knicks Guard Jeremy Lin Wears Faith on Wrist


Jeremy Lin jumps.

Jeremy Lin dunks.

Jeremy Lin steals.

Jeremy Lin passes.

Jeremy Lin scores.

Jeremy Lin turns over (eek!)

Jeremy Lin also does something else: he pumps – pumps his hands in the air.

If you looked closely at your television set or on the screen of your computer during a game, notice the wristband that he has on. You’ll notice a bright colored wristband on his right wrist. Next time you watch Linsanity on the courts, take a look.

Take a look at the wrist of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin and you may see something you haven’t before. Lin is sporting wristbands from Active Faith, an apparel company started by former professional basketball player Lanny Smith and Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Tolliver.

The only other place items can be purchased is at MyActiveFaith.com, which was re-launched this weekend, and contact can be made via Twitter @Active_Faith. In Jesus Name I Play bands, like the ones Lin wears, can be purchased for $3. Among other items for sale: CrossFit shirts are $26, women’s yoga tights are $30 and hoodies are $45.

Lin was on board with wearing the brand before his newfound stardom. He has led the Knicks to eight wins in the past nine games. A former D-League teammate, Patrick Ewing Jr., introduced him to Active Faith. Source: USA Today
