Jeremy Lin. This is a Pun-Free Zone. You're Welcome.

Okay, we are at a point where we've absolutely exhausted the Jeremy Lin jokes (especially the puns...) but of all the ones out there, my favorite was "who is this Jeremy Lin and how do I get him to do my homework?"  

If you're reading this, you probably fall in the demographics that describe you as 'not interested in sports or athletes' except for the ones the Kardashians have dated/married.  And that's okay.  But if you don't know who Jeremy Lin is by now, you probably started Lent a few weeks early and cut yourself off from social media networks.  And if you're not religious, maybe you have selective hearing/sight and cringe at anything that takes you back to Tebow Time. 


So who is Jeremy Lin?
A god-fearing, persevering hopeful who was twice-released but is now single-handedly rocking MSG.

Naturally there have been rumors that Jeremy Lin and Kim Kardashian are having a rendezvous...but let's give Jeremy the benefit of the doubt and lay these rumors to rest for now.  Let's give Kim some credit too...dating someone just across the bridge from the Humps seems insensitive.  We know she knows better.

So if not Kim...who?  Let's take a took at some eligible bachelorettes for the NBA's most unlikely mister.


1) Leighton Meester





Why this is perfect: no one has to relocate.  They can skip all the drama that comes with pairing up with a non-local (see: Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries in Kourtney and Kim Take New York.)  Jeremy is rumored to be moving in from the suburbs into FiDi, so they'll both be in the same borough.  Plus, who else thinks Jeremy and Dorota could be BFFs?  I certainly do.


2) Kristin Kreuk




Her Smallville days might be over and she may have slipped into obscurity, but there's no question that she's still a beauty and certainly eligible for an NBA spectacular's love.

Why this is perfect: she is half Chinese. Let's face it...there aren't that many stars in Hollywood looking for an Asian boyf...and while some may compromise on that for Jeremy, we'd know Kristin would be vying for Jeremy's love sans ulterior motives.


3) Vanessa Hudges

Though she's basically dating no one now dating Austin Butler (?), Vanessa was once very much into basketball players, one in particular named Troy Bolton.  So much so that she decided to date the real life Troy Bolton, Zac Efron, for four years.

Why this is perfect: must I spell it out?
Jeremy Lin is a basketball player...

The only caveat: sorry Vanessa, but Jeremy might not enjoy taking naked pictures of you on his cell phone as much as Zac did.  But if you can wait 'til marriage, I'd say Jeremy is a good investment. 

Here's to Jerbear finding a lifetime galpal now that he's known by all...and Jeremy, if none of the girls above work out, I know plenty of friends who would die to have you.
