Jeremy Lin, Kim Kardashian Might Not Be 'Dating' But Could Be Evangelizing

Kim Kardashian's spokesperson has denied that the reality television star has any intention of dating New York Knicks breakout point guard Jeremy Lin, but that has not stopped the athlete's fans from wondering if a meeting between the two celebrities, seemingly opposites, might not be an opportunity for evangelism.

Kardashian's rep, Jill Fritzo, told amNewYork Thursday that there was no way her client and Lin had any plans to meet.

"Absolutely 100% NOT true. Someone made that story up!" Fritzo told the publication. The newspaper noted that Fritzo did not comment on how the rumor might have been started.

Jeremy Lin's fans, however, took the "news" with a grain of salt, finding it very unlikely that the dedicated athlete and commited Christian would have time to date someone, once her divorce from Humphries is finalized, will have been twice divorced.

One user, commenting on The Christian Post's report, suggested that if there was any meeting between Kardashian and Lin, that the basketball player could use the opportunity to witness and minster the gospel to the controversial celebrity, who decided on a divorce from Humphries only after 72 days of marriage. 

Becky Dobyns wrote: "It's really easy to hate Kim Kardashian and look at her as the evil predator who's after good Christian Jeremy Lin, and I've seen some horrible comments about her on the internet, but I have a feeling Jesus would sit down next to her at a well, knowing all the sins she's committed, and still offer her living water rather than abuse.

"Since Jeremy Lin does love Jesus, maybe he can even use any 'meeting' that might occur with her as an opportunity to share about repentance and redemption. We can't give up on anyone."

However, some were concerned that any meeting between Kardashian, 31, and Lin, 23, could potentially lead to disaster, as the two might have radically differing agendas.

"Seriously? It's not that I dislike her or something...but personally, I think she just wants to date whoever's popular....and the fact is ...she has divorced 2 times before...(the last one was to a NBA player from Nets)," wrote a CP reader named "maggielin0810."

She added, "Oh boy...this would definitely be a something for Jeremy Lin to overcome, resisting the temptations and focusing on God. I know that Jeremy will stay firm and faithful in Jesus Christ."

Alvin Lee, however, suggested that Kardashian might not even be on Lin's radar as "Christians don't date non-Christians so there's no need to worry about the wolf tainting the pure sheep."
