Jeremy Lin Reddit: NBA star answers fan questions

Jeremy Lin is an interesting character for having made a big name for himself in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 2012, when he was a rookie point guard who led the New York Knicks in breaking a long losing streak. 

The online world got to see a more interesting side of his character when he conducted an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit, where fans got the chance to ask him a bunch of questions.

For instance, the Charlotte Hornets point guard was asked what the best part of playing in the NBA is and he replied that it was the "chip selection" aboard the players' private planes.

He also revealed his epic cheat meals that consisted of the likes of McDonald's, In-N-Out and, Taco Bell meals. Lin's trainer gave him the go for a chance to have cheat meals two years ago, and the NBA player seems to have described his meals with enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, those who have been pretty much online the past few days may have also noticed that Lin has been making the rounds with his new video, which shows him talking about what it's like being in the league and how to fit in with the rest of the players.

The video clip, which runs for almost five minutes, showed Lin in various situations in which he reveals that there are times he feels out of place, considering he is of Asian roots and he joined the association that is mostly dominated by African Americans.

Lin also does other things in his video, like checking in with other players in the association. Stephen Curry even appeared in a cameo role in the video, as well as his daughter Riley, whom Lin got to hang out with.

As to his meeting with Riley, Lin revealed he was starstruck even when they did a dance to the tune of Silentó's "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)." 

In the Reddit Q&A portion, a fan asked how it was meeting Riley and Lin replied, "So starstruck I couldn't even function lol." 

Other cameos from the NBA include Kyle Korver, Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler, and DeAndre Jordan.
