Former National Basketball Association (NBA) player Jeremy Lin appears to have another talent besides basketball: eating quickly.<\/p>\n
While in Singapore for the NBA Rising Stars Invitational, the 37-year-old teamed up with Singaporean competitive eater and content creator Zermatt Neo to see who could finish a BurgerLabo burger the fastest.<\/p>\n
Neo, who has built a following through speed-eating challenges, finished the burger in around 30 seconds. Lin followed shortly after in about 45 seconds. According to Neo, that is unusually fast for someone without competitive eating experience.<\/p>\n
“Among people who are non-professional competitive eaters, he’s one of the quickest I’ve ever seen,” Neo said in the video.<\/p>\n
Jokingly, Neo suggested Lin should consider competitive eating as a “side quest”.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, that’ll be my side career,” Lin replied. “One thing I’m known for among my family and friends is that I eat really fast.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
