Jeremy Lin news update: 'Linsanity' returns as Lin guest-stars in Taiwanese singer's music video
It has been a while since the NBA was struck with "Linsanity," but Jeremy Lin is easily one of the most noticeable Asian players in the NBA. Other than basketball, Lin has also decided to showcase some of his other talents in Jay Chou's music video "Turkish Ice Cream."
The report comes from the Washington Post, and Chou's music video will remind viewers of a little video by Korean singer PSY called "Gangnam Style." Aside from the weird title, the video is chock-full of loud colors, cute boys dancing, and Jeremy Lin doing basketball things with Jay Chou. The video also showcases Lin playing classical music on a piano as Chou sits on top of it.
Audiences outside of Taiwan will remember Jay Chou as Kato in Seth Rogen's "Green Hornet" reboot back in 2011. Though the movie was not met with good reviews from critics, Chou was praised for his martial arts skills, and some considered him to fit the role that Bruce Lee made popular quite well.
Going back to Jeremy Lin, Lin has played for a total of five teams in the NBA throughout his career, and he is currently playing for the Brooklyn Nets. He reached the height of his popularity back in 2012 when "Linsanity" hit the U.S., and he is one of the first players in the NBA to be of Taiwanese descent (that of which he is very proud of).
Marvin Williams, a former teammate of Lin, had this to say about his popularity: "When we went to China ... I've never seen anything like that. It was literally the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen ... When we landed and the door opened, there were instantly people rushing onto the place with cameras trying to find him. It was crazy."
Though Lin is not as popular as he once was in the NBA, his fans in the east are always happy to see what the star of "Linsanity" is up to.
