Jeremy Lin: ‘I’m not playing basketball in a diaper’

Jeremy Lin is already doing great things in his still brief tenure in Brooklyn, showing tremendous ability both on and off the basketball court. Seriously, we’ve only played 5 preseason games and he’s easily the most popular player to every wear a Brooklyn Nets jersey. It’s incredible.

Anyway, Lin is not only the team’s best basketball player, but he’s charming and capable of transcending his basketball fame. Here, we see Lin playing a comedic role in a Comedy Central digital series called Viralocity.

In it, Lin surprises “Nets fans” outside of Barclays Center. It didn’t, well, go as planned — the comedic ‘rule of five,’ though! However, we did get a really great soundbite from Lin, where he declares that he won’t ever play basketball in a diaper. Not never.

Welcome home, Jeremy. Brooklyn is happy to have you.
