Lin’s last-minute, game-winning heroics have helped the injury-ridden Knicks turn their season around since he joined the lineup early this month.
Think of basketball’s version of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and you’re on the right track.
Now, Jimmy Fallon has stepped up to deliver a tribute to the new basketball star: Fallon becomes Eddie Vedder as Pearl Jam sings “Jeremy (Lin).”
Here’s a sample of the updated lyrics:
"The Knicks were 8 and 15
Oh and before that, no one really cared
Now Jeremy is winning
And the Knicks don’t suck
Jeremy Lin-sanity"
Pearl Jam – Jeremy (Lin)
