Jeremy Lin had his worst game by far as a Knicks starter in last night's loss to the Miami Heat—and with all the "Linept" and "Linvisible" sports headlines, he's bound to be bummed out today. Thankfully, he can console himself with music that was created expressly to soothe such sadgasms: grunge!
Jimmy Fallon paid loving tribute to Lin last night by spoofing Pearl Jam's classic "Jeremy," just as he paid tribute to Tim Tebow with a David Bowie spoof earlier this year. Fallon put on his best Eddie Vedder face and voice for lines such as: "At home, shooting free throws and three point shots/waiting for a job, name not yet a pun/Carmelo injury, came out of nowhere like an Asian Tebow." Watch the whole thing above, check out the lyrics below, and just be glad he didn't throw a curveball and try out a version of Nirvana's "Lin Bloom."
At home, shooting free throws and three point shots, Waiting for a job, name not yet a pun Carmelo injury, came out of nowhere like an Asian Tebow
The Knicks were 8-15, oh and before that no one really cared
Now Jeremy is winning and the Knicks don't suck
Jeremy Linsanity, Jeremy LinsanityClearly I remember picking on the boy, seemed a little Harvard nerd
when he beat Kobe Bryant,
set a screen and took it to the hole to show that Asian men can drive,
and he hit them with a surprise three, the crowd went crazy, now he's famous
just turned down a date with Kim KardashianSpike Lee's on the sideline cheering, and tickets to a game costs 800 bucks
Now that the Knicks are winning, it's a miracle
Jeremy Linsanity, Jeremy LinsanityTrying to bank this off the backboard
