NBA star Jeremy Lin recently got a major guest role in a Taiwanese music video by Jay Chou.

Jeremy Lin, music video star? The newest member of the Brooklyn Nets recently popped up with a major cameo in a video by Taiwanese sensation Jay Chou. Lin appears throughout the video for the song with a title that translates to “Turkish Ice Cream.”

On Friday, Lin was pretty excited about the whole thing and posted the full-length YouTube video online via his Twitter page. Check it out below.

Jay Chou isn’t too well known in the United States. He’s a Taiwanese musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and director. Chou released his debut album in 2000. Some people may know him from his role as “Cato” in The Green Hornet film starring Seth Rogen. Chou may be sharing some ideas with Lin who recently was the star of his own fictional “Space Jam 3” sequel.

Chou’s latest music video features Lin doing a variety of things from showing off his dance moves to shooting hoops. Lin actually falls to Chou as the two participate in one of those arcade-style hoops shooting games.

Overall the video is stylish and popping with colors. The background music is catchy and Lin has some humorous scenes to watch. It’s clear that Lin has a fanbase that is worldwide, which is always a good thing for the NBA and his team.

The Nets will be counting on their new star this season. He helped lead a resurgence for the Charlotte Hornets this past season as the team got into the postseason. Lin played valuable minutes and a necessary role in the team’s success. That led to his offseason signing with Brooklyn on a three-year, $36 million deal.
