‘Jeremy Lin That I Used to Know’ Gotye Parody (VIDEO)

Now and then I think of when we played together
Like when you shot a jumper right in Kobe’s eye
Bought a ticket back to MSG
Activated my cable TV
But that was back before you tore your left meniscus

It’s official. Jeremy Lin is not returning to the New York Knicks, after team owner James Dolan declined to match the Houston Rockets’ three-year, $25.1 million offer to the free agent.

NOC, an entertainment YouTube channel about athletes, has created a send-off for the 23-year-old point guard, based on Gotye’s hit song, “Somebody That I Used to Know,” lamenting Lin’s absence from Madison Square Garden and asking why he had to sign so high.

After the news broke, Lin tweeted:

Extremely excited and honored to be a Houston Rocket again!! #RedNation
