Jeremy Lin is many things. A skilled passer. A gifted playmaker. At times, he can be an explosive scorer.
One thing he is not, however, is a singer.
But then, neither are many of his Houston Rockets teammates, as one can see in a new holiday video featuring the Rockets ringing in Hanukkah with their version of "The Dreidel Song."
Sung off-key and with smiles on their faces, Lin, Chandler Parsons, Carlos Delfino and other Rockets players had a little holiday fun as they tried their hand in singing an old holiday favorite, the song "I Have a Little Dreidel", more commonly known as "The Dreidel Song," made popular as a children's song that celebrates the Jewish holiday.
While none of the Rockets are Jewish themselves, the Huffington Post noted that there are currently two NBA players are known to have Jewish backgrounds; that would be power forward Amar'e Stoudemire of the New York Knicks and forward Omri Casspi of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The video is a hit among fans on the web.
"Jeremy's singing brings us a great joy for Christmas. May I suggest him to lead the team mates to sing another Christmas song, maybe on the court after game on December 25? This will be fantastic for all the audience!" writes Youtube user Diana Ip from Hong Kong.
"Delfino is the best, JLin musrtve felt so awkward," wrote user mortalkombatpro.
Yi Ching Pan, another YouTube fan, wrote, "haha so funny."
YouTube user TeachESL summed up the Rockets' performance in one word: "OY!"
