Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin is now going to play an integral part in the team’s 2014-15 campaign. With Steve Nash ruled out for the season with a back injury, it’ll be up to Lin to run the point from here on out.
And he’s a versatile guy. Not only is he a good basketball player, but he’s also a solid actor.
Lin recently dressed up as an Adidas salesperson and went undercover at the company’s flagship store in Taipei, Taiwan.
He introduced himself as shoe employee Wang Wei-Chih. And he did a great job of selling his new identity to some unsuspecting customers.

The best part of the video was when one boy asked Lin if he played basketball. The Lakers guard calmly answered him and delivered a great response.
“Not really, I prefer soccer,” he said.
