Former New York Knick Jeremy Lin announced Friday he will soon be signing a contract to play with the Brooklyn Nets.

The deal is reportedly worth $36 million over three years.

He made the announcement on Twitter:

Lin made a sudden and major splash with the Knicks during the 2011-2012 season.

While playing backup point guard to an injured Knicks lineup, he inspired the mania known as "Linsanity" with high-scoring performances and game-winning baskets.

Since then he has played for the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and Charlotte Hornets.
