You guys spoke, I listened, no more facecam videos till further notice
Yung Mustard you do you man, it’s your channel, you post great content💯
Do face cams they better
Rather the face cams tbh
This is better thx
Thank you, lmao your vids are more authentic this way
Lin got his revenge by winning a ring first
That’s facts
Got his revenge by riding the bench for his first championship lol
melo aint winning a ring lmao dude can barely get a job
@@Swelly1994 still got it thought
Aka Showtime it’s really annoying when people say that I’m not even a melo fan and I agree with the video but Jeremy Lin’s career failing is 1000 percent his fault. So Robert Horry had a better career than mj since he won 7 and Jordan won 6 the logic in that is so stupid so he had a better career than Allen Iverson as well lol🤣
Melo couldn’t take the fact that the offense worked more efficiently with Lin as the star because it kept pace and assists were up
I love Lin but there’s no way he would have kept up that kind of play. He’s solid but he’s not a star.
@@jomantis5 not a star but he was a solid contributor averaging 15/5/4 on 44/37/82 shooting during the 2016-17 season but couldn't stay healthy
Jefferson Steelflex he was going to be that guy in Brooklyn, litterally had 18 and 9 before tearing his patella in the season opener so tragic
@@jomantis5 he was on his way to be a star but the jealous ass of Melo couldn't handle it
The offense worked better when melo returned. But that ruins the narrative
Unfortunately this is too common in the real world. Al ot of people with big egos don't like seeing others succeed. The sad part is that the Knicks tolerated Melos behavior.
Thats what makes players like curry and damian lillard even more valueable
What do you expect, they're the Knicks
Plus black people have some weird dislike towards Asians. I’m half black and Asian, so I’ve seen it all over the US. I’m willing to chalk Melo’s attitude as just him being his usual narcissistic selfish self, but I wouldn’t put it past him that he also has the same subtle racism against Asians that the black community has in general
@@skytron22 bro what black community you apart of lol I don't know not one black person that even thinks about an Asian let alone talk about one
@@jtrisvan8047 west coast, east coast. Everywhere where there’s actual Asians, unlike wherever you live. I mean, it’s easy to not think about a group of people when you don’t see/interact with them daily
This is why, mark my words, Melo will NEVER get a ring
Unless lillard carries his ass to a ring smh
He's a total dick
As a Portland supporter. I will refuse to believe ur words.
@@devinl3256 ok goodluck
Lol did he think blazers were going to beat lakers😂
damn. i didnt know this about melo. makes sense why he cant win a ring . Lin didnt deserve how he was treated in the NBA.
Farley 925 u realize Lin had chances to be great the last 7 years
the NBA failed Lin man fr
@@Carmelo-dame.time-Anthony he never got the touches he needed with the rockets. He proved he could still play with the Nets, before the injuries..
David Gomez who fault is that he never touches?
@@Carmelo-dame.time-Anthony Melo, Harden and Kobe
Melo still thinks he’s in the same league as lebron and mj 😂
JB Smoov he doesnt think that....who said....bullshiting
When the fuck did he ever think that ?
Melo is weakkkk no wonder no body wants him anymore
Tyrone Huge lmfao he’s 36 years old and clearly the trailblazers wanted him .... are you stupid? Do you possess logic
Joshua Farmer did he play? No! He’s just a useless mascot like u! Stupid!
Lin ran the D’Antoni offense with perfection. Melo has an iso game.
Bull freakin crap. Lin ran nothing but his own career out the window.
@@extremedrivr Do you ever see James Harden play? Did you ever see Nash play? Thats how that offense works.
@@TheDustin151 And no rings because Dantoni has no good defensive presence. Besides Harden isos way more then Melo.
@@extremedrivr If you see, I disliked your comment, just lettin you know
@@bootyfulhoes6668 Harden iso's but he also moves the ball around when the defense keys on him. When the defense keys on Melo he takes ugly contested shots.
Chauncey saying that about Melo puts it into perspective. That Pistons squad was a team that epitomized teamwork over superstar play. Melo the type a guy that scores 30 on a loss and is happy but when the team wins and he scores 20 he's mad... like wtf that's a terrible team mentality.
maybe drafting Darko really was the right choice lmao.
Edit: Ben Wallace saying it's better to not have drafted melo ruclips.net/video/LROSddLf-Xc/видео.html
@@TheNamesDitto Melo would've messed their chemistry up
Piston squad was like that under Larry brown, and they hated him for it. He left, and look st the #s following year. Different team.
Melo a sore loser. Was never a fan to begin with
It hurts so bad. D'antoni wanted to build around Lin. If only that would've happened...
Would have watched every Knicks game if that had happened
Lin’s plays were slick
D’antoni said the complete opposite on jj reddick’s podcast
@@Trip.L.L.L Nobody more delusional then the one hit wonder fanboys
@@Trip.L.L.L Exactly. D'Antoni was going to cut Lin but was convinced by his brother and his assistant coach to give him a chance. What also saved Lin was that Baron Davis wasn't ready to come back yet, so Lin stayed an extra game which was the game that started Linsanity. D'Antoni just got lucky with Lin. There was never any plan to build the team around him.
A friend of mine who is a athletic trainer and is friends with Jared Jeffries said back then that Jeffries confronted Carmelo over his treatment of Lin and that Mello tried to blackball Jeffries as a result of him defending Lin. He also said that they had numerous team meetings prior to Carmelo coming back to the team to address his toxic play and they were worried he would ruin the team chemistry upon his return.
Jared bum ass Jeffries lmao .. shows how toxic he was next season they won 54 games .. Jared Jeffries lost the fucking playoff game vs the Celtics .. he’s on the short list with Charles smith as one of the worst Knicks ever lolol
He better than Jeremy Lin causal ..
@@Riches84 Bro shut the fuck up
@@Riches84 lol, listen to you talking abt all time worst knicks... and defending melon?.... ask any nyk fan, melon destroyed one of the NBA's greatest franchises and they still havent recovered 10+ yrs after his destruction
Your blaming melo for the knicks being trash since 1999 ? He wasn’t even there .. no knicks fan would say melo destroyed the knicks ..let’s start with bad contracts ..mark Jackson .. Allan Houston .. Larry Johnson all had terrible.. Isaiah Thomas .. was bad for the team .. Amare 100 million was a problem .. trading Ewing .. tons of shit .. and you blame melo .. you ever heard of James Dolan ? Your a Knick casual .. don’t tell me about my team .. I know
An egoistic player like Melo will always spell trouble for a team.
marvininer L
@@Carmelo-dame.time-Anthony ???????????
And that's the blazers started winning when they got him if the whole team wasn't injured probably would sit at the 7th seed rn
Carmelo half melo half iron man Anthony do you solely exist just to say L to anybody that opposes Melo? Calm down. The dude is selfish
Melo had the physical gifts and skills for the NBA, but mentally he was still in high school.
This is why he doesn't have a championship
KBTITAN24 L
Connor Lovell nah, he just ran into Kobe like Malone ran into mj for example. Knicks did 10x better without Lin the next year with jr, Felton, and Tyson as his main guys
@@Carmelo-dame.time-Anthony no carmelo is ass lmfao shutcho fanboy bitchass the fuck up LMAOOOO
Fr to me Carmelo is and has always been overrated
ChoZen imagine telling a first ballot HOF is ass😂
and now he is Jealous of what Jokic has done
I remember this, when Lin took over the Knicks were on fire. The analysts kept saying "well this won't keep happening" I was like "well give it a chance, let's see." Knicks would have been better with Lin and without Anthony
But lin didnt take over!!
@@extremedrivr Yes he did.
He fit their style better and was a better team player.
@@B..P.. that's exactly the point. Lin not taking over allowed the Knicks to work as a single more efficient unit. Instead the system that worked without Carmelo turned into the "Carmelo and friends" show. Hate people like him. All scoring and no defense. Doing the easy work and then forcing his team to defend is anything but goat. Don't forget all the money he sucked from NY instead of giving them more space to get him better players. Melo was/is/will be a cancerous player til the day he dies.
Bro considering the fact that Jeremy lin was still new to the NBA was crazy
Lin must of won multiple MVPS and made all star teams the way you guys jerk off the one hit wonder
This is all facts. Carmelo Anthony is one of the most overated players in NBA history. Melo played for stats, not for wins.
The Nuggets played much better team basketball after the big trade.
Now that's Westbrook.
@@r.o.o.k. Dumbest take I've ever heard, do you even understand basketball? No one in the league puts more effort on the court than Westbrook, both ways.
Yung Mustard, your videos are great and I want to encourage you to keep up the high quality. Really enjoying the career retrospective series.
Lin showed us Asians we could ball too
Dont forget Yao Ming
Been a Knicks fan for almost 16 years now, it’s just a cycle. We get filled with hope and then something just comes to ruin it. Really thought jeremy Lin was gonna workout for us but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. He seems like a super cool guy though and I wish him the best. Personally feel like linsanity was the most fun New York basketball was in a while
Damn man, reading this on 22. it is happening just as you said
As a knicks hater, that dubious randle contact gives me life.
Also take into account the drought of no Knicks post-seasons before & after Linsanity. Before Jeremy came along, there were 8 of 10 seasons prior without playoffs. And afterwards, another 7 straight seasons of no post -season... until 2020. Sure they had a good season in 2012-2013, post-Lin, but that was about it, done for another 7 years of nothing. If anything, Jeremy's "divine" short mission during lockout 2011-2012 was to bring the Knicks back to 0.500 so they could have a post-season. Some may call these things a coincidence, but when Jeremy, as a devout Christian, desperately prayed that he could stay in the league after being cut twice prior, you might have to think otherwise. But it's not just about prayers, you have to work on that prayer. He did the same thing in Charlotte, where he got the Hornets into the post-season in 2015-2016, after a decade of nothingness with only 1 other prior post-season & 1 other later post-season without him, but the rest of those decades before & after were also blanks of no playoffs. As far as LIn staying in NY, the handwriting was on the wall when D'Antoni left & the full story of that hasn't really come out & probably never will, with Melo having also been a rumored suspect in that. Then take into account that James Dolan said he would "pay a billion dollars" jokingly to keep Lin, but when Houston's poison pill came along, Dolan's billion-dollar promise (even though it was a joke) went up in smoke. Lin is currently playing in Taiwan (after his stint in China), & has also put up a 38-point high there, just as he did a 38 in New York & a 38 in Houston. That number 38 sure is "odd" though (pun intended) & seems to have followed Lin wherever he goes.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. The other great time to be a Knicks fan was when Amare joined the team and with Felton, Wilson Chandler, and Danilo Galanari, the team was winning like crazy. Then Melo ruined that and of course Melo also ruined Linsanity. The guy was just a cancer to any team he was on.
Carmelo is selfish that's y the rocket didn't want him after 10 games he doesn't deserve a farewell season his not worth it
Joel Marte karma hit him hard 😁
That doesn’t make sense because harden is prolly more selfish and so is Westbrook
@@joydebmukherjee7405 Westbrook avg a triple double and harden has more ast per game then melo look at the stats
That slow mo Lin and Kobe bro tap got me, that's respect right there especially after what Jeremy has went through to live his dream. RIP to the Mamba & Gigi.
i always wondered why Jeremy Lin just suddenly stopped playing the rest of that season...not surprised that this is the reason at all
He wanted to secure a damn contract that all it was, the HEAT killed some of his stock and he wasn't going to let it continue so he sat out with a "partial knee tear" and didn't return against the Heat in the playoffs even though he was 85% and the Knicks were banged up
Carmelo Anthony did hold back Jeremy Lin and these are facts.
How ? He went to Houston and never averaged over 13 points .. and the same for ever other team he was on .. that’s melo fault too ?
@@Riches84 He was never the main star for any of those teams, he's legitimately an all-star caliber player if he's the main star of the team and the coaching is right, dont disrespect lins game
No disrespecting his game at all .. but he’s no all star .. you can’t be a All-Star and not be able to go left .. stop it he’s good because he made it to the league .. but he was mediocre in a league of talented people
@@Riches84 hes not in the league and underrated because of his race.. starting pattrick mccaw over him is the biggest example for anyone who knows ball.. the same can be said for black people when it comes to jobs education and romance.
@@Riches84 That's not melo's fault but he could have embraced him like, "Yeah, that's my guy!". The Knicks should have kept him and gotten a proven vet to help him develope.
You gotta understand, when Lin was in Houston, he went to play for a coach that really didn't value him and play Lin to his strenghts, talking about Kevin McKail.
Then they went out and got a young Harden who never saw a shot he didn't like. This was prob worse than playing with Melo. He didn't avg more than 13, yeah, but he was still very solid in Houston, 13 a game with 6 assists. In NY he would have been a good 20ppg scorer with about 8-9assist a game for sure.
Since Lin left NY, he got jerked around by coaches A LOT!. 2 of them, Mchaile and Byron Scott did him DIRTY!
Look at where they at now? Those two prob will never get another chance at coaching again.
During those times, he could have been developing really nicely in NY.
Its nice seeing your expression with the facecam but also nice seeing the players as well. Maybe do both? Make it primarily the footage but with your sometimes your facecam reaction.
Melo got jealous and couldnt handle sharing the spotlight in the knicks. Linsanity was the best thing that ever happened in NYK. Was surprised it cut short.
If you look a Lin's climb to the NBA it wasn't out of no where, he just kept getting passed over because they were skeptical. But he worked hard and climbed to the top on his own, with his talent and skill. He should still be in the NBA but...... I hope one day they'll start another ABA league
Poor Lin, he worked so hard to pursue his dream yoo his voices should be heard too
Chauncey Billups was traded with Melo, not for him. It was Raymond Felton
who got traded for him.
The crazy thing is the way Lin plays, he still would have gotten his 25-28ppg playing with Lin. His IQ is off the charts and is a great passer too.
Facts. Thank you for this video. Even if Lin had not put up the numbers he did during Linsanity, he also brought hustle, and energy to them at the time. Funny that the MSG networks played Linsanity week and Carmelo will NEVER have a highlight week like that from his days as a Knick.
It was such an exciting moment for the Knicks and NBA in general.
facecam or no idgaf, i just value your basketball opinion frien
Keep grinding bro ya vids good man yunnnng mustarddd 😎
OMG! WOW! I can't believe you're doing a story on this very subject. I've said this in several basketball videos , for the last 4 years. And NY fans that love Carmelo was telling how I was lying and didn't know what I was talking about. Camelo's jealousy of h being in the spotlight caused him to freeze Lin out on the court several times, he would hate on him right there on the court. Carmelo created a following amongst his teammates, that seemed to play and work against Jeremy Lin's Success. I was pissed watching black players act that way towards a teammate just because he was getting the spotlight.
I appreciate you bro coming from an asian for being honest. Im Chinese/Puerto Rican. Carmelo is half rican I always followed his career and liked him as a player. I was always in denial of the Lin situation but hearing Billups interview kinda cemented the situation. Its a shame that team had a really deep bench actually and was dangerous.
Who can give us back our Lin to NBA🥺🥺
Yea he should have been playing he should be with the nets, Spurs , hawks or bucks.
Jeremy Lin's one ring is more valuable than both of KD's
True, however KD's talent > Lin's

keep up the good content man!! love ur vids
The point you made about Nash and D'Antoni's coaching style and formations is one of the most important factors to the success of Nash beyond his previous years.
Dantoni would’ve gotten Lin an MVP factssssss! Carmelo Anthony was one of the worst things to ever happen to the knicks factsssssss!
So he was one of the worst things to lead that failing ass franchise to 54 wins and a top team in the East....and finally being exciting after being trash for like 10 years straight and getting back to the playoffs and losing because his help was inconsistent...but go off 😏😏
@@damienhawkes5001 well he did get eliminated in the second round, and didn't make the playoffs for another 5 years
Michel Sugg Shit your super dumb ass up Jeremy would of been a mvp nut melo is trash 🤨🤨🤨😒😒😒🤔🤔🤔🤔🤭😂😂😂😂 those drugs must be carried he truth
Indyana so he was on good teams that didn’t go to the playoffs 😏 Anthony Davis made the playoffs twice in 7 years so what do you think of him
Damien Hawkes While Anthony Davis is younger and a better player, that has nothing to do with this. I’m just sating that even on good teams, Carmelo can barely make the playoffs and even when he does he chokes miserably.
How are you not getting as many views recently?! You're videos are 100% real and fire!! Thanks for putting out another great and true video. Keep up the great work!!!
Yung mustard maybe u should do both, face cam and showing highlights
Can’t blame Carmelo for Lin’s fallout. How many players have had hot streaks like Lin had? Where’s Isaiah Thomas at? Cant gauge a players career off of a hot streak of games. This should be titled “why I don’t like Carmelo Anthony.”
your name should be CARMELO D* RIDER ANTHONY
@@x-SDL-x theres already someone with that name who pathetically worships / stans for carmelo in this comment section named "Carmelo THE RUSS DEFENDER Antony" just sad
Carmelo fangirl
Totally agreed with what you said about the jealousy Lin faces. It is not easy playing against ball dominant players like Camelo A, James H, and Kobe B. And it's crazy spoiled players like Camelo dare to say Lin's contract is ridiculous out loud. Just show how low can he get.
Hey man just wanted to say I love your videos. Keep making fire content
Thanks for voicing for Jeremy Lin.
Damn someone finally spoke up for linsanity 💪🏽🔥
Just refreshing hearing a brotha respect an Asians guys game. (I’m korean). And a Lin fan.
I applaud and appreciate you for making this video. I still like Carmelo, but hated how he treated Lin, and hated his severe character flaws, and flaws in his game. Namely defense and lack of playmaking. He was a good passer when engaged.....he was good at everything when engaged enough. Melo could have been a top 10-15 player, if he had of dedicated himself to defense and winning. He was a good rebounder, and had all the tools to be a good defender, had he cared enough. As good as he was, I still feel he was one of the worse waste of talents the NBA ever saw.
This messed up the first half of Jeremy's career and then injuries messed up the second
Never liked melo, great player but bad attitude
He was never that great of a player to begin with. He was good at putting up points and horrible at everything else. Selfish, one dimensional, and now washed.
He grew up with gangsters, how good do you expect for him? He is already a good p
Damn I forgot about that Chauncey interview. Hearing it again is damning for Melo 😂
Shoutout to you for making this video
I'm among the very few Bulls fans who didn't want Melo to sign with Chicago. Even though he matured today, everything you said is why I was never enamored with him. Great player with a huge ego which is affecting the latter half of his career.
Great 📹. We always though Lin was underrated. He was just one of those fit guys. And Dantoni was the best fit for his play style.
I mean tho injuries also ruined Linsanity. He had the quickest first step in his draft combine. A small, non-physical guard needs good athleticism more than anybody else. Same reason why Isaiah Thomas fell off. Not saying Melo did nothing wrong tho
Na Isaiah was totally different bruh was just done wrong even playing thru the injury he was putting up numbers
@@dpolanco96 Kind of but not really. When he was playing through the hip injury during the 2017 playoffs, it was still minor. However the Celtics medical staff had advised him to possibly sit out for the playoffs because of it, but he refused to. During the ECF vs the Cavs, he went and inflamed it. THAT was what messed up his career. Danny Ainge traded him because he knew that injury would affect his athleticism in the long term, but also knew that other teams weren't aware of the seriousness yet. During the off season before the trade, the talk around the league was still about Isaiah finally getting a max deal the following year. That's why so many people felt like swapping IT for Kyrie was a perfectly fair trade. In fact, it wasn't even uncommon to hear that the Cavs actually won the trade.
I do kind of agree that Ainge did him dirty because of everything IT sacrificed to help that team win. I feel like he should have at least called him to let him know the situation. But ultimately, Ainge just did his job, and that's why he's one of the top execs in the NBA
KingDavid god dam lol I ain’t tryna read that but you right
he was as fast as john wall in the sprint, that knee slowed his attacking game down.
@@dpolanco96 IT was playing through way to much injury its harder for less freak of nature guys to come back from that.
I love how everybody says melo “ran him out of town” melo is not in the front office. The Knicks didint wanna match that kind of offer on a guy they didint think would keep up that kind of play, and what do you know? He didint. And Lin pissed off Kobe all the same, Kobe ACTUALLY got him traded and even told Lin and some other saying “goodbye bums” so get off Melos meat
Jeremy Lin's desire for the game spoke for itself. He was an unselfish point guard that could do it all.
Dude, thanks for the video that stand up for JL.
I’m still surprised that Dolan let Jeremy Lin leave. That amount of money Lin was putting into his pockets through jersey sales, and tickets was crazy.
Get back Lin in NBA
Recall LIN!
Love this video. This still feel so fresh. NYC Basketball was coming out of it's decade long conundrum. They should had shipped Carmelo out of town for some pieces and build the team around Tyson and Lin.
Good content subscribed!!!!
Carmelo could have been a contender with the Globetrotters.
This is some deep analysis , great job. Before the Linsanity area i hadn't watched 1 single game played by NY Knicks and i am from the West Coast. Linsanity actually put that team across the country at that time. Lin got so much potential and with all those hypes, the people could make so much money out of him by doing endorsement especially for the Asia global market. We all know China is a tremendous market. How many Nike shoes they could sell at that time if Jlin got treated good and shined. BUT NO, someone fucked him up so bad. When he got to other NBA teams, they only treated him as backup 2nd class player. The guy didn't have a "fair" chance to become a super star.
I actually liked the face cam. I think something you could try to please both parties is have highlights playing in the background like you used to but when you want to put emphasis on a specific thing ur talking about go to the face cam
yo i didn’t know coach put him on blast like that 😳
I always think about how great Lin would’ve been if Mike Dantoni stayed with NY. Lin would’ve definitely been an All-Star
Lin is more of a system player, nothing wrong with that
@@Native722 I agree. My point is Dantoni’s system and style was perfect for Lin
I feel you but we can’t pretend like Linn wouldn’t have still been injury-prone if he stayed with the Knicks. Linn also failed to adapt to playing with Harden bc he wanted the ball.
bomberbcm Bro the coach hated him. McHale always blamed him and never believed in him. No coach did he almost become a star in BK with Kenny Atkinson the only coach who believed he could be a star.
@@steventanyikhai7344
I wish Jeremy never got hurt on the Nets he would have been an all star.
@@controversialmann5345 100% facts. Kenny Atkinson was also in New York during the whole Linsanity Hype so he knew what Lin could do. Lets also add in the fact Lin had to take a back seat because Harden & Kobe...people be forgetting this. Heck Harden couldn't even share the ball with CP3 a True PG lmfao.
Love it, thanks for this.
Don't be afraid to lose one of the spaces where your people thrive, Melo. You'll never lose it if you share it.
melo got some insecurities as lin is taking the spot light - making their team gain more Ws. he forgot that there is no I in Team.
Carmelo low key plotting on how he can get rid of Damian Lillard.
Lmao
He old AF now he belongs on the bench
@@Garnachogoat He should partner up with Trump as VP on next election, as they both have a thing against china
Being from Houston I agree with you on Lin and Melo. Dude had game and his career was cut short. I was upset when we got rid of him and he went to go play for the Knicks then blew up for a minute. Anyway nice commentary and facts.
Great video! I actually liked the face cam.
I don’t disagree with any of your points but to say that if he doesn’t get a job next season you won’t even feel bad is kind of rough. Especially after having sympathy for Jeremy Lin for not getting another job in the nba. Did melo have to cry to get you to feel bad after not having a job for a whole season? Or do you just hate melo? Personally I think melo has changed his ways after not having a job for a whole season. ( no hate towards Jeremy Lin I think Jeremy was underrated and does deserve a spot in the nba) but I think you’re being unfair to current day melo.
I agree with the points made about Carmelo, but it's the claim that Jeremy Lin could have been a world beater that puts me down. Like someone already stated, if you can have star-like stats in a SINGLE team and working with a SINGLE system, then you're not a star. He had his fair share of chances with other franchises. Literally no one except Knicks could find something for him? Absolutely no one? And all the blame falls on Melo?
I don't buy it, and that's my personal opinion, not putting up facts. Had Lin been that good, we should have heard more of him in the past few years after he left New York. Granted, we may have seen more of Linsanity had Melo backed down a little. But that argument can be put for every player in every team that had a strong start but eventually faded.
Melo is selfish, we all know that, be it the Lin situation or not. But he is definitely not the one who ruined Jeremy's career or anything.
you have to put it in context though. what led to jeremy not getting minutes, not getting drafted from harvard, cut by golden state and the rockets, despite how good he is? there's a level of racism at play here. he was overlooked OVER AND OVER. literally d'antoni played lin that first night cause there was LITERALLY no one else he could play due to so many injuries on the team.
when he went to houston, the coach preferred playing patrick beverly over lin, and james harden was the ball handler. if the coach doesnt want to play you and when he does play you doesnt let you play to your strengths, you are limited. i'm not saying it is all racism, but it plays a role. the proof is looking at his history. the proof is looking at linsanity numbers that rival jordan's numbers. i'm not saying he is michael jordan or even close- but if your entire life everyone doubts you including all your colleagues and coaches, it is a huge hurdle to overcome. in the middle of linsanity, floyd mayweather tweeted how the only reason jeremy is getting attention is because he is asian and that black players do the same thigns he does every night. this is super telling. you are seeing someone play at superstar levels, but you are believing he can't be that good because of the way he looks.
@@sydandtaytum agreed, racism is at play here, anyone who disagrees can watch Kenyon Martin's video on Lin.
But then why is Melo unanimously declared as the reason for Lin's obscurity? Unfair
Bro thank you I have been saying this for years!!
Even the automatically generated captions thought you said A'mare Stud Admire.
Soo the 54-28 Knicks didn’t happen Melo was a winner before and after Lin it wasn’t until they couldn’t build around him and amares body broke down. Lin preformed amazing but even after many teams picking him up and trying to replicate his Lin sanity stardom he didn’t perform up to standards and was relinquished to the bench. Any point guard looks god like in 7 seconds or less. Theirs no question why Melo was second in mvp voting in 2013.
All the teams he went to he didn't get playing time or had ballhoggers (James Harden).
No one wanted to believe his game like D'Antoni.
but hey he got a RING. lol Melo can choke on that.
who tried replicating linsanity? ....
The rockets after immediately signing HArden as #1 PG?
The Lakers, who gave him less than 10 shots a game?
The Hornets, who made him 2nd option to Kemba?
Nis Ngambanjong Lin should have never left the Knicks Melo said the Knicks finally have a PG they can trust and that he can create his own shot, Lin was good but amare was the problem as he was gonna be the worst out the three and have the least touches, Melo has no problem with ball dominate PGs as he played with AI (a fake point guard). Lin didn’t play in the playoffs against heat even tho Lin said he was almost at a 100% and that’s why the Knicks had a falling out with him and declined two contracts and one match from the Knicks. If it weren’t for injuries he’d be a startingPG for an nba team right now
Nis Ngambanjong A ring is not an individual but a team accomplishment if we’re talking accolades Melo takes the cake but. Could have contributed more to the raptors Ring but the team was already good enough and trying to give Lin to many minutes is a big gamble especially in the middle end of the season when there chemistry was perfect. Lin could of made big plays in the playoffs if it weren’t for Fred playing his ass off and Lowry staying healthy. He was putting up 19.6 per 36 which is in sane for coming of the bench, i believe he’s being blacked ball as he should be a staring PG in the nba
@@yasinali1447 Hey Beautifully said man. I live in Miami, been a fan since '06, and as much as I LOVE JLin, everyone knows why Lin didn't play around here lol (2012 I watched as we ended Linsanity. He was 1/11 at the AA arena LOL) Bro we were straight bullies that year & We woulda shut him down again. To be honest, I think it's more of money. Knicks didn't match Houston's offer that year (14 million/year), + Mike D'Antoni had left. If I were Jeremy, I'd prolly go to Houston too (starting job, more money) but yeah everyone know Harden is PG/SG/SF there. Lin was third wheel if anything for Harden & Superman dynamic.
I wished he'd stayed there too but things happen for a reason. Yea he didn't contribute much but now he has a ring plus he's trying to get one in China and he'll most likely will. Not a lot of people can say they got rings in NBA & CBA. For him being of asian descent that is pretty huge.
Plus he still got time to come back to NBA if he really wanted too. I personally think he'll come back but hey only time will tell right?
he was on fire while playing for the knicks but they chose Carmelo over linsanity era their lost. Good thing he got a ring with Raptor🍺🍺
Great video. There were (and still are) too many black players in the NBA who think that other players can't be as good as them because they ain't black Americans. I'd have to count Kobe and Carmelo among them. The fact remains that as soon as the Knicks got a winning team under Jeremy Lim, Carmelo put an immediate stop to their winning.
Actually Melo didn't ruin Lin's career, he just ruined the Knicks. Melo just a strait up hater. Lin was nice on houston. Had a great bounce back year in Charlotte, after the Lakers debacle. He was also looking good on the Nets until the injuries.
Excuses
but tbh i just watch the videos because of the content and the interest thanks for making these videos 💯
Glad melo never got a ring but lin did 💍
Yes please keep the voice overs it’s sm better than the face cams
Ironic that Mello helped start Linsanity and then got jealous and put an end to it.
Only the Knicks ALLOWED LIN to run a team and be the quarterback the whole game, and what happened?
He made a mediocre team played like everyone was an MVP, team ball even Chandler and Jeffries
were offensive threats. Every other team he was not given the opportunity to LEAD A TEAM. LIN'S genius
is his high IQ ON THE FLOOR, deciphering and calculating ways to beat you while making everyone around
him play better. He was smart enough to make adjustments and even without real playing time experience
he proved he could win. Carmelo and most Blacks hated him, were jealous he got all that attention and
discriminated him except his teammates and Knicks fans. Shame on you.
"most blacks hated him" NONSENSE
High key liked the face cam
Me too man :(, Hopefully he brings it back
Same
I like this version better, but it's not like I disliked the face cam. It's good too
Great video bro💪😷subscribed.. I believe Chauncey
I like your logic man. True. Subscribing 🤘
I just googled if Melo has a ring but guess what he has no ring at all and Jeremy at least has 1 so screw you Melo you'll never get a ring before you retire. I wish Jeremy stayed in New York he would have gotten a championship or at least got to the finals and Linsanity will live on forever.
Camelo doesn't know basketball is a team sport
he does he's just selfish
xihuantiyu he does, but he wants the spot light onto him.
There's an old Korean saying, "70 percent luck and 30 percent your own skill" Lin was unlucky but he not the only one that's unlucky
Love ya! Homie well spoken and spoke on linsanity perfectly.. damn wonder what would have been.. could have been
Agree with all your points
Melo wanted the bag while Lin got the ring💯🔥🙅🏾♂️
You speak the truth. Love your content.

You need more than 1 superstar on a team to win a championship, Denver still has not Won, who's fault is that?
Why did Lin fail? Cause he played with another offensive superstar in Houston so you’re gonna tell me he would continue this with a player who was scoring more at the time?
he kept getting hurt and never got in a PG system, but he still put solid numbers up.
I've always been a Carmelo fan but that was a bitch move by him-!!!
being a half taiwanese, im super proud that someone with our heritage made it to the nba and actually managed to stay there.
not saying he was gon be a superstar but he legit could play, just had bad luck with injuries.
and man, i was always a defender of melos in terms of saying he could still contribute but man, remembering this shit makes me regret doing that lol
I absolutely hope that Jokic gets 15 retired rather than Melo in Denver would be so fitting on top of not having a ring compared to Lin & Jokic
