I swear Baron was on another podcast saying Melo felt jealous of Lin and was resentful.
Yup.. it's been said before.. we all know that
Bootleg Kev
Fake ah
Yup. He switched up real quick with melo sitting there. Fake bit ch
Yeah you could see it on his face
Bring Jeremy Lin on da show
That’s the only real way to get closure on the Lin/Melo thing.
Lin has said before though that Melo was good to him personally.
For the culture.
Negative
@@joebriggs5781never believe the media about melo being rude to Lin. That was all cap
@@youin24years Nobody needs the media to know melon didn't care for Lin my casual.
Let’s hear J-Lin’s side of how that went. 👀👀👀
Jeremy Lin got too much class and if too respectful to sound out dirty laundry. He's moved on yet this clown pretending like he didn't ruin the most exciting stretch of New York Knick history.
Melo, we ain’t talking about supporting business deals 😂 we talking about supporting ON COURT 😂 don’t try move the goal post 😂
SWEAR this comment should have more likes…….
Best comment
Maaaaannnnnnnn i thought i was the only one ‼️‼️‼️ 🤦🏾♂️
Crazy gawk
🤣🤣💯💯
Nah we need the Jeremy Lin episode now
Lin spoke on this several times. People just refuse to listen.
Wasn't barron davis the one in constant interviews blaming melo and saying melo wasnt had issues with lin? Keep that same energy.
Exactly, he was the one saying before that Melo felt some type of way about Lin becoming so big and that that created tension in the locker room. Now he's on Melo's podcast and being a little puppy dog. Woof Woof.
He never said that
@@kwamemaatranyame-mentuhote9952 he did say that, he's said that a few time's in interviews. Do some research
Melo was only mad cause they were trying to say he was the face of the Knicks
@@dantemayo85he was
Them dudes was hating on Jeremy lin
Calm down this bust had 7 good game everyone glazing him he would get destroyed in this era internet 😂
@@micahjohnson138 bust? Melo's a bust.
@@whatname4613 That why everyone forget lin and melo still relevant
@@micahjohnson138 Melo was supposed to be a superstar championship winner but just ended up being a diva.
@@micahjohnson138how is melo still relevant lol
I don’t know if Melo lying or not, but if he was encouraging him behind the scenes he definitely wasn’t doing it in public
So Baron lying to? He’s co-signing everything Melo is saying. So are they both lying?
@selfmade8884 people love painting Melo like the bad guy. It makes what Iman said about Melo more true, that he will take the blame for alot of shit when he never had to
@@selfmade8884 yeah they are both being disingenuous I mean he is on melo show
Lie for what? You think dudes just making up stories on the spot that makes sense for no reason. Ain’t nobody thinking about Jeremy Lin
@@hexagonoctogon3140u just mad they not saying wat u thought was true lol
It was so clear to see that Carmelo didn't want anyone to steal his shyne..
How clear? Explain?
@@serenityking9333 He didn't want to play with Lin.. Carmelo liked being considered the King of NY. He never liked playing next to anyone stealing his shyne not only Lin. NYC was glad he left.
@@Futuristbillpicone I'm a New Yorker, and when was NY glad he left? Lin didn't have any shine. What about 2-weeks? Lin didn't like his shine. He didn't like the spotlight. I was at many of the Nets and Knicks games, so I'm not sure what you mean. Like I said, go watch Lin's interview. He tells a different story from you. And you all are going by what they show you on TV. It's totally different up close and personal. Half the stuff that goes on at those games isn't shown.
@@serenityking9333 Carmelo leaving was a blessing.. that was the first move to getting where we are now and I didn't only said Lin. Lin and whoever took a little bit of his shyne.. for example Randle got us back into the playoffs.. then we get Brunson and Randle instead of feeling threatened. He plays like a team player like Luka in the Mavs.. Melo was not like that at all.
@@Futuristbillpicone How long ago was it that Melo left? It's funny that you say, "That's why we are where we are now," all because Melo left when Brunson said he would love to play with Melo. As for Luka, although a good player was also ball-dominant, that's why the Mavs weren't getting anywhere until Kyrie came. The ball now spreads across the floor. Luka himself has credited Kyrie with this. George Karl put the narrative about Melo out there, and everybody else just started playing follow the leader. Anyway, I'm just saying watch Lin's interview.
Baron Davis was the one blaming Melo for shit not working with Linsanity wtf🚮
They know they did Lin dirty and are now trying to profit off this clickbait af title
Done dirty by who? Himself for only being a flash in the pan?
You had to be from NYC to really understand how crazy that run was. Time Warner did not carry MSG at the time. Knick fans who had Time Warner were going to the bars to watch the games. Like 2 weeks into the run it got so crazy that Time Warner had to pick up MSG 😂😂😂
Melo all cap rn😂😂😂
Is baron cap also? He’s co-signing everything.
I lived through that time. That's literally exactly how it went
@@selfmade8884 baron in pervious interviews said melo didn’t fuck w him do ya research
@@ShowtimeThaRaptorno he didn’t say that, that’s wat u heard
@@davidbarnes4742 That was only 12 years ago, we all lived through that lmao. The only person who'd say "I lived through that" is someone who was a kid at that time.
Yo bring Jeremy Lin to the show
Bring in Lin for the facts
As a casual Asian NBA fan, that Linsanity run was a lucid dream. Reaching success is one thing but sustaining it is another
That's what melo was telling Lin.
Imagine if Linsanity had the social media presence of today
Lin fans still mad🤣🤣😂 bums
@YEE941 your mom!!!😃😄
Bruh It was 2012! You acting like it was the 90's. The same thing would happen today in 2024. Flash in the pan😂
He did clown. It wasnt even that long ago
@@Patrik1st your mom is a flash in the pan twit!!😀😃
Naw. Dont change the narrative naw. You youreself said it wasnt real Melo
Jeremy was the best thing that happened to the knicks at the time. The NBA as a whole was against Jeremy. A great player that waved Kobe off and hit a game-winning shot!
he played good for one week.... melo played great for a decade plus. kobe played great for a decade plus
The Knicks did not "need" Lin for a fairytale basketball dream. How Melo or ANY Knick player feels does not matter to the Knicks organization. A playoff run, while nice this year, is not a requirement. The Knicks are a TOP 3 grossing NBA franchise simply for being in NYC. You forget they wanted to trade Melo but contractually could not. Like it or not, Linsanity was a fad. Literally, NO-ONE cares today. Lin should have cashed in on Linsanity but didn’t know what to do. Right before it, he was sleeping on a couch about to be fired from the NBA. But yall talking like they let a HoF player go.
@@Patrik1stno one cares? Your definition of no one must be different than every one else's
This just confirms that melo was jealous asf of linsanity- and it wasn’t even from the basketball stand point😭😭 bro was sick this man was selling a bag
Lin saved the NBA after the lockout. Bring Jeremy on the show.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He ain't save nothing you sound stupid
This is cap..these guys really hated!
Amare said that some people on the team didn’t like it… I wonder who it was….
yeah this convo was a little weird because BD did talk about melo feeling a little resentful about lin’s success in another podcast 😂 hopefully we see a jeremy lin episode in the future because it would be dope to hear both sides talk it out.
also jeremy lin was dope but it was def a flash in the pan 😂
Melo is not lying. Linsanity could have been easy $100 million deal with everything in New York. I don't doubt Melo was supporting him because he, Landry Fields and Iman Shumpert were all trying to get him to come out of his shell in public. Not just the court. Then he signed that poison pill contract and it was over. You could have argued that Lin was figured out by Miami prior to his injury but that series would have gone another game or 2. Because you had enough guys to make it interesting. It all worked out though, Lin left, Melo won the scoring title, we got Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby, Kurt Thomas, Rasheed Wallace, and #Knickstape was officially born.
Love this insight
Come on, everyone knows Melo was jealous af and petty. He’s taking Jeremy Lin being humble and trying to turn it into a narrative of something else. You might have been “encouraging” him in terms of business behind the scenes, but guys like D’Antoni and Amare confirmed you behaved resentfully in terms of basketball. Don’t be a snake.
😂😂😂 how you know that? You played for the Knicks?
Big cap. Lin a bum
@@El_Fonzo How do I know that players like D'Antoni and Amare and Baron Davis himself in the past actually confirmed the tension in the locker room with Melo feeling a type of way due to Lin becoming bigger than him at that time? You do realize Baron Davis is capping on here because it's Melo's podcast, right? Don't be so naive please.
@@back2back379 that's not what they just said tho, I with you on the barron davis front, he definitely said that...but as far as media reports go, I don't trust media narratives. They make things up all the time for ratings and attention... someone definitely lying tho.
Truth be told the Knicks didn’t need Melo they had Stoudamire and dantoni’s system which prior to Melo showing up was a top three seed in the east .
1:24 Melo laughing got me like😂
What melois explaining about Linsanity deals: “You can bring a horse to the water but you can’t make it drink!”
I am taiwanese,i dont really like jeremy but i know carmelo is lying,back then when jeremy signed a big contract with rockets,he said "its ridiculous".
It was😂
Right before "that game," he was an undrafted bench rider, sleeping on his friend's couch, about to be fired from the NBA.
@@Patrik1stu mean， “those games”
Even when they found out lin was average Melo told him to take that 30 mil Houston was offering.. Melo never hated on the dude he just knew that Lin wasnt going to last long.. Once Lin took that 30 mil from houston Knicks went to the 2nd Round and won 54 games..
Ppl forget that and they also forget how Phil Jackson came in the next year and gutted that whole team.
This topic will never end 😂 New York sports 👍
CAP !!!!!!! We all know Melo was jealous of Linsanity. Jeremy Lin was the hottest thing since sliced bread in 2011/2012 Melo couldn't stand that Linsanity was the show in nyc, he even said Lin doesn't deserve a 3 year $25 million from the knicks, what he was really saying was, i want Jeremy Lin the f out of NY, so he dont take my shine. Come on Melo, just admit it brother, its all good. We all want the best for us, just own up that you were jealous of Linsanity. I love Melo tho, he's my guy. But Melo was a shady dude in the nba
If I remember this correctly when melo found out what Jeremy lin signed for he couldn't believe it. He felt it was too much.... but I'm not surprised. Carmelo was a horrible teammate, but hey, Jeremy got his ring.....
You’re not remembering correctly. It wasn’t the amount. It was the structure of the contract. It was a “poison pill” contract. The last year of the contract was a crazy number that would have destroyed the salary cap. Melo never hated.
Alot Norris Cole won 2 rings and was out of the league a year after he won his second ring. Lin played himself, and Melo tried to get him paid, and he wasn't trying to hear it
@@MrThesupremeking I don’t believe anything that comes out melo’s mouth was a horrible teammate…. he could score, but that was it
I assume you played with Carmelo then? What no? GTFOOH then.
@@asianpersuasian7248exactly lol
Bring Jeremy Lin on the show
It's crazy how narratives form about a person and stick like crazy glue.
Its not a lie which is why you call it a narrative.
@@Cantstopfactsbruh I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
@@kvn7918don’t listen he don’t like melo bc of the naratives
@@kvn7918 So which part can you not comprehend?
@@kushmob2013 Whether I like him or not is irrelevant.
Lies or Facts. Who tf cares about a narrative goofy?
Melo is full of bs he wanted all the shine and when he lost some of it he didn't embrace Lin at all. No rings MELO!!
10 all star 6 time all nba 3 time Olympic gold medalist NCAA National Champion and MOP MELO💪🏽
Lin sure earned his ring. . lin averaged 1.6 points per game and had 16 did not plays in Toronto's playoff run. a real champ
I will remember Melo as a great talent who fell short in everything he had to do as a no 1 franchise guy.
"Behind" the scenes...melo was 💯% but in front of the cameras it was different?
Yea bc he can’t control what narrative being pushed in front of the cameras but in the locker room it was love. Why people act like this doesn’t happens all the time
@@kushmob2013what?!? so you didn't see his face when they mentioned the contract? yeah OK tell me another one buddy
@@WarTheory looking back you should make the same face. wtf did Lin do he was a role player that had a hot stretch. After that no all nba teams..no all stars…no nothing. That contact would’ve fucked y’all
@@kushmob2013 man stop the cap . This is basically Caitlin Clark in 2012
@@92akucaballero97 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Melo was encouraging Jeremy while he was an unknown sub. But once Linsanity took off, Melo was not about to give control of the offense to Jeremy. D'antoni resigned because Melo said trade me or D'antoni has to go since D'antoni wanted to keep Jeremy the focus of the offense. D'Antoni confirmed this in 2017 when he was coaching Houston.
Lin went to Houston and was benched 20 games in with the same damn coach lol.. So I guess melo was the blame for that lol
@@stefangayden4073 You don't know basketball. Mchale was his coach in Houston. D'Antoni never coached Lin again. His other coaches were Byron Scott at the Lakers. Steve Clifford for the Charlotte Hornets. Atkinson for the Brooklyn Nets. Lloyd Pierce the Hawks and his last NBA coach was Nick Nurse with Toronto where Lin won a chip as a bench warmer.
@@kpkafle I may have my coaches mixed up in Houston But D'antoni was on the coaching staff in Houston.. The point was Lin sucked bruh and Melo tried to help the man before the league caught on.
@@stefangayden4073 D'antoni was never on Mchale's staff. D'antoni was the head coach of the Rockets but Lin was gone by then. That's what my post said, Melo was a Lin supporter until Lin started to take some of the spotlight off him.
I mean… whats the problem???😂😂sounds like a good idea by melo, why tf would you have him the focal point of the offense after just a month of good basketball????
Lin needs to be on this.
So you were supportive behind the scenes but not on camera?? 🧢
Melo resented Jeremy Lin. A good shooting, penetrating point, he was Dantoni’s wet dream.
Melo needed to hold the ball, pat it for 5 seconds slow down the offense and take bad shots.
Jeremy Lin went to Houston for more money & became average
melo needs to pat the ball in his hands for 5 seconds before he's allowed to dribble 😂
@@kwamemaatranyame-mentuhote9952 knicks never offered any contract at all, he would've signed for anything.
I’d love to see him on the show with melo
Lin fans STILL mad. Dude was a flash in the pan.
💯
na man, that dude played for 8 seasons, would still be in the league if he didn't blow out his knee in brooklyn
He wasn't a flash in the pan he was a system guy in mikes offense, and he would have shown out the next season if Dolan didn't fuck everything up.
@@networkingjoe3635 okay he was a good nba role player.
@@networkingjoe3635 LMFAO no one wanted him. the only teams who kept him more than a year (rockets and nets) traded his bum ahh
He was happy to get court time.
Brothers were rough on the only Asian superstar.
A superstar who never made allstar. Make it make sense
Yao Ming was a superstar not him
Yoa Ming is the only Asian superstar. Hes a HoFer, what are you 12? 😂
Just shows if you're non black all you have to do is the bare minimum to recieve praise.
BD high as hell💀
I thought Felton was the better guard because he got exposed after he left the Knicks
Y’all still hating on melo even after retirement. Didn’t know y’all were more qualified to speak on hoops than melo….. cmon y’all lol
POT MEET KETTLE!! Melo’s ego was a KEY reason Jeremy was traded! 😂
A LOT of team haters during Linsanity in Orange and Blue.
iI hope you are trolling. are you are saying its melo fault Lin got traded from the nets to the hawks? because the Knicks never traded him. lin was a free agent when he went to Houston 💀💀💀💀
@@YEE941 people just want to find a reason to hate on melo without even knowing what happened
I wonder if THAT was the whole issue about it tho 🤔
It seems like yall saying you supported and encouraged Linsanity in a marketing sense. But Lin wasnt interested in marketing, Lin wanted to PLAY. He wanted to prove that the Asian kid from Harvard could BALL and could be a star. Maybe he would have preferred support and encouragement in THAT sense, versus a "Hey, you better capitalize off of your 15 minutes of fame !" angle 🤔
Just a guess. Hell, I wasnt there 🤷🏾♂️🤣
Nah this outta pocket. J lin should have been on this pod
Teammates like Stoudemire said it with his whole chest out melo was jealous
It's clear some of you in the comments just started watching the game
Says a grown man with a lebron profile picture
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd how is this a relevant comment?
@@Shabobinit shows you they’re haters fr and they’re not thinking logically and just emotionally
Bro called Lin’s contract “ridiculous”, remember that? 🤔
Melo is a liar, AND my favorite player
Corona Anthony.
Probably not complete falsehood, just that that time was such a whirlwind and in NY. I would say that fellas came across trying to get a piece of the action. I would say JLin came out of it alright all things considered.
Linsanity was the height of the Knicks success. Without it… no story followed.
They used to hate on J-Lin lowkey 😂
i bet at this point even if jlin said this too these haters will still never gonna believe it 🤦♂️
Correct! Lin has said it several times and is still blaming Melo...smh.
Damn that's the problem right there melo is worried about money and lin was worried about the court instead of financial advice should have been working on chemistry together
Bring jeremy lin on now!
Y’all hate melo more than y’all like Lin bc it’s not making sense. When haliburtin left kings he came all star…James harden with the rockets..oladipo…Jalen Brunson…so why didn’t Lin? if he was so good like y’all say
Cuz Lin a bummmmm
That's a horrible argument. He was excelling in a system that fit him perfectly. You don't get that everywhere, especially once Harden went to Houston and became the focal point.
@@oaktree1626 no he was on a hot streak that ended. You can come up with all the excuses you want but he wasn’t HIM fr. He had chances and he flamed out
@@kushmob2013who gives af if he wasn't him. that's the not the point of the argument. lin thrived with d antoni and in ny. he could have developed in his system. no one is talking about his career after
@@chriscc14 lmfao if hes so great he would have had an allstar appearance or something. ur comparing melo to someone who averaged 11 point his whole career
100 mill is pushing but I agree. It could've been something lol
From the outside it looked like melo was hatin🤷🏽♂️
Love you melo but you def was not supportive lol
My wife and I are 'ol school Knicks' fans b4 you were born Melo. Permit me to digress, but were you aware of the fact that Jeremy Lin was a strike "breaker"!! I don't know if it's true but there were Asians in NYC, perhaps Chinatown, that didn't have the channel, "MSG" - a Knicks' cable channel. When "Linsanity" occurred, the strike was resolved and their cable company commenced in televising Knicks' games. Moreover, some box seats remained unoccupied at MSG even though they were purchased, however, during "Linsanity", the people suddenly showed up in their box seats at Madison Square Garden. Also, during another nationally televised Knick game, Novak had eight 3-pointers and as Novak celebrated while returning to the bench, you walked over to him (you were in civvies & injured) and told him to calm down, curbing his and the team's enthusiasm!! My wife and I were shocked at your behavior -- Unbelievable :O smh!!!
So why didn't the owner resign Jeremy Lin from the get-go?
First of all cable companies fight providers ALL THE TIME in NY. All a sudden channels are blocked out.😂 Hype was so high because of everything lining up.
Second:
Your comments show you lack understanding of the NY Knicks role in the NBA. The Knicks did not "need" Lin for your fairytale basketball dream. How Melo or ANY Knick player feels does not matter to the Knicks organization. A playoff run, while nice this year, is not a requirement. The Knicks are a TOP 3 grossing NBA franchise simply for being in NYC. You forget they wanted to trade Melo but contractually could not. Like it or not, Linsanity was a fad. Literally, NO-ONE cares today. Lin should have cashed in on Linsanity but didn’t know what to do. Right before it, he was sleeping on a couch about to be fired from the NBA. But yall talking like they let a HoF player go.
@@Patrik1st I ONLY WROTE BASED ON WHAT I HEARD!!! Concerning the "strike breaker" innuendo, that's precisely what I heard sports anchor(s) report. I KNOW DAMN WELL AND, THEREFORE, AM FULLY KNOWLEDGEABLE WHAT CABLE COMPANIES ARE CAPABLE OF AS FAR AS CONTRACTS!!
@@Patrik1st AND YOUR READING COMPREHENSION LEVELS ARE ABYSMAL!! WHERE IN THE HELL DID I COMMENT THAT THE KNICKS NEEDED LIN??? i AM AWARE THAT LINSANITY WAS TEMPORARY, MOREVER, I SIMPLY STATED HOW SOME OF THE PUBLIC/FANS REACTED TO LIN!! I MOST DEFINITELY DON'T WORSHIP/FEAR ANY MAN!! SO THERE GOES YOUR SNIDE REMARK ABOUT THE FAIRYTALE!!!
With what JB has done in NY can we please put the JLin BS to rest it literally was a few games
I don’t think Melo disliked Lin 🤷🏾♂️ we talking about the same guy who took blame for literally anything dealing with New York. If he really ain’t want the linsanity thing to happen he wouldn’t had said play Lin more bottom line
He was embracing it until melo brought his shot jacking ass back from injury...the knicks had something good going then Melo messed it up...d'antoni never forgave melo
Imagine if he cared about winning more than 30
Dam melo fucked up lin leading yall to the ring…even though y’all had a better record without him the next year? bc he’s a 1st ballot hall of famer right?
45 turnovers through his first seven starts but it’s someone else’s fault that they put him back in his role
@@kushmob2013knicks were getting booed every single game before linsanity. he saved their season and melos career in ny
@@chriscc14 then why they have a better record without him
Ehhhh.. he’s still emphasizing the END of Linsanity more than the actual happening of Linsanity.. and all that locker room stuff can kinda take different tones depending on where it’s coming from.. you could be trying to support him or trying to little bro him and make it sound like support (so you’re not “technically” being an asshole lol).. that’s not hard to see through..
I’ll put it this way, I’m not really a Melo fan (respect the game though), I’m not a Lin fan, I’m not a Knicks fan.. but that Linsanity was one of the coolest, most memorable “mini series” that I’ve ever seen in sports.. shit was magical..
And maybe it was never supposed to last.. but it doesn’t *sound* like Melo was loving it lol.. and I mean, I get it.. it’s like the jock watching the nerd bag his girl.. it’s not supposed to feel good.. but the whole point of it is to learn how to be truly *great*, which has to come from a deeper place than the ego..
Or maybe not and I’m just talking out of my ass.. who knows, who cares lol
Y'all had been stars in your own teams, playing in the NBA was like daily life for y'all while Lin, who was nearly cut before Linsanity happened, just found his footing in the league. He's goning to think "How do I keep this up and stay in the League" not how to make a 100M deal. That doesn't sound like the support he needs.
lol shoutout to B-Diddy & Melo, but they weren’t feeling that shit at the time. Not buying it 😭
Melo was lowkey jealous of him at the time we they could of won a deep playoff run with Lin but then again maybe he wasn’t ready for the spotlight
"Scoring 30 meant too much to Melo"
All we know is that J Lin has more rings than these two fools. Melo could’ve had one too but his ego said he was still a “starter” towards the end of his career 🤣
A bench warmer with a ring 😂😂😂. J Lin will never come close to Carmelo. And we don't need feelings we have the stats and data to back it up.
Why be supportive “behind the scenes” ?
Sounds like - yall was ok with him getting him money but not ok with him being the face of the Knicks.
Man they on some BS. How u trying to capitalize beyond basketball when he was literally sleeping on a couch. That doesn't sound right. He was trying to survive. Melo out here playing damage control and BD was literally 1 of the players that said Melo was hating 🤦♂️
Melo thinks we don’t know he’s the reason Jeremy Lin didn’t flourish. Melo ego wouldn’t allow Lin to grow. Melo was a hater!!!! The nerve to talk about Linsanity. You stunted his growth because of JEALOUSY!!!
Melo hated on Jeremy Lin 100% get him on the show to refute this nonsense. It was reported all over the place that Melo came back and put an end to linsanity
If you cares this much you would know Jeremy lin himself already refuted this point lmaooo.
Naw they was hating on Lin
melo singlehandedly killed linsanity cuz he couldn't stomach someone else being a star on his team
Carmelo the last dude i want to hear talk. He’s to blame, screw Carmelo. I used to be a fan when I was a kid then he did Lin wrong. For that, I donated his jerseys and moved on.
I clicked on this to see whether they would be honest and basically they alluded to the fact that they disrespected Lin and didn’t appreciate what he did for the team. Baron was a waste of space. Melo was completely unappreciative of everything Lin did while he was injured. Chandler, Lin and Melo could have been a dynamic force during that period of time. But Melo was just too greedy. Sad time in Knick history.
not calling him a bum I’m just stating he hasn’t done nothing in his career to warrant a “what if” he’s not Broy…Drose…Grant Hill…Tmac. Injury didn’t derail him. He just wasn’t that good. You guys trying to blame a player on why another player wasn’t sucessful and he’s the one who advocated for him in the 1st place. No blame on the coaches and owners. Y’all blame melo the one who helped start this linsanity bs y’all so delusional about
Revisionist history. Melo didn’t try hiding his hate for Lin, and Baron Davis already corroborated that, but now he’s on the podcast getting a bag, so morals are out the window I guess.
This entire podcast is Melo trying to save his image as a basketball player. Good podcast, but you have to pick the BS out every once in a while.
Linsanity was the bs. The Knicks did not "need" Lin for a fairytale basketball dream. How Melo or ANY Knick player feels does not matter to the Knicks organization. A playoff run, while nice this year, is not a requirement. The Knicks are a TOP 3 grossing NBA franchise simply for being in NYC. You may have forgotten they wanted to trade Melo but contractually could not. Like it or not, Linsanity was a fad. Literally, NO-ONE cares today.

Sure Melo…
Jeremy Lin blew his own bag.
He was in control of his value on the court, he blew it behind the scenes, and let the media blame Melo.
J Lin got a ring Melo still ring less.
