What could have been. The Knicks blew it. Jeremy, find a team that will utilize your talent & skills properly. You deserve to be a starter. We'll always be here rooting for you! :)
to be more specific, i think he plays better without stars who ball hog. James harden, melo, kobe(im a huge kobe fan btw). the only teams he's played on had the biggest ballhogs in the history of the nba. he seems fine in charlotte, kemba is a star but he's also unselfish. he would seem to fit teally well with kawhi if he goes to the spurs, but he'd probably play well as long as he avoids the ballhogs.
Finally, Mike WIlbon says what everyone keeps trying to brush aside The guy is athletic as heck He may not be john wall, he may not be dwyane wade, but he has GREAT athleticism for a pg
Magic is very insightful. But when Melo came, he is like "lesser role? what the hell is that?!",and then Woodson came.. I mean, Woodson to melo is like Brown to lebron. But no way melo can compare to lebron when it comes to team basketball, and woodson is simply not geared for championship, or anywhere near. When we talk about example of "lesser role", just watch the 3 guys in Boston around the year 2008.
Lin made every Knicks fan dream about having a team they could always be excited about.......... until management made a huge mistake in letting him go.
if the knicks just followed what magic just said, "play a lesser role"... and make jeremy lin distribute the ball, i believe the knicks would have been tougher to beat. now, mchale, give this kid some playing time.
JEREMY LIN WILL BE A GREAT PG IN THE FUTURE. MAY BE IN ONE DAY HE WILL PLAY WITH LEBRON JAMES IN A TEAM, OR COULD BE KOBE BRYANT TEAM. JEREMY LIN WILL NOT STAY LONG IN NY KNICKS BECAUSE THE KNICKS TOO CHEAP FOR HIM.
D'Antoni's system was perfect Lin. He probably would have avg 18pts/8 assist. Him and D'Antoni were the perfect storm. He wasn't going to have the same level of success with anybody else. With Stoudemire and Melo they had the talent to make a playoff run. Stoudemire bought in. Melo....
Yeah unfortunately Melo returning from injury & D'Antoni having to quit (or forced to quit, ahem) were 2 strikes against Jeremy & Linsanity. But I think it was fate that Jeremy left NY, so that what his only divine mission in NY was to bring them back to 0.500 so they could have a playoff that season when they had a near-decade of no post-seasons prior to 2012 & then they had another drought of no postseasons until 2020 (7 years of drought) after Lin left, with the 2013 season their only other playoff run due to still riding high on Linsanity but without Jeremy. Jeremy did nearly the same thing in Charlotte, if you look at the stats. Charlotte has not had a playoff season even to this day since Jeremy left them (8 years of drought & counting). Not even Kemba Walker alone could have given them another post-season after Lin left. During that playoff, Jeremy gave the Miami Heat a run for their money by stretching it to 7 games. We also have to remember that during that 2011 lockout season in NY, the supposedly Big 3 of the Knicks (Stoudamire, Chandler, Anthony), highly-paid to go to NY, had a win-loss of 8 & 23 prior to Linsanity. That only 8 wins in 23 games created that fan disappointment, desperation & hunger for Linsanity mode to break out. Jeremy is still playing out in Taiwan (& China before that), making 38, 35 & 50 point games & recently won a championship in the Plus League, so now he has 2 pro-ball championship rings. 07/11/24
That fault totally went to Dolan. Melo may have had some influence throwing Lin out, but the whole thing is on Dolan. It's now 2024 & Jeremy now has 2 championship rings in his mid 30's & Melo has zero, permanently, since Melo decided to retire in 2023. 07/11/24
thats BS linsanity lasted for like 6 games lets see them go against D.Rose or Lebron YEAH WHOS LAFFIN NOW!?!?!?!? and rlly? its just lin cmon if hes sooo gr8 how come CARMELO ANTHONY was the knicks player that went to the play east west side super stars huh?!?!??!??!

Jeremy Lin made every basketball fan dream about what it would be like to be in the NBA.
"Melo has to change his game.' LOL!!!!!! Melo don't mind losing as long as he gets his stats.
This This This!
now he is complaining in OKC lol
@@purefatdude2 and now he's out of the league lol
@@d63sx5 and now he's back in portland
even chuncy billups said it. melo more concerned about stats
Knicks was the world's most loved team during that 2 week span until Melo came back.
What could have been. The Knicks blew it. Jeremy, find a team that will utilize your talent & skills properly. You deserve to be a starter. We'll always be here rooting for you! :)
Lin makes his team deadly by getting the ball to the right person at the right time.
Biggest error in the franchise history of the Knicks...he would have paid back that money and then some.
Nate Synik - in one year in merchandise sales alone.
Yep missed opportunity for Asia market.
In my opinion, lin plays better without stars on his team
Laker24lxl very true
gotta admit now that i think about it, that is very true.
to be more specific, i think he plays better without stars who ball hog. James harden, melo, kobe(im a huge kobe fan btw). the only teams he's played on had the biggest ballhogs in the history of the nba. he seems fine in charlotte, kemba is a star but he's also unselfish. he would seem to fit teally well with kawhi if he goes to the spurs, but he'd probably play well as long as he avoids the ballhogs.
+Bryan Trinh agreed!!!! It is too sad to see him having to find a home in a basketball team...he has been in so many teams now :(
as long as those Stars are not Selfish, Arrogant, Iso addicts. Then we have a TEAM GAME like AMAR, TYSON AND SMITH.
Finally, Mike WIlbon says what everyone keeps trying to brush aside
The guy is athletic as heck
He may not be john wall, he may not be dwyane wade, but he has GREAT athleticism for a pg
Jeremy lin is a great player and a great role model, sooo much respects for this guy!
That voice at the end... RIP Stu Scott.
LOL complete opposite when melo came back it became his team again and they started losing again
Magic is very insightful. But when Melo came, he is like "lesser role? what the hell is that?!",and then Woodson came.. I mean, Woodson to melo is like Brown to lebron. But no way melo can compare to lebron when it comes to team basketball, and woodson is simply not geared for championship, or anywhere near.

"Melo has to change".....Geez, what happened if Melo doesn't want to change? Magic Johnson precisely predicted what happened later...
7 years later melo still hasn’t changed, still no chip for melo either
Thanks for posting. Love these post game shows.
Melo screwed Linsanity, period!!
Top agility drill score the Knicks ever tested. One of the top steal rates in the NBA.
NO! Melo will NOT play team basketball, he'd rather get the coach and PG fired.
And now he has a Ring!🤣🤣🤣
Well it's 2 rings now for Jeremy, since he just won a championship in the pro-ball Plus League (Taiwan).
07/11/24
Melo for hall of shame
if the knicks just followed what magic just said, "play a lesser role"... and make jeremy lin distribute the ball, i believe the knicks would have been tougher to beat. now, mchale, give this kid some playing time.
His name is Chris Brousard and is one of the most popular NBA analysts on TV. Can't believe you didn't know that.
Carmelo is still waiting for his ring…
Yup & now he will never get one since he retired a year ago, or a year after you posted this comment.
Jeremy Lin in his prime really was that good. Had he stayed in NY he would have been a whole different player
He is the hardest working sophomore in the world.
Funny thing is Jeremly Lin is in the playoffs NOW and where are the Knicks?
Cant wait for thursday against the heat gonna be a lot of hype thats for sure
Jeremy brings the best out of everyone :)
LOL nekminut Melo doesn't change.
7 carmelo fans didn't like this
Lin for the Win! ahaha Keep it Linteresting and linsanity!
JEREMY LIN WILL BE A GREAT PG IN THE FUTURE. MAY BE IN ONE DAY HE WILL PLAY WITH LEBRON JAMES IN A TEAM, OR COULD BE KOBE BRYANT TEAM. JEREMY LIN WILL NOT STAY LONG IN NY KNICKS BECAUSE THE KNICKS TOO CHEAP FOR HIM.

Stoudemire had chemistry with Lin during Linsanity. IMO AS is being unfairly criticized lately.
Jon got Linfected, got rid of he Haterade
2-8 knicks atm... 11/2014
Melo single handedly ruined the Knicks all because of selfishness
he sure wasnt insane during the heat game
People want to blame Melo for crushing Linsanity and that’s part of it, but Mike Woodson wasn’t a big fan of Lin’s game either.
Yeah unfortunately Melo returning from injury & D'Antoni having to quit (or forced to quit, ahem) were 2 strikes against Jeremy & Linsanity. But I think it was fate that Jeremy left NY, so that what his only divine mission in NY was to bring them back to 0.500 so they could have a playoff that season when they had a near-decade of no post-seasons prior to 2012 & then they had another drought of no postseasons until 2020 (7 years of drought) after Lin left, with the 2013 season their only other playoff run due to still riding high on Linsanity but without Jeremy.

I think Melo liked Jeremy, it was the whole Linsanity craze he hated.
LOL, looks like instead of making Caramel play a "lesser role", they decided to dump Jeremy Lin.
We'll Melo look at ur team now
8-1.... Any questions? Melo is not pg.. So dont blame for not getting everybody involved.. Thats what a pg does.
how?
Melo ruined it all.
Melo take a lesser role/changing his game you say? Never happened 😂
LOL jon barry offering thoughtful analysis... nice try
Amarie???!?!?!?!??!
Analysis? where
ANNNNND, they traded him. lol
That fault totally went to Dolan. Melo may have had some influence throwing Lin out, but the whole thing is on Dolan. It's now 2024 & Jeremy now has 2 championship rings in his mid 30's & Melo has zero, permanently, since Melo decided to retire in 2023.
