      -- Lin was a good starter. But it hurt playing behind ball dominant Harden in Houston. Then he bounced to LAL with Kobe and Kobe is just mentally on another level.
      His best year? Playing off the bench behind Kemba and the Hornets, playing 26mpg as a spark off the bench (not heavy minutes). I understand his desire to start with BKN but that Hornets team was perfect for him. Regardless, Linsanity was awesssommmmmmmeeeeee.

      he balled out but Baron rightly points out that guys come out of nowhere on a 10 day or two way and make a name every season. Lin got most of the ink because of his identity, not bc an unknown player had never cooked like that. all said and done, 9 seasons in the NBA and the part people will remember is less than 8 weeks in NY. good player who had a great run but he won't be a Hall of Fame player

    Linsanity ended when D'antoni asked Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, to trade Melo since the offense would stagnate when Melo got the ball and he went back to playing one on one when he got back from injury. Don't forget Melo was injured during Linsanity that is why Jeremy was given control of the offense. D'antoni wanted to keep playing with Jeremy controlling the ball and running the team as Nash lite. The owner chose Melo and D'antoni quit. He quit only a couple of weeks after Melo returned from injury. That ended Linsanity not because of the Heatles. The Heat stopped him that one game but it was Melo returning that really ended it.

      @@BigDilf3 From NY Times article in 2012: Finally, on Wednesday morning, D’Antoni asked to meet with team officials and with James L. Dolan, the Madison Square Garden chairman. D’Antoni asked Dolan if he would be open to trading Anthony before Thursday’s 3 p.m. trading deadline, according to a person briefed on the meeting. When Dolan said no, D’Antoni offered to resign.
      D’Antoni never fully sold Anthony on his offensive system, which is predicated on ball and player movement and the premise that whoever is open takes the shot. Anthony thrives in isolation play - the antithesis of D’Antoni’s philosophy - and he is most comfortable as a primary ball-handler. That role is now filled by Jeremy Lin, the point guard.

      I'm from NYC and no joke EVERYONE was talking about him. Every teacher in every class I took in high school at the time was talking about the Asian kid who came off the Knicks bench and went on an insane run. I think he was in the newspaper everyday, I would wake up everyday and me and my dad would be in shock because he just kept coming back the next game and destroying NBA veterans. The Laker game was the best game and just hearing Baron Davis talk about what he was telling Kobe, you could tell that one game where he wrecked the Lakers was something that spilled over when he started playing against him. Kobe lived to go off at MSG and for Jeremy Lin to take the spotlight from him that night in a loss definitely hurt.

AND the linsanity run came about when Melo was out injured and Star was out for personal reasons and there was no number 1 option. but as Baron Davis is saying it should have just been looked at as a hot streak. If hes struggling dealing with the media attention and the circus around him why would they expect him to be a 20+ a game scorer after 3 good weeks? Especially as a second year player they got off the waiver wire? Davis got it right, let him play with a bit of freedom but hes not gonna turn into our number one or two option after 3 weeks.

    • @robwebnoid5763
      @robwebnoid5763 Месяц назад +1

      Melo, Amare & Tyson were supposed to be the next anticipated, AND HIGHLY PAID, Big 3 of the Knicks, yet when that lockout season began, they only won 8 out of the first 23 games, sinking them under 0.500. That stat was so bad it even made the newspapers because again it was supposed to be a good season due to the Big 3. Not only that but the Knicks had a near-decade of no playoff years before 2012. This was why Linsanity was amplified & energized, because fans in NY had been starving to death for anything good, decent & exciting. They needed a proper & healthy guard, which became Jeremy which was a surprise to many, yet he was huge at Harvard & highschool (player of the year in Cali at one point). Those pre-NBA stats didn't seem to be on anyone's radar. When Lin left NY, the Knicks only had 1 more good season afterward due to still riding high on the Linsanity vibes the previous season, but without Jeremy. But after that, they had 7 years straight of nothing again, not until 2020. Not even Melo could save them as he stayed in NY for 4 more years. So if anything, Lin's divine mission in NY was to keep the team afloat at or above 0.500 so that they could even have another rare playoff run. Lin did something similar at Charlotte, even breaking their 14-year Hornets curse of no playoff wins & also giving the Miami Heat a run for the money by giving them a full 7-game playoff. The Hornets have not had anymore playoff seasons since Jeremy left them in 2016, which is now 8 years straight of nothing, even up to today. Things seem to be getting a little better with the Knicks these days but it's still nothing compared to Linsanity, which was actually 2 months, not 2 weeks or 7 games as people say. Jeremy now has 2 championship rings.

      -- Melo was a great scorer, bruiser. BUT ALSO, he was selfish, never cared for defense so his teams struggled to get out the first round playoffs. His overall +/-? Barely above 0...so whether he scored 20 or 50 pts, if he didn' t player, his team would be in a similar boat.
      He may be a Top 10 scorer but he's also overrated as a player. He's by default a bottom Top 75 player to me

    In summary, the return of Carmelo Anthony led to the end of Jeremy Lin's career with the Knicks. Recently, Jeremy mentioned on his brother's podcast that the Knicks at that time were a team without cohesion and full of infighting. He said that if he hadn't been so humble back then and had fought for himself, it might have led to a different outcome for his NBA career.

    • @robwebnoid5763

    I’m along suffering Knicks fan. I was completely caught up in Linsanity. It was completely magical. Jeremy Lin being Asian wasn’t what I focused on. What I did focus on was his flair, his passing ability, his scoring ability and bringing those WINS a to the Knicks. MSG was rocking and I wouldn’t see that excitement for the team again until this season. Linsanity and this past season gave me a taste of what it feels like to have hope in your team. Hope that they can quite possibly do something. That’s a feeling I haven’t had for the Knicks in a LONG TIME.

    • @robwebnoid5763
      @robwebnoid5763 Месяц назад

      Yeah, the Knicks had a near-decade of no postseasons before Linsanity hit in early 2012. Also, the Knicks won only 8 of those first 23 games before that fateful night against the Nets. The highly anticipated -- and highly paid -- Big 3 of Amare, Melo & Tyson was supposed to save the Knicks for that lockout season, but was immediately disappointing, with those first bad losses even making the newspapers. That was what amplified & magnified Linsanity, because you & the rest of the fans had been starving to death for those prior 10 years. After Lin left NY, the Knicks had 1 more good playoff run the next season, due to still riding high on the fumes & vibes of Linsanity, without Jeremy, but after that, they had 7 years straight of nothing again, not until 2020. Things seem to be getting better again, but it will most likely be nothing compared to what happened in 2012. Many others have said the last time anything was that exciting prior to Linsanity was during the mid-late 1990's with Patrick Ewing, or during their time when they had 14 straight years of postseasons starting in 1987.

    When Melo comes back, is simply painful to watch his ISO game. Backing down his opponents on the post and then dribbling out of shot clock. This slow pace iso game in which all shooters just stand still and watch Melo going iso is simply PAINFUL TO WATCH. If Jeremy Lin never became a superstar during that period, fans will tolerate Melo iso ball. It's all Jeremy Lin's fault that fans got bored with iso game of Melo.

Davis was one of the leaders of the 2007 “We Believe” Warriors that beat #1 seed Dallas as the 8th seed. Not just that, but that was the first time the Warriors made the playoffs in like 15 years. If not for Steph Curry and the 4 NBA titles, the “We Believe” team would probably be considered the best Warrior team in the last 40+ years. Even at that, long time Warrior fans still think highly of that team. It was like the turning point of the franchise.
