Jeremy Lin Game Winner @ Toronto Raptors 14/2/12

[@chuchuchuchia]

This shot is actually one of the greatest game winners this decade, if not top 50 all time. The fact that he told his team to back off, drain off 15 seconds and then just pull up with 100% confidence and 200% swagger. If this was a star we'd be seeing the clip all the time.

It wasn’t just Asians cheering for Lin during that time... it was every person who believes in an underdog story. Asian, Harvard, Christian, “normal” sized, undrafted, cut twice, about to be cut again, takes over the basketball world on the biggest stage there is... what’s there not to like.

I wish I was 22 stil. I’m 31 now. Word of advice. Enjoy the fuk out of your 20s while you still can. You’ll be 30 before you know it. Sht changes. Body starts to slow down a little. A couple grey hairs here and there. Harder to lose weight. Hangovers are worse. So I say. Long as you ain’t hurting nobody. Enjoy it man. Party, kiss that girl you been flirting with. Go out.

l'm a Chinese Canadian from Toronto and a raps fan but l couldn't help but cheer for Lin in this game. because it was was truly the first time l saw a Chinese star do something spectacular in any of the major 4 professional sports league. l think about 60-70% of the fans that night were Asian so of course we cheered for one of our own. lt was also Asian heritage night at the ACC that game which was why so many Asians were there.

Jeremy Lin is an amazing player, humble, talented, not afraid to play his style of basketball and to be confident that his team can come back. In all the games he's played so far, win or lose, he did his best, he played with his heart, he deserves respect. No one will have a perfect game every night, that's not the point, everyone loses at some point or go through slumps. But you learn about life through this process, and he's doing it as well as anyone ever could have. Proud of you Jeremy Lin!

It's so interesting to go back and watch these video clips again. How incredible! What's also amazing is how he gets the ball to his teammates close to the basket so they can score more easily. Tyson Chandler must have loved playing with him. One of the funniest things about Linsanity was D"Antoni's press conference after the game with Utah and D"Antoni replied, when asked if he'd played Lin too many minutes, "Yes, I'm riding him like frigging Secretariat." So funny! Take care.

[@dsjanc]

The warriors and rockets didn't give Lin any chance and kicked him out. The Knicks used Lin and he lead the knicks into playoffs...and basically kicked him out after that. The rockets begged Lin and got him back and made the playoff last year and this year, the rockets are solidly in the 4th seed. GUESS WHAT.... the rockets are planning to kick him out again and made him a bench player. These teams used Lin and spit him right out. now, Keith Smart of the warriors got fired. Mike Woodson of the knicks just got fired. and now, Mchale of the rockets is being talked about getting fired. They have fixed and prejudice minds....that they can't even be decent coaches... In short, Asians can be funny and smart...but being athletic? Get the fuck outta here. Racism does exist.

[@007BlackCanary]

I agree with everything you said especially the part where you said the Knicks used him because that is EXACTLY what they did smh. They should have never released him.
