That game winner in Toronto just showed how much of a sensation he was everywhere and not just New York, imagine your home stadium cheering for the guy who just iced y’all, crazy.

There's a lot of Chinese/Asians residing in Toronto that's why.

[@kellymccain3403]

The sequence starting at 7:36 just gives me goosebumps. They finally get him the ball and he looks back at the coach as if to say "coach don't worry I've got this". The crowd in Toronto was cheering him so loudly for a second I thought they were in New York. People love clutch performers ...... and this guy was clutch.

[@EezoTheChezo]

Because Toronto fans are good 👍, except for those idiots cheering for kd’s injury

[@officialtansei]

lin did good, but the D there was fucking dogshit, the only play possible with that time left was a 3 pointer, gave him way too much space.

[@robwebnoid5763]

@@officialtansei ... That was debated & discussed long ago. It was said that Calderon gave him space because if he got closer to Lin, Lin might blow right by him towards the basket, because Lin had one of the highest 1st-step metrics when he entered the NBA only a couple years earlier, of which he had already gotten cut 2 times before NY & had not played that many games yet, maybe only nearly one season's worth. Plus, Lin was already running around fast, so Calderon & Raptors knew how fast Lin ran. So there wasn't much to do in the heat of that moment & staying back safely guarding the lane was what Calderon could only have quickly thought of at that point. And I think Jeremy only had one other 3-pointer before this one, so that was another reason Calderon stayed back because he wasn't thinking of Jeremy doing a 3-point ... of which the ball famously fell in.

[@weilam03]

he was fun to watch. he even had Kobe on notice when he was going crazy

Lin constantly feeding Landry the ball made Landry look like a star player that year.

[@jpearson274]

I'm British and lived in New York for a few years in the early 2010s. I had never watched the NBA, didn't really even while in NYC and haven't followed much since, aside from maybe watching a couple highlights from the championship games. Of course I'm well aware of the superstars like Lebron, Curry and Kobe. But aside from those guys I'd struggle to name more than 5-10 NBA players. BUT the one player that always stuck with me was Jeremy Lin. I went to Madison Square Garden whilst he was playing for there and thought he was electric. Now, 10+ years later I'm watching his highlights getting nostalgia of those days. Amazing!

[@jetlytran1084]

Lin’s passes to novac for a 3 always brings a smile to my face

[@sj_leee4995]

everybody thinks lin is a good player because of his basketball iq but his best attribute is actually his speed

[@tdshighlights1]

I don't really agree, did you see the shot he amde against the raptors? That has nothing to do with speed, it's all about confidence

[@snipinmonsta]

Hightubersports I mean look at all his first steps. Dude was very quick. He mad a first step and boom he was gone.

[@JShady7620]

His speed was definitely one of his top weapons but he had an amazing handle and was a great finisher at the rim even though contact!

[@ljvue]

People that hate want Lin to fail so bad. They always point out that it was only an 8 game stretch. But if you look at his whole career, he a better than average player. Nobody said he was Lebron but if any team would’ve invested and built around him as a center piece, he could’ve thrived to his full potential. But, because of the racism, we’ll always be left wondering what he could’ve done.

[@curtisvenom32]

Fr though, people that don’t understand the game don’t see just how much potential this kid had, yes he was only 22 and in his second year in the NBA with literally very little playing time before that! His IQ, ability to read the game. He was very unique athlete. People say he wasn’t the best athlete, but that’s because he’s Asian I’m just being honest about that one. There’s no way you can watch his highlights throughout his career and say he wasn’t a great athlete! Just look how great he was at slashing and hanging in the air, changing directions, his speed and change of speed, everything. Lin literally had the potential to have everything! He could pass, decent shot and if he had made it more consistent from 3 would have literally been unstoppable. Could slash, could dish, great vision, great in the pick and roll, so smart, he literally had it all as a point guard. Perfect textbook point guard in his prime, and was the best team player, good person, made everyone better, he has the ability to run off on everyone and it instantly made the team thrive off of his energy! What he had is so rare in sports and is especially rare now a days in the NBA with star players… He was a natural leader, and was great guy. Always asking questions, always trying to learn and get better, people don’t listen to what the coaches that meshed with had to say about him, especially in his early years in the NBA…

[@videojameplayer1448]

It’s amazing to see as his confidence grew, what he was capable of

[@Jokoman019]

Linsanity was almost like a relationship that’s doomed to fail from the start he clearly deserved to at least prove he could continue his performance in the starting lineup but I also understand that no matter how unfair it seems for better or worse that was carmelos team and with that huge contract they gave him and just the fact that he’s Carmelo they did owe it to him to hand the reigns back to him

[@etchy7665]

Really goes to show, confidence is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in the NBA. Plenty of players in the NBA are skilled enough to be stars, they have what it takes, they wouldn't be in the league if they didn't. It just takes an almost otherworldly amount of mental fortitude to play at such a high level with so much media attention and so many distractions, to stay on your game and to stay in that confident mindset is so difficult when you're under a massive magnifying glass. Everyone talking about you, commenting on your game, making you second guess yourself, and it's only gotten worse in the era of social media. I mean look at guys like Ben Simmons. His confidence is completely destroyed, he's a shell of his former self since that Atlanta series. I feel bad for Jeremy, he literally went from completely unknown, to, practically overnight, being crowned the next superstar of the NBA's most valuable franchise. He wasn't ready for that type of pressure, and who can blame him? Who on earth would be ready for something like that? He had no time to prepare for the amount of exposure he was about to get, the NBA is a cruel place.

[@dobiacco]

Which part of this video made you think "he wasn't ready for that type of pressure"?

[@tinku-j4n]

Lin was the master of the slow step finishes, something that Doncic, Jokic, and SGA do so consistently. This was to throw off the timing of the shot blocker.

Knicks fans and Lin fans have to understand that Lin did this in the strike-shortened 2011-2012 season, when teams were playing a condensed schedule, and not many teams are glued in strike-shortened-seasons. And many of the teams that Lin did his magic was against weak teams. Nets went 22-44 Jazz made the postseason but with a weak 36-30 record. They were the 8th seed in the West Wizards were 20-46 Wolves were 26-40 Raptors were 23-43 The Lakers one is the WOW game, but thats it. Lakers went 41-25

Jeremy Lin earned the ring with what he did in the nba, tons of players get rings they don't deserve even when active. I think jeremy was disappointed he couldn't have done more but I think he'd then just regret selling his soul for a buck. ANd honestly any1 who attempts to make the nba figure heads look bad with unique skills will get ousted. Same thing happened to devin hester more or less in football. They eventually made rules against him and he after a few years of recognition was in the past. It's all controlled and about sleeping with the sports boards.
