That’s all it will ever be a 6 game distant memory kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3utgGeNeN-mb7csi=UNoqMT-4JsFH5JiY

[@Magicstockton]

Melo jealousy. Lin was literally on his way out the league before D’antoni gave him a shot. When you are one of the best at what you do and some person comes along that’s not touted as high as you gets the same shine/ more shine than you, it does make you feel a way. Carmelo probably called Bron and told him to shut Lin down.

6 weeks of lin more memorable than 6 yrs of melo

[@Max-kw2hp]

Yeah most memorable moment from Melo was when he was perplexed about a concept of coming off the bench in OKC

Lin is thee most overrated athlete ever. Lin was mid to below everywhere he went outside of the knicks

[@asdowo111]

D'Antoni spearheaded Linsanity. The fast paced playstyle of Lin with pick and rolls with Tyson Chandler elevated that. He was unlucky to have played with 2 ballhogs in Anthony and Harden plus with injuries, it was game over.

[@jakelogan4266]

Carmelo's ego killed Linsanity

[@TriceOfficial]

Hard not to think so…I’d love to hear what was going on behind the scenes from Melo’s perspective, as well as the rest of the Knicks. Until then, all we have to go off of is the accounts of the people who have spoken up, and most of them point to Carmelo feeling some type of way about the situation!

[@bball3048mmfr]

@@TriceOfficial We'll never know because the truth could hurt his "brand" post retirement.

[@moneyball647]

It's pretty obvious what they did behind the scene. Carmelo's agent was Mike Woodson's agent. And Carmelo was close with the Dolan. Carmelo taking veiled slights on Lin along with JR Smith's comments. Those guys are just selfish dudes. Not a shocker. Then you have Carmelo's spin doctors in Stephen A Smith stirring the pot.

[@gkilla4964]

I think it was partially that but when the rockets offered him all that money it didn’t seem right to match it. It was special to watch Linsanity tho you had to be there 💯

[@Barak144]

Anybody trying to blame Melo because teams started to realize that Jeremy Lin can’t go left is dumb. If you’re a great player you are a great player. He got exposed that’s all. The Knicks was right not to overpay him like the rockets soon realized they did. 😂

[@dofufu]

His stint with the Hornets was the best version of him. K.walker and J Lin back court duo was exciting to watch. Too bad they lost to D Wade and the Heats. Pressure and performance in Toronto ended his career for sure, even though he won a ring but he was a bench warmer...

[@Barak144]

He wasn’t even on the bench when the won the chip 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3utgGeNeN-mb7csi=UNoqMT-4JsFH5JiY

Melo will forever be remembered for killing Linsanity. Melo’s ego is the reason he never won a title. He’s never been a team player.

[@sssamui286]

in the post game threads of the heat vs hawks series in 2022 people were mentioning how good the heats defense was to end linsanity as explanation about why trae was terrible that series

[@TheLeeWhiteShow]

He flourished in Dantonis system. It was the best for him at the pro level..... Once he left NY it was over.

[@TriceOfficial]

To me, this is one of the biggest factors. I know people like to point the finger at Melo, but Lin thrived in that Dantoni system!

[@Barak144]

He got exposed for not being able to go left. He was overrated because nobody ever saw an Asian guy as a guard play good in the league period. He was a first and a last. Same reaction will happen if we see an East Indian do the same thing. League saw an opportunity to tap into another market so they blew it out of proportion.

[@Niran333]

@@Barak144not sure how scoring 38 points over Kobe deserves to be labelled as blowing out of proportion. Stop it with all this no left nonsense already 👎

[@SexyUndisputed2All]

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 he said it was over. Gtgouh. Did well in Houston Even with that slob harden by his side and McHale screaming at him on every other timeout cause he couldn't touch harden and his no D. Just say you didn't watch him except for the no highlights of his games on biased espn

[@kendrickmanhattan8861]

This video actually mentioned my theory and my theory was is and always will be the Heat they exposed him he honestly was never the same after Miami even before the injury

[@MrShaneVicious]

Mike D'Antoni killed it by resigning. D'Antoni's system worked well for Lin.

[@TriceOfficial]

I think this might have been the BIGGEST factor in the whole thing.

[@MrShaneVicious]

@@TriceOfficial D'Antoni gave Lin more freedom than any coach in the NBA. Lin probably hadn't had that much freedom since he was back at Harvard .

[@cookincurry30ph]

If it is true that Melo is the reason behind the end of Linsanity, I can only say that Jeremy deserves the ring he wore, and Melo truly deserves not having any, retiring without a ring to wear, and hopefully not retiring his Nuggets jersey, with Jokic being the one to retire it. The only thing Melo deserves in retirement is the memory that his ego destroyed the chance of being teammates with Linsanity. If all these rumors are true, it is proof that harbored ego brings no good.

His accomplishments in and out (international competitions) of the NBA was great but Anthony is a sore loser! Number 1 of what he did to Lin and number 2, Joker's number to whom he had issues. Check that ego Melo lol

Now china owns the NBA 😂

[@smokeyfreshhh]

answer: carmelo anthony is a hater

[@DarkStout.]

So if the rockets second offer wasn't actually more lucrative than the first but made it harder for nyk to match, than Jeremy simply chose Houston over NYK. And if he's saying he never had any conflict or tension with Melo then why do people keep saying Melo pushed him out? Make it make sense. Jeremy made his choice, stop blaming melo

Racism

[@mikeyjames]

Lin’s downfall had nothing to do with racism. This is poor excuse to try to blame others for his game falling off when in fact it was the injury he picked up that ended his run. He’s not the first player this has happened to and it won’t be the last. We saw the same thing happened to Brandon Roy at the height of his career and Brandon Joy had better numbers then Lin. Ray was approaching superstar status when Injuries ended his career. At least Lin got other chances and won a championship.

[@jj47k.]

Was Yao Ming based off racism? Lin had his opportunities l.

[@ajca69420]

Racism ended Linsanity. Come on!

[@SexyUndisputed2All]

I gotta add this. All these only watched his run in NY highlights on KZbin "fans". Amazing how these comments talk shit bout lin. If he was so mid or sub he'd wouldn't have been staring for multiple teams right? Like I said RACISM why he gets si much hate. Just youtube "Jeremy lin flagrant". No other baller got roughed up like Jeremy lin did with 0.0 calls
