The Jeremy Lin Show Vs. New Jersey Nets (2/4/12)

The New York Knicks take on the New Jersey Nets as they are coming from a loss with the Boston Celtics. The team was in need of a point guard and a spark for the team. This game marks the beginning of the rise and "linsanity" of Jeremy Lin, a Taiwanese American who graduated from Harvard with a degree in Economics and came into the NBA as an undrafted free agent.

[@Ahluk1]

I'll never get tired of seeing his teammates so happy for him

@Mooish Man the nba has huge deals with china, which is why lebron can't say anything bad about the chiense government when it came to hong kong protests. nba games have been aired in china since the 90s. the nba makes SO MUCH money on merch from chinese fans cause the market is 4 times much bigger there.

[@19biglou]

I come back here every couple months just to see him hit that reverse layup and split the double team in those last few clips... I'm not even from NY but I don't think I've ever experienced anything like Linsanity while watching sports... Things like the emergence of Steph Curry, LeBron dropping 40+ points on 64% and/or a triple double in 13 consecutive games, Giannis taking off from the elbow 3 times in 8 games while putting up at least 33, 13, 8, 3 and 3 or Devin Hester's best season come close, but there was just something magical about Linsanity that nothing else has come near...

[@BSBPOTTERLINSIM]

[@wwspd7105]

Carmelo is overrated at the Knicks

[@Landeniscool1234]

There are so many variables that cause good things that don't need to be fixed, changed by either jealousy or money contracts!! One thing anyone can say "what if?" as far as what if Jeremy would've never been traded or went to Houston. Im originally from NY and was an original Knick fan. I had never witnessed how 1 player could electrify the garden moreso than Lin the way he did. Not because he was perfect or the best athletic performer, but because of his tenacity and unselfishness! Yes he was asian and yes that might've made the crowd and team more attracted to the novelty of his performance, but he was an extreme breath of fresh air to the Knickerbocker franchise!! Whatever the cause of his departure was an infortunate loss for NYC! He could've been a fixture for them and they may have been competetors with the elite teams even til today!! Now he's a Raptor! Good luck and fortune to him and cudos for the excitement he brought for the knicks night in and out!!

[@zenzenchi]

[@positivedirection9503]

Carmelo was mad at the style of play more than Lin. Melo wanted to play ISO but D'Antoni wanted to push the pace and that style as we all know today Melo never could handle. If he could shine too he would have been ok with playing with Lin but Mike wasn't having it being that ISO jab step bslow down ball movement play and in the end he was fired cause Dolan loved Melo like he was Jordan

[@Jahadyn]

I'm 60 years old and I can think of only a handful of moments where something I saw in sports was so moving that I can watch the highlights of it again and again without it ever getting old. The 1980 USA Hockey gold. Jimmy V's Wolfpack winning the championship against Phi Slamma Jamma. Kirk Gibson's pinch hit HR in the Serious. Jeter's "flip" to Posada. Moments where I was literally jumping around my living room screaming at the unbelievable thing that had just happened. That whole period of time where Jeremy Lin went from "Who?" to superstar ranks right up there in that I can still watch all these highlights and I find myself grinning like the Cheshire Cat at every bit of it. I sometimes wonder if the Knicks failure to bring him back was partly that they and the NBA did not want the face of NY basketball to be an Asian-American. Sad if true. One thing I know for true -- I will NEVER forget those six weeks of watching the most unexpected of underdogs take the NBA by storm.
