The story behind the linsanity is amazing. He was on his last 10 days contract, living on his friends couch. This was gonna be his last chance to prove he is capable of playing in the NBA. There's a documentary on his career, really inspiring. I have nothing but respect for this man and always will.

brothers couch, who is a doctor in NYC. and then blackballed from the nba

[@prepaidtrash5552]

living on a couch while making millions in the nba? why is being bad with finances inspiring to you

[@buhnana6117]

@@prepaidtrash5552 not everyone in the nba makes millions a year. Lin had ten days to prove himself to the NBA or else he’d be cut from his team, so he got up and started playing his ass off. I don’t see how that isn’t inspirational, he was an overlooked bench player who wanted it more than anything else in the world.

[@disphugginflip9279]

@Questions Yeah, the worst bench players who ride the bench all year. Lin wasnt even a bench player then, he got a 10 day contract. A 10 day contract is 50k to 130k depending on the experience of the player. Since its a young Lin, its probably on the lower end. Don't get me wrong, 50k for 10 days is great money, but you cant live off that. Especially in NYC or The Bay Area where hes from.

[@josephhart271]

Your joking right

[@chrisp7110]

Yeah. I don't know if anyone saw, but when Jeremy Lin was playing for the Warriors, every time he took the floor, the fans stood up, cheered and clapped. He was the first Asian American born to be playing on that level, while other players were from China, Japan or Korea. That set history, but the sad part was the NBA as an organization decided to ghost him out afterwards. He played more minutes for the CBA (China's Pros) and P-League(Taiwan's pros).

[@abouttime2569]

@@chrisp7110 Ghost him out? Not sure what you are talking about. Lin got a big contract with the Rockets then his role as a shooter didn't suit his style of basketball because Harden was a better player and both had to be ball dominant to shine. Then injuries haunted Lin.

[@lkh300]

At least Lin was lucky to cross path with Coach D'Antoni, the only person in the league who had truly given him an opportunity to shine. Thanks to the digital age, the negative bias against Lin by the NBA community is well documented.

[@fakename503]

To be fair (unfair?), there's as Asian bias in all American sports. Even in Baseball which is 10-20% Asian dominated, (a guess percentage; it's probably alot lower than 20%) there is Asian bias. Asia's biggest (international) sport is baseball and Asian youths play the shizz outta Baseball. Nearly all (if not all) MLB teams have an Asian in the roster. To be fairly unfair, (again) most Asian baseball players are more contact hitters oriented where in America, we're more focused Power hitters. That's part of the reason why.

He's 6'1", quick as hell, long wingspan, got handles, got hops, and he's can pretty much beat every kid on varsity 1on1. The team is mostly black kids. The coach is black. That Asian kid is a benchwarmer. Coach refuses to play him. Whenever he does get minutes, he does great, but they always gets pulled out after 3-4 minutes of court time, even if he was hot

In his debut game, which they showed highlights of, he scored 21 points had 13 assists. Next month his team plays the New Taipei King, which his younger brother, Joseph, plays for.

Because not all the players can adapt to his agressive play style. Even the coaches don't know how much potential he can make on the court. Doesn't he just let things flow?

[@RedDynamt3]

That's his game. That is what makes him good. Plenty of players attack the rim a lot like derrick rose and Russel westbrook. The only difference is he isn't as explosive as them. In New York he earned many double double so he can pass to but all the coaches want him to do is attack the rim.

The USA never had the representation that it claims since they cannot even give basic human rights to Asians or other people of color.

Jonmangaming+ No he didn't lol...if the rocket and lakers got rid of him what makes you think he deserved that money? Lin is not a starter on any playoff team just know that

[@nabielchardin7963]

Its not about skin color tho , lin is really underrated even tho he could do much more :v

[@DougWarner25]

Learn ball you fucking moron

[@shanks6404]

Lin is trash

[@rommeldones6980]

That ONE SEASON of LINSANITY showed us how beautiful Life is... It proves that Wonderful things are just around the corner waiting for those Who never give up hope and for those who bravely face anything they encounter! It is not about if youre getting paid well or not, nor being famous for years...it was, for Lin, jumping on that train for a short ride but being the luckiest one who experienced how magical that brief tour was! 👍👍👍

[@robinabernathy2829]

That brief tour extended his career and probably led to millions in his pocket.

[@bonggalban9824]

i've watched this clip for several times already, but i must admit it still brings goose bumps in me..linsanity continues in me

[@GoggleMan25]

i remember tuning into this game in like the 3rd quarter and it was so much fun to watch live

[@MultiRabe]

Im a diehard Knicks fan from birth! For about 10 games, that kid took this city by storm-Im glad glad I saw this moment in Knicks history!

[@johnmorley8812]

The music playing in the stadium is so 2012. Feels surreal lol. On that note, I played basketball in middle school from 2012-14 and boy did we all love Jeremy Lin. He was every young basketball player’s idol back then.

[@matthewosterman9030]

When you said this they played a song that they play everyday at work. We really haven’t gone far in music

[@UhhCantFindAName]

bro he slowed the game down and dished the ball and scored when needed solid point skills underated

[@YouTube-Troll]

Yes, it's NBA discrimination at work

[@sbabar87]

jared jeffries raved about lin, tyson chander loved him, landry fields was made better by Lin, and Amare was rooting him on and getting good feeds from lin too. Melo ruined it all and Amare even stated that (without officially saying melo's name) what a shame. if we didnt make that trade for melo we woulda had all those assets plus mayb Lin couldve been pivotal off the bench and the garden would be buzzing and who knows what talent we coulda added with the money we woulda saved with only one max player. sigh...

[@sbabar87]

+dewy13newgen stop dude. Melo could have came as a free agent but gutted the entire Knick core because he wanted Bird rights and the extra 30 million. He's saying all the right things now but if he REALLLLY wanted to do best for the knicks he woulda A) waited till free agency the first time B) when he re-signed take less than Max. There have been articles upon articles where Melo has his tech company in NY and business aspirations in NY. Also, while i do dislike melo as a franchise player, he is a decent human being and wants to keep his family in NY where his kids go to school. But melo wants the spotlight and to continue his business ventures. I was hoping that all the losing would cause him to get out, but again the knicks can pay melo the most and his family is here. Kobe was even asked (when melo played streetball with Kevin Love and Kobe in LA) why melo didnt become a laker, and Kobe responded "there were 30 million reasons why". Not to mention that stupid documentary about how he almost became a bull. Lin has always had to work extra hard to gain respect, hes tearing it up with charlotte and will continue to be a fan of his. its just sad because D'antoni and coaches gave him a chance and it woulda been nice to see him to continue to develop as a knick. melo had to squash it (Amare's words and general buzz have indicated that which both have more merit then your opinion no offense). Yes, felton was a part of the trade. But remember that year he and amare had that pick and roll going? Felton was almost an All star! Even if lin came on board, if melo wasnt there...amare who was ruined by melo as we all know would have prospered and felton would have too. That'd be a good problem to have where if felton and amares pick and roll left Lin on the bench then lin coulda made the 2nd unit more prolific. And not too mention all the extra cap space and assets (mozgov got 2 first round picks, i could only imagine what an all rookie player like landry fields, a defensive stopper and 15 ppg scorer in wilson chandler could gotten). I dont want to take kudos, cuz lord knows ive been wrong about other things in sports..but i said that when the knicks traded for melo in 2011-2012, itd set the franchise back at least 5 years because u cant build around a one dimensional player who eats up 1/4 of the cap. James Harden, who i think is more talented in that he can distribute the ball better, kinda falls into the same category.

[@StyleAssortment]

shash shut up, ima report ur spam

[@sbabar87]

Spam for giving my opinion??? um, ok.

[@SDSOverfiend]

dewy13newgen Wrong.. Felton was in Portland.. Baron Davis was supposed to be our starter.. The next year Felton came back vowing to win over the fans again.. AND HE DID. He was asked about Lin sanity during summer league nd never threw shade. He just was saying He gonna turn up in ny

[@Set42]

And now Melo is a washed up player trying to find a team while Jeremy Lin is an NBA Champion... Let that sink in ( Edit ) Carmelo Anthony is not a washed up player and I am an Idiot. Please roast me in the comments

[@warwick802]

Heck, one of them won't be in the NBA for much longer for being arrogant. Carmelo could've easily been a good 6th man because we all know he is trash now. Jeremy accepts his role and is now an NBA champ. I guess you can call this Karma.

[@JoeBro915]

And Melo is balling for a potential playoff team and where is Lin?

[@JMan360]

Blazers won’t make the playoffs lmao

[@taimooreyousaf1932]

@@JoeBro915 Lin is balling it up in China. No matter how you put things, Mello ruined Lin's career in the NBA. Plus melo is still trash, he only had a hot first week on the blazers. Only reason he's guaranteed is bc the blazers are weak on pf

[@JoeBro915]

@@taimooreyousaf1932 opening an argument by saying "balling it up in China." Isn't that the same place that Jimmer was scoring at will. You all say Melo ruined Lin's career but the Knicks actually made a good decision for once to let the injury prone one and half week wonder go.

@@amarirasheed6 thing is even though he didn't have much to do with the chip, he admitted it. Melo would have tried to sell that he carried the Raptors. And look where the two are now. Lin is balling in Beijing and while Melo is in the NBA and Lin is not, Melo is exactly the same as he was in Houston. He had a fire first week, but that's it. Lin accepts the role, Melo doesn't.

Have you seen the young players we have now? Lin's too slow to play guard. Too small to be a forward. He's also not a very good shooter nor a good defender.

[@Mogen562]

He's just Thankful to God! What a beautiful sentiment after an amazing game. Imagine having played such great that you are remembered several years later still putting smiles on people face who are still cheering you on, on or off the court. Mad props too Jeremy, you're an awesome person!
