The rise of the New Orleans Hornets, the We Believe Warriors, The beginning of the Lob City Clippers, Linsanity. Baron was always there, somehow.

[@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570]

Wowwwwwwwww you damn right he was lmao.

[@solar_warden81]

Donald Sterling was going to practice just to call him a fat-ass when he was with the Clips 😂

[@JooliganYT]

No coincidences friend, he played a huge part in all of it. When he talked they listened. When someone puts they heart in it like he did, you pretty much have to listen

The Forrest Gump of the NBA

[@DM-bv9uh]

He is the glueeeee. I'm tellin ya no one knows why shit clicking and coming together, Baron just in the backdrop somewhere smiling

[@BigRelly1]

When he hit the game winner, turned around and started walking away with swag, that's when I became a fan of Linsanity. It's moments like Linsanity that makes me forever love sports, because in sports, anybody has a chance at glory.

[@quickHitter5080]

You got that right. 💯

[@thomaszach43]

Yes most people dont get the chance for one game ​@spac4marine

@spac4marine he achieved more success and money in those “6 games” than you ever will in your life though 😂

[@MrTUBEular10]

Baron made me chuckle the entire time. When he said, he's anointed, he got me believing, too, I almost choked on my coffee.

[@imahobolin]

Baron is so excited to talk about this too. the melo cast was holding him back a lot dam melo just dont wanna acknowledge Jeremy

[@TONYshoutout250]

I think he did... but Melo doesn't know how to play around a PG ! He has to have the ball for him to operate... def hurt Jeremy's game

[@dantegood2195]

@@TONYshoutout250- Not true. The heat exposed lin by forcing him to go left, which he couldn’t do, and they shut him down. From there, Lin sat out the rest of the season with a “knee injury”, so he wouldn’t get exposed further, so he could get a big contract with the rockets. With the rockets and beyond he was just a role player at best. That wasn’t Melo’s fault

[@cazdrexler555]

​@@dantegood2195You gotta understand D'Antonios system. Lin fit but wasn't running the offense correctly. When they started making him run the offense he got stopped

[@eric2892]

@@dantegood2195that’s a stretch. He had weaknesses but the NBA should have shut him down far earlier if Lin’s game didn’t have substance.

[@eric2892]

⁠@@dantegood2195. I don’t know your sources, but Lin didn’t get an offer from the Knicks even though he wanted to stay. He had to take the Rockets. Melo didn’t want Lin to mess with the Melo centric basketball the Knicks were playing before.

[@chantzd]

I played against that guy back in the day-3rd, 4th, 5th grade. He was at West San Jose, playing for NJB. I remember him and another player who made a strong one-two punch. This guy was tall, even back then-an Asian kid who was just big, strong, and solid. He had that natural talent, you know? We were rivals for a couple of years, and I think his team beat us two or three times. We might have gotten them once. He used to frustrate the hell out of me, but looking back now, I don’t feel so bad anymore. Lol

[@austinburwell5834]

Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow was in the same seaosn like the hype was crazy.

[@nba_fan7214]

Lin had a pretty long career meanwhile Tebow was out of the NFL in a year.

[@HTTR1984]

Man, Tebow was garbage. There's a reason, pretty obvious too in the US, as to why there was any hype around Tebow to begin with.

[@AwijoshSun]

@@HTTR1984 Tebow had a great college career, and was inexplicably winning in the NFL despite not being that great. The kneeling was a fun meme and all, but the Broncos went to the playoffs with Tebow, and the hype would not have lasted if they didn't win.

[@tommyfu9271]

tebow was trash. the broncos were winning games in spite of him not bc of him. he had one great game that was it.

[@AwijoshSun]

@@tommyfu9271 That's what I mean though, wins are wins, and he was hyped because they were winning, even if he sucked

Jeremy Lin really coulda been someone in the NBA if them injuries didn't start piling up. Finally had a team built around him in Brooklyn, put up 18, then BOOM, patella. game over. Tragic, man.

[@StoneAgeStark]

4:48 my boy forgot it happened to also be Asian Heritage Night in toronto so the crowd was full of asian fans, which is why the place went wild over his buzzer beater. He would've had soooome hype if it were a normal night, but more "awww"s and walking out instead of everyone erupting in cheers for a loss

[@iN31L]

i remember i got $30 tickets to this game. can't imagine that'd be possible now

[@aswerty911]

People forget after the Miami game, Lin still came back the next game and put up 20/10 on Kyrie and the Cavs.

[@burningknuckle26]

yea he was actually good in his prime. bron and company did their hardest to put a stop to it and thats understandable but Linsanity was doin work ngl

[@c7lee]

One of the craziest NBA stories. On the depth chart, knicks had BD, Bibby, Douglas and even Shumpert in front of Lin that yr. Truly a miracle 😂

[@itssjdrip]

Lin sanity was crazy, when he hit the game winner he was certified. You jus had to be there bro

[@DocYAYAYA]

Baron a hidden gem when it comes to these podcasts 😂 hes hilarious

[@hoodieboy1515]

"The Heatles".....hahaha

[@JasonWalkerJamaica]

Dude! I was a heat fan and I was rooting for Jeremy Lin! Considering Lin is a CHRISTian the Angels in the outfield description works!

[@ZoraDelaney]

1:57 So Baron Davis was trying to encourage Kobe Bryant, who was on a rival team, to shut down his teammate Jeremy Lin in order to end Linsanity? Hmmm......

[@cantstop-wontstop2138]

@ZoraDelaney This is the mindset that kept Black people Playing from behind.

[@eric2892]

Baron is kind of messed up actually if you listen to other interviews. Simu is there to keep him from saying something racist

No one remembers, soon as Melo came back he killed the fire of Lin sanity real quick.

[@clifmillercm]

They already dropped one but we need a new linsanity doc for sure.

Like the Yankee's Shane Spencer hype for a few games

[@tommyfu9271]

[@itsvictoroyedeji]

Alot of folks blame Melo for stopping Linsanity, but it was actually Miami Heat who did it. And I remember earlier that season Bron complained that the Heatles were getting too much media attention that year.

[@mellenix]

Nah, that beat down you knew it was coming for sure. It's normal when you're a rook or rising star. Look at what happened to Caitlyn Clark, she experienced the same - no foul calls, double teams, cheap shots, over the top physicality, etc. But eventually, they figure it out. Not saying Melo did anything intentional but him coming back messed up the team chemistry and the play style. More iso-ball and less PnR. I'll also say JLin wasn't any S-rank player. He was solid player at best (really good at PnR) and just took his shot when it counted with the right pieces around him. But it sure was one hell of a ride.

Why the hate in the first place?
