The fact that he was overlooked despite his high school and college achievements is so regrettable. If he was given the attention he deserved with his resume, Linsanity may not have been a flash in the pan. But I’m still happy that Linsanity happened, it sure was electric, and great for the representation of AAPI

I’ll never forget Linsanity. Everyone wanted to watch what Jeremy Lin could do during that run. Everything was insane. People now would downplay it but I know everyone was in a “let us enjoy this” mood when people were analyzing linsanity.

The only thing I think is missing is a more honest sentence or two about his time in CHA & w the Nets. When not injured, we was a serviceable combo guard who still operated well out of the PNR. And he waved kobe off successfully and put kobe in his place!

Raptors fan chiming in: I was living in the UAE when Linsanity took hold. My colleague, a Knicks fan who was able to stream games from there, told me about him after his second game. My friends were in the stands when he hit that game winner vs my team... and it was crazy to hear the Air Canada Centre crowd go nuts after a loss. Watching the game with my colleague at some ungodly hour, we both also cheered wildly. While not a pivotal part of the 2019 championship, he was a smart last minute addition. There were a few plays he ran with Gasol near the end of the season that justified the signing -- proving how his experiences with hardship could actually be useful in the challenges of a long playoff run. Short glimpses of brilliance, and a crowd that backed him even when he was playing for the other team. Best part -- he has a freakin' Economics degree from Harvard that he can fall back on.

I remembered living and working in Beijing, China when this occurred. Lin was the talk of the town with ballers, including the expats I balled with who played professionally for the two Beijing teams. It dawned on me that Linsanity truly won people over when I saw on TV "Wall Street Bros", regular people, intl people, and most importantly the fans of other teams rooting for the guy. He was, is, and will be the "Rudy" of NY and Asian people.

people don't understand how crazy linsanity was. growing up, every kid, even the ones who didn't play basketball, knew two players: kobe and Lin. especially for asian kids Jeremy lin was an inspiration
@georgeagpoon26822 жыл бұрын
Lin was nearly 6th man award winner at Charlotte, which led to him being the number one option at Brooklyn. Career cut short by injury, and to be honest, racial bias. On a potential comeback tour with Warriors G-League team, Lin was the only top 11 scorer not to receive an NBA contract, likely due to the reported racism he received on court from an unnamed G-League player. Front offices of NBA teams perceived Lin's statement as potentially disruptive to team culture, and was therefore left behind.
