i flew to NYC from Shanghai just to witness the Linsanity. the guy who checked my passport asked me why I came to states, I screamed to him: Linsanity!!!! he yelled back at me: Yeeeeeeesssss!!! GOD I MISS IT!
@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.
Most viewed Knicks related things: 1) Linsanity 2) Pippen's dunk on Ewing 3) Jordan's dunk on Ewing 4) Miller 8 points in 9 seconds 5) Fans booing Porzingis in draft
+Demario Bratcher He had more points than all stars? For like a good 2-3 weeks he was killing it, then new york hyped him up way too much, i feel for the guy.
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...
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
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!!
It's so heart warming to see Steve Novak support Jeremy Lin's rise. Can really tell the sincerity of the gesture every time he cheers for him and the team.
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.
Sir, you are on point! I remembered when Lin was on the cover of a sports Illustrated and a lot of the black players said some derogatory stuff but all the newspapers swept them under the rug! Those six weeks were like the movie Hoosiers cause all the Knicks players played so hard for each other, cheered for each other and was so unselfish! Plus those are real basketball players, not super athletes like today…seems already like a different generation, although it’s only 12 years ago! You can tell who wanted to win! Amare and Chandler embraced Linsanity, Melo didn’t! Plus blame the coach for not being brave enough to keep the team game going. Melo should’ve came off the bench or traded.
2024 still rewatching. It was an electrifying time. I remember watching this unfold in real time. Anticipating every other knicks game. Consuming all the buzz, news clips, morning show segments on the games the night before any time it came on. Climaxing with that raptors game and that game winning 3. Pure magic. I was a kid again during that time. It was ridiculous.
Didn't the Knicks win like 7 straight with Lin running the show and Melo/Amare out? Meanwhile, the current Knicks won 17 all season long. Shows how terrible the Knicks ownership and front office really is.
+gorrow1990 The front office is terrible, but lin wouldn't have done much, he had a good 2 weeks. Its like when people thought dele was the second coming. He was like tim teebow, or however you spell that dudes name.
+The Chiraq Android 17 nah deli is just garbage, even now Jeremy Lin still plays like this with the hornets. The only problem is that nobody wants to start him.
People always ask me, "what's your favorite NBA era? 80s? 90s? 00s?" and my answer is "None of those... it is LINSANITY!!!!" But no in all seriousness, Linsanity was such a fun series of games to watch because this dude came out of nowhere and started balling like an Asian Kyrie. I won't forget that stretch
So fun to watch. I miss this knicks team. Lin as a rising star, Amare's game and explosive dunks, Chandler 's energy, defense and dunks off the pick and roll, Novak with the three. Ofcourse we still have Carmelo. I'm starting to miss Shumpert and Jr smith. I've always liked them. Jesus what happened!
holy cow! it's worst than I first thought! at 5:30 Williams is heading to the dressing room with an assistant coach, followed by Williams talking things over with Williams being followed by Williams!
Thekevster22 check the vid again at 5:30. there are 4 of them heading into the change room at half time. I don't follow them as a team so I couldn't tell you who you missed.
lol it would be great if it was just laughs. Lin talks about it in his interviews, he said he heard racial slurs pretty much every game he played in school. Same thing happened during my games (I'm Asian, played varsity in Brooklyn)
I have watched this game many times, but still don't know when I will stop to do so. It's such a lift for everybody who is at his/her hard time of life. Every time when I watch this game I feel my life is filled up with new meaning. Thanks to Jeremy!
They were stupid for letting him go. This is like the Babe Ruth curse the Red Sox had when they traded him to the Yankees. The Knicks need to resign Lin!!!!
8 years have passed and this still never gets old. This was and still is an amazing run for JLin (but unfortunately short-lived). I still do hope to see him back again in the NBA soon though.
The MSG was dark and quiet at the time. Then JLin showed up and he turned on the light it was nice and bright for a bit then everyone wanted to sleep again.
Such a trippy mental moment if you rewind mentally before the start of this game. No one knew the unforgettable moment that was right around the corner.
Started watching the Knicks as a kid right after the melo trade, but this run was when I really fell in love with the Knicks and basketball in general, there truly is nothing better than when the Knicks are playing winning basketball at Madison square garden
I'll never get tired of seeing his teammates so happy for him
Except melo

The whole 2012-2013 season for the Knicks was stellar, at least of what I remember.
Every once in a while I come back and watch this again. Linsanity was such a great moment in sports history. Cheers!!
2020: Still re-watching Linsanity & will never be forgotten in the basketball world
Absolutely
100%
2021 and I’m re-watching (again)
2021 rewatchin it as well
Same here & it's early 2022.
Most viewed Knicks related things:
1) Linsanity
2) Pippen's dunk on Ewing
3) Jordan's dunk on Ewing
4) Miller 8 points in 9 seconds
5) Fans booing Porzingis in draft
Ahahahahahaha! That is fucking funny.
You forgot something...
Mario Hezonja dunking on Giannis
Which was the highlight of their 2019 season
I saw them all in real time except for #5
6) Nets been better then Knicks for 2 decades
How about Starks dunking on the entire Bulls team?

it's Jan 1st 2020, and somehow i'm back here watching Linsanity again ! love it still !
cant believe still watching this in 2019.
wish the best to Jeremy.
Never forget to enjoy every moment on the journey.
This is the greatest moment in Knicks history.
That Alley oop from Lin to Chandler at about 5min was freaking perfection!
anyone watching in 2019?
got chills... esp 11:13
Hey there
YO~

Me!
If Jeremy Lin had a documentary like "The Last Dance", I would gladly watch it.
www.imdb.com/video/vi610380057
Right now it would be called “The Last Chance”
He has is documentary “Linsanity” on Amazon prime video. I recommend watching it is really good.
Lin is A Champion 🏆 and Carmelo a dud! 😁
Well, what do you know. He just got one.
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...

10 years later and I'm here still enjoying it every time I see it 🤗
Carmelo Anthony got jealous and ruined Jeremy Lin’s career. That’s the reason I hate Melo
Ryan Cho so it's fault he tore his Acl 🤔?
Nah
said the same thing
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
@21stcenturyenigma Wtf are you talking about? He's been a disappointment everywhere he's played.
It’s 2020 ya’ll and I’m still living in 2012 when Knicks was this good! Always worth coming back to.
This small line up with Amare at C was pretty good. Too bad Carmelo had to come back from injury and ruin everything. lol
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!!
Carmelo is overrated at the Knicks
There are so many variables that cause good things that don't need to be fixed, changed by either jealousy or money contracts!!

Good luck and fortune to him and cudos for the excitement he brought for the knicks night in and out!!
And Nené confirmed that before retiring
Besides all these, Spike Tey's hubby was a pretty boy at that time!
It's so heart warming to see Steve Novak support Jeremy Lin's rise. Can really tell the sincerity of the gesture every time he cheers for him and the team.
7 years later, Jeremy Lin wins a championship while Melo still has zero ring.
Yeah!
right😂
I keep on coming back to this video. It's the starting point of loving basketball again.
I come back to this playlist at least once a month, this run was chills
This is the knicks team I miss.

Not to mention, the surrounding cast.

Watch Linsanit in Year 2022，still love it.
It's a rare occasion in sports when you get to see something special.
he made the entire team better, unlike mellow who has to clear out the one side of the court to make a basket.
Lin is a PG.
@@king20a6 melo played like he was the pg
That was a pretty good NY team. Wish they had kept it together.
Credits to the commentators for making this game extra interesting!

2022 and still come and watch this from time to time. I was going crazy in my mom house as a Knicks fan haha
The Jeremy Lin run for that 2 weeks was magical
watching 1000x maybe...still want to watch again and againm.

doubt it, Melo can't stand him. The offense is still going to be Melo centric. JLin needs the ball, he needs to be the captain of the team.
Why is everyone saying Melo hates him?

Once a year I like to relive the entire epic saga with the Knicks. Thanks for this.
As a long time NY knicks fan, I watch all Linsanity series when I have a bad day or when Knicks just cant win shit nowadays...
Crazy how curry changed the game of basketball they all playing real different here

Can never get bored of Lin
Still rewatching 2021
Lin is like the kid everybody laughs at when he enters the game until he shows them he can really play this game.
lol it would be great if it was just laughs.
Lin talks about it in his interviews, he said he heard racial slurs pretty much every game he played in school. Same thing happened during my games (I'm Asian, played varsity in Brooklyn)
I have watched this game many times, but still don't know when I will stop to do so. It's such a lift for everybody who is at his/her hard time of life. Every time when I watch this game I feel my life is filled up with new meaning. Thanks to Jeremy!
It's been 10 years and the crazy thing is the Knicks still don't have a point guard.
They were stupid for letting him go. This is like the Babe Ruth curse the Red Sox had when they traded him to the Yankees. The Knicks need to resign Lin!!!!
8 years have passed and this still never gets old. This was and still is an amazing run for JLin (but unfortunately short-lived). I still do hope to see him back again in the NBA soon though.
What a time to be alive during linsanity I swear 😢
Watching everything again 2023. Almost brings tears to my eyes lol
2019. This never gets old.
I was pursuing my master degree in NYC at that time, Linsanity really inspire me.
Has the resolution of the video always been this low? Strange that I did not notice it when I watch it 10 years ago.
The MSG was dark and quiet at the time. Then JLin showed up and he turned on the light it was nice and bright for a bit then everyone wanted to sleep again.
2021 I WACTHING AGAIN I LOVE JERYMY LIN
Same
Love Linsanity but the question remains... where the hell was the Nets defense in the paint the entire game?!?!?!?!
They just couldn't stop Lin. The rest of the team couldn't penetrate in the paint. It was all Lin.
defense? They tripled him. Lin was just quick.
I still watch this video periodically to get me pumped up during stressful times haha. jeremy, what an inspiration
Lin is true PG that spread the offense and got everyone involved. Even Jared jerries looked like an allstar
Such a trippy mental moment if you rewind mentally before the start of this game. No one knew the unforgettable moment that was right around the corner.
When I need motivation I watch these 12 mins...
Still watching in 2020.
lol i watched this live, i was like WTF?

Same 😂
Same im asian

It’s 2021 and these were the best the New York Knicks looked in decades.
Just want to point out, how smooth Knick's offense were when ball didnt pass to Melo!!
Mike Bibby was on the team too. Crazy
I'm still watching this in 2020. And I watch this every time when I feel down.
NBA means two names to me: MJ and JL.
Lin was the greatest knicks inspiration in nba history.
"Clyde, even the look on his teammates don't believe what they're seeing..." That says it all.
damn... can't believe it's been 8 years... miss those crazy days...
we need him back
man what a night, the rise of a real pg that the knicks needed
Jeremy Lin wins a Championship Ring 2019
Yeah, but he didn't play at all during his time at Toronto. Probably, they will him go after the season is over! !!!
Linspiration! It never gets old.
Linsanity is the reason why I became a knicks fan, and started watching the NBA (I'm asian btw so ye)
i could watch this a thousand times and still excited. game aside look at the chemistry with alll his team-mates
Sure Lin was great but anyone see 5:30 when there was 4 dudes with Williams on their jerseys, I mean that has to be a record
Every time I watch back, I need to watch whole seven games of Linsanity!!! Still crazy
I loved this Knicks team a lot . They got hurt at the end. Should of matched the money for Lin. Now they still have no pG
oh my, I miss this moment!
Anyone watching in 2016 #nets

Just watched the HBO documentary on Linsanity. Goosebumps! This man is a living legend
he definitely had more love in new york the crowd loved him. They making him side line in houston pfft
Started watching the Knicks as a kid right after the melo trade, but this run was when I really fell in love with the Knicks and basketball in general, there truly is nothing better than when the Knicks are playing winning basketball at Madison square garden
