Linsanity was such a fun sports moment. Each game I thought it would end he got even hotter. When he had 38 on Kobe, I never expected his run would end, and so soon.
The lesson everyone should learn about Lin's story is to always stay ready. I heard him on a podcast tell the story and he said before the Knicks training camp he worked out harder than he ever had during the lockout. Then he said that he knew he was getting waived the following week because his agent said it was probably going to happen. But he said to himself that if he had the chance, he would show the Knicks what he could do. Most people would've gotten disgruntled and discouraged. He stayed ready and his chance came. Gotta love that.
Linsanity was a sensation. I remember in Feb/March of 2012 everybody at school was talking about him. They'd call me Jeremy Lin on the basketball court because I was Asian lol. And I even saw a few Linsanity shirts at the park, too.
J lin was an example of a growth spurt and then a growth stunt. Played with a lot of egos and isolation heavy players which took the ball out his hands a lot.
He was NEVER that good to begin with. Casual fans look at his numbers with MDA's Knicks and think he was that good, but his numbers were inflated due to the system same with everyone else MDA coached: Raymond Felton, Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, Gerald Green, Clint Capela etc.
He had a good month. If he played in the playoffs Knicks would’ve probably matched the Rockets offer. But he got too scared to play proving he wasn’t worth the money.
I have to say Stunt #3 have to be missed opportunity with The Brooklyn Nets. Lin had a good run with the Charlotte Hornets when he played with Kemba Walker to help get the Hornets back into the playoffs. Lin was a candidate for the Sixth man of the year that year too Linsanity was buzzing again which lead to the Nets signing him in that off-season. Fans were expecting Lin & Lopez combo to make some noise. Lin's 1st game with the Nets was successful and it looked like he was ready for a leadership role on the team but injuries happened and it stunted him for good.
even though the Linsanity run was a one hit wonder and was Two Weeks Long due to Miami putting it to a end regardless it was fun to watch and im glad he decided to be with Toronto and get a ring years later.
“I came here because if I was gonna blow up anywhere, it would be New York” - Lavor Postell. The ultimate stunt you missed was D Wade & Bron. On an NBA Sunday Showcase vs Miami, they picked him up full court, took away his right hand by making him go left every time & ended Linsanity on national TV. Reminiscent of Mike-Pip-Kukoc in the ‘92 Olympics.
@eddstorm THIS. everybody tries to blame carmelo but the fact is after two weeks he got exposed by Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole. Once D'Antoni got fired and Mike Woodson took over he was a shell of himself for the few games he played. He got injured and REFUSED to come back for the playoffs because he didn't wanna jeopardize his free agency and I lost all respect for him.
Linsanity just came out of nowhere like when a hurricane changes course suddenly hitting you like a recking ball and eventually the storm calms down and just goes away.
He was amazing for us in Charlotte. I think people over look this. Played perfectly along side Kemba. He was so good in fact the Nets gave him a nice contract.
He jus ran into teams that didnt welcome him where the coaches didn’t fuck with him. He had a semi successful yr in CHA becoming 6th man of the yr candidate and BK was a missed oppertunity to bank. He was hooping under a coach who believed in him then he tore his patella tendon opening night that was heartbreaking he was never the same after that.
I think it was hilarious that this guy grew a full set of dreadlocks and his first game debuting with the Nets he went down. At some point he got away from what worked for him but I did see his game winner in person in Toronto. Was good while it lasted.
@@parrishharris3008 that's bs. They could have gave him more money or the same amount of money but structured it so that it wouldn't hurt their salary cap. They let him leave because Melo wanted him gone. Period.
@@mistermann3225 I get what you’re saying but you let Lin go if Melo reportedly didn’t want him. I was one of the only Lin detractors at the time. I knew it wasn’t sustainable. He had zero intangibles that would solidify him as a consistent top two scoring option. Everyone else thought otherwise. NY was starving for a star. Blue collar folks were enamored by the prospect of a sub 6’5 player sans a blue chip resume a la Stephen Curry, killing it in the leave. And the Asian community, that’s self-explanatory… they deserved every second of that euphoria. But ultimately, reality settled in and … Melo was right 😂
Lin had a wonderful run in n.y. but everyone who knows basketball knew Carmelo was envious of Lins success but Karma is ah mother so that's why Lin has a championship ring and Anthony still doesn't have 1 so i'm proud of him as a basketball player 👍.
I love Lin!!! What he did for the true culture of basketball!!! And everyone can achieve there dreams!!!! First he did it in the Garden!!! The freaking Garden!!! Second he brought high energy to a team that needed it!!! Third it was fun I had his jersey!!! Awesome channel
I hope that there’s another player with similar backstory or situation and skill set to Jeremy Lin that can become Star with a full career without injuries!
Injuries Suck Boy Got Hurt Back 2 Back Seasons, But That Linsanity Era Was Crazy And Electric Even Though It Was Short Brought Soo Many New Fans And Had The City Rocking And Talking About How This Asian Dude Outplayed Kobe, Salute J Lin.
still don’t get people blaming Melo, what did y’all want him to do? Come back and play second fiddle to Lin? He didn’t have that problem with A.I. one of the most ball dominant guys in the league. Its real easy to point fingers, I guess
@@ache9649 Lin being the 1st option wasn't best for the team lol it was best for Lin and his Stans. Curry stepped back for Kevin Durant not Jeremy Lin. Lin was not that good. Dude was having multiple games shooting below 30% and y'all want to blame Melo.
@@ache9649 I aint reading all that my guy. But I do watch basketball and I doubt the coach wanted Lin to be at the forefront of the offense after a handful of good games when he had Melo, one of the best scorers of all time.

Get some new debates my dude, “you dont watch basketball” is so outdated lmao.
@@skproductions8495 Lin never chucked boy. Imo he was always a solid pg I think at best he coulda been a solid starting pg for the Knicks for a long time especially if his health was right. It coulda worked in Hous if Harden never came. We see now how Harden is a nutcase and how everyone had a hard time playing with him. Part of the struggle was that everything was new and mofos had such high expectations not to mention Dantoni quitting on the team after Lin saved his career. If u add Lin on the 12-13 team Im sure they make the CF he woulda been sick with J Kidd mentoring him. Knicks played him. They shoulda jus givin him a contract instead of telling him to go around the league and sayin theyll match it. Cuz he wanted to stay in NY at all costs. Even if he wouldnt of been Linsanity he was always a team first pg who jus wanted to win. We saw that in Cha and in BK too bad he got hurt a lot.
@@controversialmann5345 4-17, 5-18, 8-24 those are chucking %s my guy. He was chasing stats some nights. I do agree with the 2nd half of what you said about about DAntoni and all that, he showed glimpses throughout the rest of his career of how great he could've been in the right system
He was good in charlotte too, primarily as an off ball player. He just didn't work as a catch and shoot guy for harden. The injuries he had in brooklyn ended his career, but other than that brief run in new york and in charlotte, every coach he had used him terribly.
D'Antoni's system was a star-maker for point guards. When he put the ball in their hands, it took them to another level. Ordinary bench role players could look like solid starters. Solid starters could blossom into stars, like Lin did. And All-Stars like Nash and Harden could look like MVPs. Lin had the on-ball skillset to play like a borderline All-Star even in other systems, however, he needed the ball in his hands. He was a good rhythm shooter who could get hot and stay that way from all over the court. He was also a very skilled passer, knowing the right times to pass or shoot. On defense he had just enough length, quickness, and anticipation to be adequate one-on-one, while tearing up the passing lanes. While the injury may have slowed him slightly, which is often all it takes to go from star to out of the league, his biggest stunt was playing next to ball dominant players the rest of his career. Carmelo, Harden, and Kobe just weren't going to share the ball, and he didn't have the off-ball skillset needed to flourish next to those guys.
Also, he had elite body control (not to be confused with athleticism) under the basket. They way he could contort there and keep himself off the ground juuuuust long enough to get off a good shot should have been enough to get him drafted.
He beat Mater Dei in hs state final, got drafted from Harvard, went at John wall in summer league, went from teammates couch to starting nba role, hung 38 on Kobe, won nba championship. No way he stunted his growth he over achieved
He could have been so much more thou and thats the point of the video...had the Knicks just ran with him he wouldn't have ever become a star but he would have been a nkce building block for them
No, he definitely lived out his dreams. Imagine what the nba longevity for a ten day contract is. He is a multi millionaire from one opportunity. That is taking advantage of your opportunity and being lucky.
I got a few players for future Stunted Growth segments. Kelly Tripucka and Kiki Vandeweghe. Players at a time that put up numbers but trades and injuries somehow hurt their careers.
Me, my dad and sister were @ MSG for the Lakers game. That place was crazy. I think Time Warner did not carry MSG. People were leaving home to go to bars to watch this guy. Like a week in so many customers complained that they had to start carrying MSG.
I always wondered if he would’ve played longer on a small market team. NY, HOuston and GSW are huge markets. I always saw The Sacramento kings or OKC building a team around him.
Man that damn Melo was jealous ass hell of that kid. He only wanted the light to shine on him lol. JC you didnt want to mention Lin got a ring huh? Just a journeyman huh?
Stunt #4 he finally made it on scouting reports and teams learned he didn’t have a left hand or a consistent jumper. Linsanity was effectively over at that point
If anything it shows that coaches need to split the pie and give minutes to the young guys. It’s important for the coach to utilize everyone especially the rookies even though they are a low draft pick. Like maybe when they play a bad team they could just utilize the young talent as a 2n unit to an extent.
Every now and then you see stories like Jeremy Lin emerge in the NBA. Flip Murray did almost the same thing back in the 03-04 season, coming out of nowhere to put up numbers until the league figured him out. And recently it was the Nets' Cam Thomas running up three straight games of 40-plus points after Kyrie was shipped out. Lin's problem was that he was a point guard who simply could not handle on-ball pressure, resulting in big turnover numbers, even during the Linsanity run.
I blame melo for all the Knicks problems even today, I was a big melo fan growing up since I am a nyc nigga but as I grew older I realized he was the problem
I’ll never quite forgive melo for what he did to Lin bruh. His ball hogging & unwillingness to play how D’antoni wanted him to when he came back hurt them down that stretch
While a member of the Kings before a game in Miami, Hassan Whiteside was signing autographs for fans. Hassan said you’re lucky to get my autograph now, because after Hassanity starts, it’s going to be worth a fortune 😂
Do a stunted growth on Magic Johnson 🎩 I'm mad that he didn't stay for 1 more year... 1996-97 I wanted 2 see him vs. Allen Iverson 😢 and he would've been on the Lakers with Kobe & Shaq or would he? Depending on the salary caps?
Naw nigga. Every other time wen the lakers do anything its Kobe's team. And that's how Kobe acted too. Any other time he'd tell that whoever to switch. Cuz he gone lock whoever up. Why didn't he do it that game. I fw kobe tough. But he gota take that L. Thats like saying Jalen rose didn't guard Kobe for that whole 81. Bur that's wat everybody says
Ball (tape) don’t lie - Lin just wasn’t that good outside of those two magical weeks. Not a halfcourt player by any means, but was fast and shifty and could put you on a lawn slide if you let him go downhill. Until they game planned for him, teams just let him play his game, including wide-open jumpers and threes, and he made them pay. The knee hurt him once he started getting scouted but it was just a matter of time before he got shut down. Salute to his efforts, tho; a great guy who got Paid and more love from a tough city than he could have ever dreamed of. SALUTE!!
I really think people just figured out how to guard him . He was such an unknown player, teams didn’t really know how to gameplan him. But once they got more physical on him it showed
Some coaches and players caught Lindigestion. It almost seemed like an undercover blackballing. I don't think even Isiah Thomas fell this hard, this fast. Poor Jeremy.
Damn only if Carmelo would have made it work the Knicks would have done something there but Carmelo been Carmelo not wanting to share the spotlight I'm so glad that Carmelo didn't get a ring and end it up his career badly that's called karma
Linsanity was such a fun sports moment. Each game I thought it would end he got even hotter. When he had 38 on Kobe, I never expected his run would end, and so soon.

Naw nigga. Every other time wen the lakers do anything its Kobe's team. And that's how Kobe acted too. Any other time he'd tell that whoever to switch. Cuz he gone lock whoever up. Why didn't he do it that game. I fw kobe tough. But he gota take that L. Thats like saying Jalen rose didn't guard Kobe for that whole 81. Bur that's wat everybody says
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life
Ball (tape) don’t lie - Lin just wasn’t that good outside of those two magical weeks. Not a halfcourt player by any means, but was fast and shifty and could put you on a lawn slide if you let him go downhill. Until they game planned for him, teams just let him play his game, including wide-open jumpers and threes, and he made them pay. The knee hurt him once he started getting scouted but it was just a matter of time before he got shut down. Salute to his efforts, tho; a great guy who got Paid and more love from a tough city than he could have ever dreamed of. SALUTE!!
I really think people just figured out how to guard him . He was such an unknown player, teams didn’t really know how to gameplan him. But once they got more physical on him it showed
Do a stunted growth on Corliss Williamson and Gerard Wallace
Some coaches and players caught Lindigestion. It almost seemed like an undercover blackballing. I don't think even Isiah Thomas fell this hard, this fast. Poor Jeremy.
So did Melo hate on him and get him pushed out of New York or did he get injured ? 😂😂 it can’t be both.
The injury didn't help but let's excuse Melo on not embracing him better.
Im glad he got to win a championship later on
Linsanity is kind of like a rap artist that we call a 1 hit wonder.
Except he played several seasons, so he had some longevity.
@The Golden Warriors that’s above average tho.
@@MuswellMunky 1 hit wonders have released multiple album but do anybody care
GOATED, Forever.
Damn only if Carmelo would have made it work the Knicks would have done something there but Carmelo been Carmelo not wanting to share the spotlight I'm so glad that Carmelo didn't get a ring and end it up his career badly that's called karma
Damn Melo was hating lowkey
Linsanity was the best 2 weeks the nba ever had sonce
But Lin does have a ring....unlike Harden and Melo
Carmelo got jealous of Lin and sabotaged JL career
Great job JC but it can be taken away he was the vanilla ice of the NBA.
Just come out and say it, Carmelo killed his career
This is why the Knicks don't win. There was no good reason to let him go and he'd have kept producing in NY.
Leave it to the Knicks to get rid of the reason fans were happily cheering
What did he produce after his 2 week run
Asian American Legend. Respect
...and Lin took that personally. #kobelearned
Can you do baron Davis
You may not see this comment, JC. Just wanted to let you know how much your content is appreciated.
Best video out now on me
I think with 90% of these guys it’s all about fit and how the coach plays them.
A Nick fan and I still don't even get insanity
