Where are y'all coming from? 😂 This video was stuck at 1.7 million for about a year but I've been getting like 30 comments on here a day and about 100K views a day as well. Did someone react to this video or something?

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.
@@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.
@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.
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).
@@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.
I just had to back up your comment. Linsanity was truly beyond a magical moment in the NBA. I haven't watched a single NBA game for the past 2-3 years because most of what is shown/talked about is everything BUT magical. They traded the "mag.." in magical for a "polit.."
@@ShowDonkeys Everyone puts in hard work despite not getting much or any minutes, tbh it's well deserved as he was granted an unfortunate exit from the NBA. Step into an NBA players shoes and look at it in their perspective rather than pointing out the unnecessary.
The craziest part of this video is that he came in late in the first quarter, and by halftime it was obvious that he could absolutely play. Watching him gain more and more confidence with each passing game...38 on Kobe, hitting the buzzer beater in Toronto...people forget he was only 23 here. Linsanity is the NBA memory that will never fail to put a big smile across my face.
Lol man I remember I was working in flushing NY when this Linsanity thing was going on, soo many Asian kids were hitting the basketball courts it was crazy. I remember before Linsanity the courts were full with Asian elders doing the aerobic workouts 😂
@@razkable🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🥹🥹🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 No they wouldn’t have lol he never had a better 6 game stretch then he did those 6 games the rest of his entire career! Y’all’s ability to produce hyperbolic exaggerated fake scenarios is unmatched.
I know it’s tough especially right now but you gotta think it is amazing how far Randle and Rose took this Knicks team. Even if we don’t get a second round exit, we got a lot of things to be proud of this season and excited for the next season. But I feel you man, I feel you. I wish the Knicks got rid of Melo instead of Lin.
Yes it was. And I feel like it opened the door for basketball to the Asian market a lot wider than before. Jordan opened that door and Lin pushed it open wider. For a while at least.
rocketman4659 his career isn't killed he will go on to do big things and at least he got to learn from the best while he was young and has time to develope into something great like them
Javier Woolrich what the fuck are you talking about. Lin is good in Brooklyn, second best player. There are far more worse players (Kyle Singler, Semaj Christon, John Henson, Rashad Vaughn) that dont deserve to be in the league.
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.
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.
@@fakename503 Not just on TV or in the NBA, you see that shit in school all the time. At my high school, this Asian kid was a beast. When we go play pickup games at the park after school, nobody can hold this dude. 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
For those of you who might be interested, I just tried to find what Jeremy's doing now and found this. A video that's three months old said he's playing in Taiwan for the Kaohsiung 17LIVE Steelers. 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. I had no idea he had a brother who plays pro ball. He looked good. He's 34 now. I wish him nothing but the best.
but the commentators wouldve just been like ... "and he hits again." "nice job." "he has 35." "and the ny knicks take it away." no excitement whatsoever
This guy was so popular during this time that even the people at my workplace were talking about him even tough nobody among them is a basketball fan and on top of that I'm from Croatia where NBA basketball is not that important.
armin38822 "I'm from Croatia where NBA basketball is not that important" Yeah right. That's why your Croatian friends have been trying to get in the NBA. Prideful idiot..
Linsanity era was so dope, I remember at the peak of his hype I was working a miserable job that I hated. Checking the updates on all of Jeremy Lin's games helped me get through some shitty days. Now I'm glad to see him doing very well for the hornets. He has been a big part of their playoff wins against the heat so far. Seems like he finally landed in a good situation
I have a memory from high school where students changed all the wallpapers on the classroom computers to jeremy lin, it was pretty funny lol linsanity was a cool time
I was so hype when this game happened because I knew about him from Nigahiga and Kevjumba's UA-cam channels. Then when he continued the "linsanity" I was so happy for him :)
Leo Vunidilo he was in this vid when he was on the warriors, before he blew up: ua-cam.com/video/GTmhwHRQ1ow/v-deo.html you sound stupid as shit now lol
The story of Jeremy Lin is one of the best in NBA history. Undrafted, out of Ivy League. Under recruited, but he has large heart! Second best player of the Asian race, next to Yao of course. I've been following him since he won a DII title in HS!
best is Jimmy Butler. Homeless to all star. No college scholarship. Nothing. He was drafted 30th in the draft. And he was thought to be another nobody.
Just so you know, after this, he was treated like crap afterwards, and that is why when the USA was like "Oh, we care about Hong Kong and Taiwan", I laughed because they really don't and never did. In fact, Asian Americans were all alienated and considered outsiders or even animals. The USA never had the representation that it claims since they cannot even give basic human rights to Asians or other people of color. The USA always been a joke, and it will forever become a joke around the world. The fact that some people of color think they are American makes the whole thing even more funny because they are so whitewashed.
As a Mavericks fan, i would love to have him on our team, even if we didn't necessarily "need" him. I love his passion and experience and he deserves to play alongside someone great again like Luka.
It almost brings tears to my eyes watching this I remember being a kid waiting for the knicks game to come on and watching with my dad very exciting to watch this team
But why did I cry watching this???? Such an epic throwback for every New Yorker, Asian, basketball fan 🏀 & little guy who no one believes in. Still have my Linsanity #17 shirt. Proud New Yorker. We'll never forget that time he was there.
Seeing Tyson Chandler full of energy in 2012 reminds me that he left Dallas after winning a title in 2011. Really wish Dallas had kept him, he was a great inside presence to pair with Dirk. Prime Chandler didn't last that long, 2012 was the year to make use of him
I have loved him since the Hornets day and when he joined my Lakers for that one season I was ecstatic. he seems like a great guy and genuinely happy for Lin.
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?
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.
It was really heartbreaking to see Jeremy Lin cried in a sharing in Taiwan several months ago when he mentioned that he was not signed by any NBA team. He is really a good basketball player!
Linsanity is what got me into basketball.. every night the Knicks were playing I’d make sure i finished my homework early and do what i had to do so that i had time to watch the games.. it was must watch tv and just a great squad they had back then.. like they do right now
The best “flash in the pan” moment in pro sports history IMO. He seized his opportunity and made the most of it. It’s too bad he couldn’t stay healthy while he was still in his prime.
Not bad NBA career at all...most would die for it. 10/11 seasons and a NBA title...playing big minutes...average double digit in scoring for a career...not a flash in the pan or one hit wonder.
I just can’t help coming back and repeating this video every now and then. For me it’s the most inspiring moment I’ve ever seen in the past ten years. Jeremy all the best
Still one of my favorite runs as a Knicks fan. I've followed the team through the 90's until now and this was such a good time to be a Knicks fan. I wish we could've found a way to keep this going.
That month of basketball felt unreal, dude is like the dream of every Asian kid playing MyPlayer on 2K brought to life. Linsanity will forever be one of my favorite NBA memories.
On this exact day my third daughter was born, and my brother came over to help me care for my two toddlers. My brother and I (both lifelong Knicks fans) put the kids to bed and then watched this game on SNY, the Nets channel. First game we watched all year because MSG had been blacked out all year due to a cable dispute. We had been tracking Lin closely as fellow Asian Americans (plus he starred for my alma mater). I'm so glad we were able to see this game live, together!
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! 👍👍👍
Jeremy Lin’s name will live forever in the No 1 basketball league in the world through the once in a lifetime phenomenon Linsanity. Thank you Jeremy for the beautiful memories.
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.
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
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 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
@@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.
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
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.
@@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. We all saw that then and now
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...
+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.
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
Watching these highlights makes me happy. Im a Warrior fan but I liked seeing him succeed as a Bay Area kid and former Warrior. Seems like a nice guy. Best of luck in the future Jeremy!
I'm Mexican and this made me almost cry, a story of perseverance and not letting your current condition define you. I will always root for the underdog.
New york was lit during this period. This was the days where you run to pick up the daily newspapers on your way to school and immediately turn to the back page for sport. It was a magical time.
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!

The story of Jeremy Lin is one of the best in NBA history. Undrafted, out of Ivy League. Under recruited, but he has large heart! Second best player of the Asian race, next to Yao of course. I've been following him since he won a DII title in HS!
ASIANS FOR THE WIN!!!
Mike Weston Na jarret jack is better
Jordan Clarkson will be 3rd 🇵🇭
best is Jimmy Butler. Homeless to all star. No college scholarship. Nothing. He was drafted 30th in the draft. And he was thought to be another nobody.
Junaid Ali no isaiah thomas.Drafted 60th and is now averaging 30ppg
An unforgettable NBA window. He will live forever in the minds of fans.
wow refs actually called fouls for jeremy back in those days.
+manfred edilson and he actually got picks run for him!!
+Robert Rawins i agreed
+manfred edilson LOL. Guy doesn't get any flagrants man
十年了,回顧依然雞皮疙瘩,感謝那些日子給予的正面能量與感動
Just so you know, after this, he was treated like crap afterwards, and that is why when the USA was like "Oh, we care about Hong Kong and Taiwan", I laughed because they really don't and never did. In fact, Asian Americans were all alienated and considered outsiders or even animals. The USA never had the representation that it claims since they cannot even give basic human rights to Asians or other people of color. The USA always been a joke, and it will forever become a joke around the world. The fact that some people of color think they are American makes the whole thing even more funny because they are so whitewashed.
As a Mavericks fan, i would love to have him on our team, even if we didn't necessarily "need" him. I love his passion and experience and he deserves to play alongside someone great again like Luka.
it would be nice to see that duo!
Dallas already had Lin in his rookie year on the summer league team but Dallas didn't sign him
@@kayonrossum4552 he did good too in that year
Yes, it would be fun to watch!
Bruh
It almost brings tears to my eyes watching this I remember being a kid waiting for the knicks game to come on and watching with my dad very exciting to watch this team
That's what sports are all about. Cherish those times with your dad. Mine is getting up there in age so I really enjoy watching games with him now
But why did I cry watching this???? Such an epic throwback for every New Yorker, Asian, basketball fan 🏀 & little guy who no one believes in. Still have my Linsanity #17 shirt. Proud New Yorker. We'll never forget that time he was there.
I'm not a Knicks fan but this game was a great moment in sports history. I can't stop watching it since 2012.
Seeing Tyson Chandler full of energy in 2012 reminds me that he left Dallas after winning a title in 2011. Really wish Dallas had kept him, he was a great inside presence to pair with Dirk. Prime Chandler didn't last that long, 2012 was the year to make use of him
I have loved him since the Hornets day and when he joined my Lakers for that one season I was ecstatic. he seems like a great guy and genuinely happy for Lin.
The greatest time to be a Knicks fan since the 90s. Sad but true.
it really was. the knicks should have traded melo and kept Lin
This is still one of the most exciting NBA games ever. I love how much of an underdog this guy was
No one gave him a chance except the knicks. He is doing work in Charlotte now but they don't let him do his thing as much as they should.
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?
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.
That's because the Point Guard he comes of the bench for, Kemba Walker, is really good.
hopefully he can do his thing in Brooklyn should be the starting PG
He actually got this chance by accident. This game was almost his last game in the Knicks. But luckily, he got it!
1:19 to 1:25 BARS

It was really heartbreaking to see Jeremy Lin cried in a sharing in Taiwan several months ago when he mentioned that he was not signed by any NBA team. He is really a good basketball player!
I'm glad he got a ring with the raptors
Linsanity is what got me into basketball.. every night the Knicks were playing I’d make sure i finished my homework early and do what i had to do so that i had time to watch the games.. it was must watch tv and just a great squad they had back then.. like they do right now
Linsanity was a real thing and also well deserved.. I’m not a Knicks fan but I enjoyed his moments
I like how Chandler can't stop smiling. And the "Jeremy" chant by the New York crowd gives me nostalgia. Good old days.
I liked that not everyone was a hater like Melo and he had teammates genuinely happy for him.
remember watching this live, gives me goosebumps everytime.
Never understood why the Knicks got rid of Lin. He made them relevant again and boosted their ticket sales. Bad management.
The only thing shittier than the Knicks is the city they play in. Lol you have Dolan and deblasio lol.
Agreed. I never liked the Knicks (grew up in NYC) and I even started liking the LIN Knicks because they were playing TEAM BALL.
They did it because Melo was uncomfortable with how he was taking over
@@isaacshingange3733 Yeah, I remember him telling the media "it's still my team." What a jackass.
what happens when an nba scouts somebody ?? this is the result of scouts not doing their job..
love the way Fields hugged Lin and congratulating him on his night, one of the best guys I've seen.
This underdog story will live on forever. I still get chills every time I watch Linsanity. It. Was. Insane.
- Detroit Pistons fan
This is where Deron William's soul was stolen by Jlin
spacebjorn - yeah, sometimes there's a loser.
spacebjorn Too bad the next time they faced each other....Deron Williams ended Linsanity and took his life.

np great edits was smiling the whole video!!!
Your phone is weird, it has 948,651 views. 😕
***** None.
Gotta love his teammates just letting him live in the moment and do his thing.
Except Carmelo Anthony
The best “flash in the pan” moment in pro sports history IMO. He seized his opportunity and made the most of it. It’s too bad he couldn’t stay healthy while he was still in his prime.
Not bad NBA career at all...most would die for it. 10/11 seasons and a NBA title...playing big minutes...average double digit in scoring for a career...not a flash in the pan or one hit wonder.
you might want to rethink that. 11 yr NBA career and he had to earn it
nothing but respect for him
I just can’t help coming back and repeating this video every now and then. For me it’s the most inspiring moment I’ve ever seen in the past ten years. Jeremy all the best
Still one of my favorite runs as a Knicks fan. I've followed the team through the 90's until now and this was such a good time to be a Knicks fan. I wish we could've found a way to keep this going.
Thank all you guys for 1 MILLION!
Did you get money?

That month of basketball felt unreal, dude is like the dream of every Asian kid playing MyPlayer on 2K brought to life. Linsanity will forever be one of my favorite NBA memories.
I love how the commentators get more excited as the game plays on
Only the best NBA play by play guy ever calling the game 👌
They didn't have much to celebrate till then.!
Who here is waiting to see Linsanity once again with the Raptors?
Won a championship and led the Raptors to win finals. finals MVP 2019
And he did it all in 51 seconds- what a legend

On this exact day my third daughter was born, and my brother came over to help me care for my two toddlers. My brother and I (both lifelong Knicks fans) put the kids to bed and then watched this game on SNY, the Nets channel. First game we watched all year because MSG had been blacked out all year due to a cable dispute. We had been tracking Lin closely as fellow Asian Americans (plus he starred for my alma mater). I'm so glad we were able to see this game live, together!
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! 👍👍👍
That brief tour extended his career and probably led to millions in his pocket.
Jeremy Lin’s name will live forever in the No 1 basketball league in the world through the once in a lifetime phenomenon Linsanity. Thank you Jeremy for the beautiful memories.
@montoin averie very!
4:58 is such a magical moment. Close game in 4th, whole crowd cheering his name, and he gets an and1
From a reserve player off the bench, to an immortal worldwide sensation. Jeremy Lin’s story is truly inspiring.
i'm watching this and i still get excited for him
i love watching this
"Linsanity" was the NBA for a brief time and it will be remembered fondly
i've watched this clip for several times already, but i must admit it still brings goose bumps in me..linsanity continues in me
I remember watching this live. What a time to be an NBA fan.
i remember tuning into this game in like the 3rd quarter and it was so much fun to watch live
I was at this game. Linsanity was unlike any other in NYC sports history.
Nice.. i use to stay late nights to watch Linsanity live. Even non-basketball guys were watching the games because of him. Thanks JLin the experience>
bro he slowed the game down and dished the ball and scored when needed solid point skills underated
Yes, it's NBA discrimination at work
Man...Linsanity always makes me smile. Love coming back to these videos and reliving the journey.
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.
When you said this they played a song that they play everyday at work. We really haven’t gone far in music
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!
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
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.
And Melo is balling for a potential playoff team and where is Lin?
Blazers won’t make the playoffs lmao
@@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
@@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.
The Knicks decide no to sign him after this.thats why Knicks never gonna win,stupid organization
Are you stupid? The knicks couldn't afford him dumbass once the rockets decided to over pay him
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
Its not about skin color tho , lin is really underrated even tho he could do much more :v
Learn ball you fucking moron
Lin is trash
Such a great moment everyone loves the underdog coming up big it's truly inspiring.
I’m watching this and getting goosebumps. What a game off the bench
2021, & Im still disappointed in the NBA for not giving Lin a shot.
Nah that's not it he kept getting injured that's why he wasn't a super star.
He does not deserve one. It's over
He can't be healthy for more than 28 games a season it's not personal
If AD keeps getting hurt the acne thing is gonna happen to him
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.
Who is here after Jeremy Lin won his first championship
He better be thanking Kawhi for carrying his bench riding self and now out of the league self to a championship.
@@amarirasheed6 plus siakam
@@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. We all saw that then and now
Ok
Throughout all the tough times being a diehard Knicks fan, this was a fun time to be a fan.
5:41 "moaning sound"
2:48 as well
+TheKaiupono hahahahahahah
+The G.O.A.T yea 5:41 was its replay
yep me i posted it to i thought i was the only one who heard
I heard d it
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...
+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.
shash shut up, ima report ur spam
Spam for giving my opinion??? um, ok.
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
Watching these highlights makes me happy. Im a Warrior fan but I liked seeing him succeed as a Bay Area kid and former Warrior. Seems like a nice guy. Best of luck in the future Jeremy!
I respect amare stoudemire even more after seeing him cheering for his teammate like that.
I'm Mexican and this made me almost cry, a story of perseverance and not letting your current condition define you. I will always root for the underdog.
I'm actually crying tears of joy from watching this

Lin’s alley ooo pass is so beautiful to watch. So smooth and precise
I will never forget!! It was the best time, I loved watching and rooting for J.Lin whatever team he was on. Miss you bro!!
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!
They'd rather feature melo in their faux triangle offense and they're now paying the price lol
+Golden State Warriors morph?
+Golden State Warriors no I mean u never give me shoutouts
Everybody's favorite basketball players usually are, Steph Curry, LeBron James, or Kevin Durant, mine is Jeremy Lin.
Millions of fans followed on JLin
If Anthony didn't envy this guy, he'd have a nice career at NY Knicks. Turned his career around when he had to go to Houston!!!
knicks was so happy back then.
Man, I never get bored watching Linsanity over n over again.
Jeremy Lin raking those fouls like no other. No flop no fake ass acting just pure determination to win
I get tears in my eyes every time I see these Linsanity games. Bro’s contract is on the fucking LINE and he had NO CHOICE but to show out. Legend.
Watch this so many times, still gives me goosebumps
Linsanity was one of the greatest moments in sports history.. One minute they love you, next minute they forget you..
Lin and chandler got some good chemistry.
One of the best NBA memories ever. JLin was really this good in his prime. So confident, so instinctual and so fast.
As an Asian I’m really proud of him, hope he can play as long as he can, god bless linsanity #champion🙏
i guess i wasnt the only one that came looking for a positive comment
As an Asian, i could really care less that he’s asian
Glad to see him playin with the raptors now
That's true. I'm happy that he fits and actually plays well as a 'Team'
Probably win the ring
With a ring
Won a Ring
Now you don't see him at all lmao he been a bum
That 1 month was fucking magical, I know people who don't watch sports tuning in to watch Linsanity. Madness.
Jeremy had the whole team playing up and together while Melo-Hog was out. It was great
