Baron Davis on Jeremy Lin's "Linsanity" Moment & Carmelo Anthony's Issues w/ It 

Man it’s terrible

Bruuuuh

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's some strong cocaine 🤧

Plleeeaassseeeeeeee

I'm happy Lin got a ring not Melon 😅

@@aquaviiiMe too! Melo ran Lin and D’Antoni out of town.

Melo the type of player who you just hate as a teammate. Never passes, and team just always loses. Dude would rather get individual accolades than win. I’ve never like playing with those types , born to sink their own team. Ringless for a reason.

@@jaylucas8352always loses yet never missed the playoffs in Denver???

@@JROB447he had some really stacked teams on denver but only got to the second round like once 😂

Word

Host kept interpreting geez

BD: there was tension between Lin and Melo when we played. Host: But you know GRANT HILL is top 10 no injuries. 😑

host needed to stfu when BD is talking.. smh .. let the man speak

@@Phoenix-nl2ut Not only that but he didn't do his homework on the Knicks. "Was Amare on the team yet?" Uhh Amare was on the team before Davis, Lin, and Anthony lol. "Was D'Antoni the coach?" Bro....that's part of the reason why Lin was so successful. D'Antoni's system has the point guard as the central component of it.

Good times. That was a world wide story.

I'm happy Lin got a ring and not melon 😅👍

​@@aquaviiihe didn't earn it.

Ran with what? Back to China 😂

​@@aquaviii ... Yup, Melon doesn't even have a ring, even after being brought back into the league a couple years ago. It's weird how some people focus saying how Lin did not earn a ring, yet in the 70+ years of the NBA (and also a decade of ABA), there were countless number of players on the bench that deserved their championships just as much as the ones who had more minutes. And he also joined the Raptors mid season (February), he was never with them the whole season. And Lin was also still hampered by his 2017 knee injury in 2019. He has done much better in the CBA since then, as the aftereffects of that injury have pretty much healed & disappeared.

It’s crazy how much hate this dude got. Man was too nice for his own good and he says he regrets how much shit he let slide

@@JaysonHoang14 I am Asian American myself and I too felt bad for what Jeremy went through as an average player.

@@JaysonHoang14He said he was too nice that’s why he got punked during those early years.

I'm happy Lin got a ring and not melon 😅

@@JaysonHoang14 it is due to racism

Happy Lin got a ring 😎👍

Including not playing in the playoffs

I remember hoping him and Melo would click. Was thinking Melo finally had his PG

​@@sudeshrampersaud5191 You dont end up in an NBA roster by mere luck. And in practice, steel sharpens steel. So many good players got a ring without seeing much action in the playoffs. On top of thay he got paid. Now you go on back to work, them burger patties wont flip themselves.

@@sudeshrampersaud5191goofball

Wrong Melo saved the Knicks Lin got hurt and exposed by the heat and never played a game again while Melo carried them to the playoffs March and April to play the heat averaging 27 points in that span with a big game winner against the bulls tell the people the truth

@@nilesmaxwell758 people like you watch/follow the game from a numbers and analytics aspect and don’t take into account the psychological/human factors. There was already high amounts of tension in the locker room. The ball was taken out of Lin’s hands and the offense ran through Melo and Lin lost the backing of the coaching staff. All this happened in a short time. Any sane person experiencing what Lin went through would have hiccups. He obviously had flaws and weaknesses, but who’s to say he couldn’t work on them and develop as a player. Melo coming back was the beginning of the end of winning for that franchise. No disrespect to Melo but be honest. Melo did not like Linsanity and he wanted his team back

Lin was a bum who played good for a few games that's why he is where he is now still complaining

@@irockline wrong again if numbers and analytics wasn't important it wouldn't be in the game so cut that out. Two Lin still didn't come close to getting what Melo was getting we seen what happen the next year when Melo took them to the second round and had the best season ever playing his style. Lin was a bum and the reason I like to argue with stans like you is because Lin never played like again in his life if he went some where and was average at best how can you sit and say the stuff your saying. Melo was the one who git him in to play that nets game and like the first comment everything I said was facts not off feelings

@@irockline btw the team was going to be his any that's what they paid and traded fir you think a undrafted kid is going to come and take a future hall of famer spot stop. My proof is he didn't do nothing when he left so get over it

Two months? More like two weeks, Melo wasn't gone that long,

who is dan d’antoni?

Yup, Linsanity was 2 months, not 7 games or 2 weeks or whatever. Before Linsanity, the Knicks had 8 of 10 years of no-postseason. After Linsanity, the Knicks only had 1 more good season, as they were riding off Linsanity but without Lin. After that they then again had another long drought of no playoffs for 7 straight seasons, not until 2020-21. If anything, Jeremy's mission in NY was to bring them up to 0.500 to make playoffs again after a long time. Jeremy did similarly at Charlotte 2015-16, which had a majority of no postseasons for a decade before him. And after Lin left, they still have no postseasons straight, even to this day. These days, Jeremy is hooping in his parents' home country, dropping 35, 38 & 50-point etc scores, just like the 38 he dropped as a Knick & as a Rocket.

His post dunk celebration on kirilenko was cold

😂😂😂 we all know why. One word: racism. A single Asian athlete shining bright in a black majority sport. Cant have that can we.

Linsanity got his flowers, didn't you hear, he was the biggest name on the planet for those weeks. Lin rode that wave of fame and earn himself a comfortable millions. But people get Jeremy Lin and Linsanity mixed up.

@@Jews_C0ntr0l_daa__worlddokay white boy stop it 😂 we know yall two love each other but chill out .. dude wasn’t all that

He a perfect example of why we shouldn’t give everyone money and clout

BD can’t even finish one sentence without him interjecting. Like STFU

Word... Didn't even let him finish answering most of the questions 😂😂.

im saying though. ruined the whole segment being fanned out lmao

He on his vladtv shit. Nobody came to see you otis 😂😂😂

that's what I'm saying. can't even listen to this shit... host kept over shouting BD

Keep on over talking him

Didn't he play a total of 2 minutes in the 2019 playoffs l? 😂

​@kuunami more then Melo. 😂

​@@aceloco817 I'm sure that bench championship is rewarding but I'll take Melo's career over Lin's.

@@kuunami Melo went to go ring chase and didnt even get a ring lol

@@kuunami melo will always be known as one of the greatest scorer to never win a title they did melo no respect the last couple years he was in the league

Way to feminize it at the end LOL

​@@brootal4234bro u dumb af lmao. Cinderella runs are not gender specific.

Well all but one of the teammates

@@brootal4234 it's just a term nicca.. my entire manhood does not rest on my typing of my own perception

@@spykeex69 true that

Yup that was the magic of Linsanity, it became a global event, including to those who don't watch the game.

Yup, came back to watching basketball because of Lin. He made the team fun to watch when he was directing the team.

Lol!! Delusional!!

😂lol a couple weeks of good basketball

So not the very next season when you guys were the 2nd seed?

I'm happy Lin got a ring and not melon 😅

Ayoooooo you’re right

Him and shump would have a valid pod

He doesn’t update it anymore but he did about 60 episodes last year. It’s called Point God

Yeah he definitely needs his own podcast

Casual. The man been had his own pod

I wished the host would’ve let him actually talk tho, dude interrupted him every time!

Completely went over his head lol

😂😂 yeh that shit spun him

Clueless dummy

Exactly & that includes having "Linsanity" officially inducted as a word into different dictionaries (but not all of them). So it's not just his name, Jeremy Lin, cemented in history, but also the word for the phenomena that was inadvertently (or not) created from what happened, is also in the history books... & dictionary, heh. Not even Vinsanity is as prevalent & common as Linsanity.

That's nice, but look at his post-Linsanity career. He got a championship ring with Toronto, a year in which injuries kept him from playing very much at all. What could that ring possibly mean to him? Then no team in the NBA picked him up, even though he wasn't very old. He was an underdog from his high-school years, had a fluke run of insane success, then was sort-of thrown away. I actually feel very sorry for him. I hope his career and life in China is happier.

If your not chinese u dont care and wont remember i waatched it and it was cool and ehh we move on

@@Nykforeva Stop the cap goofy. I aint chinese and I salute and respect J Lin.

thats you i dont elevate other races for doing something we are the blue print for...go on and love off your china man but for me im with Melo he is great so what are we talking about a fluke...trash im a Knick fan i was there for it but i was there for Melos run and thats what i remember not LIn.@@JohnDoe-kx1yt

I know right! I’m like “bro, stop… let Baron cook for a minute” 😂

Hindsight is great like that

​@@themack74so why didn't lin produce more then what he did 😂😂😂

jeremy lin got exposed quick

Isaak u mad Lin git exposed and never put up what Melo did he the reason they also went to the playoffs when Lin got hurt after being exposed lol

That's why Joe Rogan is a mega star. Joe would stay quiet and let his guests finish their thoughts without interrupting.

I didn't realize this until I read this comment lmao Kev gotta chill

​@@8mathdaddyRogan has so much experience doing interviews it's hard to compare him

Still This is like common. Sense.

A lot of hosts don't shut up !!! They want attention too,not realizing it's not about them.Folks tune in for their guests.

100% Fact 💪🏾💪🏾

😂😂😂😂😂 u cant be serious

😂lol iman said melo loved lin

Kirby shut the hell up. Melo never played I ball even as the leading scorer.

@@Jc-ly6pe he also said everyone was curious to know how things would be amongst the team once Melo returned.

When Lin got the offer from the Rockets, Melo and JR Smith publically said he wasn't worth the Knicks re-signing him even though the Knicks told Jeremy to find his worth in the league since they didn't think he was worth the $5 million to re-sign him. The Rockets offered him around $7 million per season.

Wrong Lin contact fir the rickets was 14 mill a year. You can google it and it would of put the Knicks in luxury tax situation so they told Lin no had Lin not signed that contract he would if been a knick his fault not Melo and Jr fault. Off-season they got Felton and kidd what was you guys watching and reading smh

@@nilesmaxwell758thank u finally someone who knows what they talking about I mean it wasn’t 14 mil but it was like close and that was almost as much as Westbrook was getting paid

@@NACentDSTM he got it his third year. His first two seasons was 5 mill

@@nilesmaxwell758 ahh got u could have sworn he was getting like 9 or ten mil in Houston but I could be wrong and then like 12 mil a year on the nets

True, he was still putting up good Linsane-like numbers when he got to Houston, even getting another 38-point high game.

​@@bernardmartin6996 ... "Averaged the most points and assists but no team signed him." -- Isn't that history repeating itself? That was just like the start of his career. So yep, when he went to the minor leagues instead, that was frustrating. How could you send a 10-year long NBA veteran, who captured the world by storm & was on Sports Illustrated cover twice (& Time magazine once), to the minors? And when Lin wasn't called up to the majors during his play in G, I bet management's excuse was his back spasms, which eventually got better. He could have re-joined with Steph Curry again, when they used to be team mates in 2010. That could have blown up & become Linsanity 2.0, now that he was on a winning team. That Linsane hype could have made Golden State even more money, on top of the hype already there. It was a missed opportunity. Sometimes an athlete needs inspiration & motivation, not stats, to start scoring better. He has since been doing better now in the CBA, although I'm unsure if he still has back issues, but it doesn't seem to have affected his game in the past few years. It would be nice to see him back in the NBA again, but time is running out due to his age. If anything, he could possibly return to the NBA much later as a winning coach and/or a winning GM.

Not bad for jeremy, even his super stardom in the NBA was come up short coz the important was he is one of the global icon of the sport🎉🎉🎉🎉

Too bad he suffered a couple of injuries and never really was the same. Lin became a better shooter and his defense got a lot better. What derail him from playing was most likely not being available.

@diceup - Yup, him being Asian has a lot to do with it. That RU-vid video of him getting fouled hard on multiple occasions and not getting calls was absurd. If he was any other race, he would have gotten better opportunities. The biggest mistake of his career was going to Houston, but it wasn’t even his fault though. Sam Presti from OKC trading Harden early changed the trajectory of Lin’s career. If Harden was never made available, or if he was made available but just much much earlier in the FA process, Lin would have gotten a real shot with another team.

That's why his ass ain't got no rings. Selfish mindset instead of team.

He did, he was the that told the coaches to give him a chance

And then Lin had a trip in Miami and never felt the same lol

He was insecure he wasn’t getting all the attention. Huge ego.

Why? It was 6 games, he got exposed by Miami and it was over.

I'm happy Lin got a ring and not melon 😅

That month was crazy ... I couldn't believe my eyes, it looked almost staged. That man really popped out of nowhere and started leading the Knicks with crazy plays, game winning threes and making it look way too easy as well

I’m surprised you haven’t roasted him 😂

Lin contributed to the big Chinese tv contracts which has greatly improved the players salaries in nba as a global product. They all owe jeremy a debt of gratitude for that no cap.

​@@jaylucas8352no they dont

Time to come on home

-- let's keep it real: Some will even pop out another one just to get another 18 years. Should have called the Charlotte Bobcats the Charlotte Cougars?

​@@dances_with_myself9305hahahahahahah😂

I was looking for this comment. 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ong, he need to let ts go 🤣🤣😭

Jeremy Lin was Linsanity, but Barron's hair is INSANITY!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m just looking at his hairline smh I’m confident once he watch this video he’ll realize how crazy his hair looks and he will cut it off 🤞

Man I can't stand yall ofmg 😂 bruh need to chop that shit off asap

Lol me too he looking crazy

I clicked just to be petty and find comments like this 😅😅😂😂😂

No cap

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Me too ayo 😂😂😂😂

Hey who did he get a ring with

@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 the 2019 Raptors they beat the golden state warriors, I haven't been that happy for a Asian person to win since Bruce Lee whooped Chuck Norris

Chill 😂😂😂

Baron Davis is channeling his inner Derrick White. You'll never find Dum dum dum dum A hairline like mine

Yeah, that look crazy. Time to let it go.

Yea he looking fried wtf

Why all these old heads think cuz they get some shitty as dreads, all of a sudden they're wise/intellectual and woke? Jay over here trying to be a gay painter when your like 50+, this ish needs to stop!

Naw he could sustain it …. He just had a cancer on the team

I think he would have been able to sustain as long as people believed in him. Once they made it apparent that they were waiting for him to fail, it killed his spirit and confidence.

@@jermaineartis4323 Then he was doomed to fail regardless because no matter how good you are people are still going to hate. The type of confidence I'm talking about can't be broken by other people hating only fuels them and makes them stronger.

@@richardpage5812 there’s a truth to that…but what I meant is that it killed his momentum. It was all downhill from there.

@@jermaineartis4323 I hear you but what I'm saying is no amount of hate should have been able to stop him unless they just don't let him play because the type of confidence I'm talking can't be shaken. I'm talking that nobody can tell me ish confidence, he had a moment where he was able to tap into something deeper within himself but just couldn't sustain it. You can't blame haters because haters gonna hate but sustaining what he had, required that he not allow any of the hate to seep into his thought process unless it was to fuel his fire.

4 rings? Yea you could say GS did aight

Yea pretty alright I would say lol

😂lol melo top 75 lin is a role player

Gold medals and a NCAA championship.

Who did he get a ring with

@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 Toronto Raptors

After Lin went up against the Miami Heat, they put the clamps on him. He ended up sparaining an ankle or knee and the Knicks made the playoffs and lost to the Heat in first round

@@gramp334EXPOSED SWIFTLY

​@@gramp334exactly

Wrong Lin got exposed by the heat then injured while Melo carried the team to the playoffs stop lying to the people that the season he hit that game winner on the bulls... he avg like 28 points March through April so again stop capping

Without lin they were second in the east and won the conference

It’s time to go bald

@@BigCountry931 Right. Bring it on home😭

In all honesty that shit been fucked since new Orleans 😂

I'm happy Lin got a ring and not melon 😅

😂iman said he loved Lin and lin said melo was a great teammate 🤷‍♂️

Facts 💯

J Lin had every China town in the building where he played

@@DJEASE Definitely a good time.

Yeah because he was really shining in New York

@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 Word!

Mike D'antoni doesn't even want to play Jeremy Lin he had him sitting in the bench. I remember when I really wanted him to play him but he never gave him a chance until the very last minute. He kept playing Toney Douglas and Douglas was not playing well at that time at all

No it wasn’t

​@@EmpireHeatingCooling-ie4un ok if that team wasn't out best bet at winning.. tell me what year... we had the best chance of winning a chip?

Agreed

💀

😂

No he didn't Lin git a big contract from the rockets Lin didn't have to signed that contract you know and the Knicks didn't want to match it tell the real story

​@@nilesmaxwell758I think Lin said another reason why he went there was because D'Antoni went there and he does best under his system. If he would've stayed, he would've suffered

😂😂😂😂 yall are so delusional

This. Everybody forgets man was only just 24 and Mike Dantoni had time to help Lin strengthen his flaws and master his strengths. The writing was on the wall when Dantoni resigned due to differences with Melo.

If Lin was a talented young BLACK point guard that ran into that Miami defense and got shutdown, everyone would've rallied around him and helped him get better to continue his NBA journey. Instead, everyone was more concerned about the fame Jeremy attracted and did everything possible to let him continue the NBA journey all by himself. Tell me how the fuck a high IQ veteran point guard like Lin with his skill set, wasn't given a veteran minimum or even a tryout with a team the last 2 years.

​@@yeeluvspizzatruth

@@yeeluvspizza i mean even a Rocket executive admitted the racism of why JLin wasnt drafted

Stop

Cap. Lin is a bum Melo did alot for ny

All these comments for the dude to be putting out a joint laughing knowing damn well lol

@@mattycampy he went to 3 str8 playoffs with them. Phil Jackson came and traded away all his help he played with no Allstars unlike kd and lbj. Still Lin quit could of played the heat series but want to stay low to get a better contract... went somewhere else didn't do shit

🧢

You’re right and it’s crazy tgat melo did him like that

Yup, that's how the Butterfly Effect works. It's basically like an Excel spreadsheet. There's also something about fate, destiny, divine providence & preordainment.

People blame Melo but never remember what really happened

@@boxingtrav2473 I’m a Miami fan so I vividly remember thinking he was gonna show out Bron and wade and then being puzzled that MARIO CHALMERS out of all people locked up🔒 Jeremy😂

​@@RoBlaze3 It was not only Chalmers. The heat had incredible perimeter defense. They were great at hounding pick n roll point guards to death. Especially if they didn't have a great jumper.

STAT was glad he got another PG to get him the ball. Not Steve Nash level but still a PG who is a willing passer.

Yeah he has an offensive game. Thats it. And the only offense its iso. Not even play making. Just straight up iso middies or threes. Even his one dimensional game was one dimensional
