@@ssj-rose4572 imagine talking shit when he stayed in the league for 9 seasons smh goofy ass

The guy made over 60 million in the NBA. He made the most of it.

Carmelo will get a ring when lala returns it

nahh he ain't that. You don't speak for all Asians

@@Amr_D you ain’t Asian

I agree, guy went to Harvard after all 👀

Lmaooo duh you guys have literally maybe 3 players to be proud of as far as nba accolades go and he is average at best lmaoo

Lol where’s the affirmative action for Asians in sports

⁠​⁠@@deesus1085 cause Asians aren’t given the same opportunity in sports. He was overlooked several times.

He was one of my fav mostly because hes asian and im also glad he got his ring playing for the raps

lol.. bro he barely played in the finals 😂

@@leroy_nguyen And he still has more rings than Carmelo Anthony ever will

I loved that on road games the Asian contingency showed up in full force and erupted every time he did something good. That game winner had the stadium shaking.

Me too. So proud of him.

Just found the vid. wow you're right

@@Wwetitanfan27 for real? Mind linking the vid

Knicks fan base is huge man, it’s like that no matter where the Knicks play. Which I find crazy because the Knicks are never really that good

@@dropoff2986 well you gotta think about how big the population of people from new York is and their dedication to their team

And large Asian NBA fan base in Toronto

well at the time it was obvious, but didnt report it...Carmelo wanted Lin off the team. The rest of team knew that. Go watch those games...all the team mates (minus melo) were thriving with Lin's ball movement which was Dantoni's system. Dantoni demanded melo be traded or he would resign. I give Dantoni much props for resigning. Donnie Walsh the "GM" that got blind sided by that horrible melo trade also resigned btw. Melo ruined the knicks for a huge time span. His trade brough along Cahuncey billups and that was huge b/c knicks used the amnesty on Billups when they could have saved it to use on Amare contract. Media sided with Melo.

@@Urbohat oh man, the way Lin made every single one of his teammates perform like the stars they've been their while lives gives me goosebumps. True leader. Everyone on that team was thriving hard. I can go back and watch all those games, it's the way the game should be played.

@@csl9495 yes and then it stopped...it all stopped b/c they had to please meeelo. Lin should have been a knick and he would have done well there. But knicks refused to offer him a contract. Meelo then proceeded to turn Porzingas against knicks later on. That melo trade was the worst thing to happen to knicks.

Amare came out and said it out flat. Melo didn’t want Lin on the team because he was jealous of Lin’s popularity. Which player would come out and criticize another for “getting too much money “? If Lin stayed, Melo’s career after that probably would be much better. Karma’s a bitch, isn’t it?

@@victorliang9997 NY media has much blame also...they loved Melo when it was obvious to anyone with a brain that he could Never be the leader of a contender. He REFUSED to play defense. Linsanity was the most excitement from the knicks in the past decade. This past year many knick fans actually thought knicks had a chance to go deep in the playoffs. Today they want Thibadeu fired. Maybe they'll trade away all their next five years draft picks for Zion who can get paid 300 million to be on Injured list. After the way they treated Lin I gave on the knicks. There was some hope with Phil suggesting a big trade for Porzingas to the celtics which would have given knicks a haul. Media killed Phil and got him to go which he happily did with the full 60 million. NY media doesn't understand basketball.

Carmelo will get a ring when lala returns it

Time flies 😔

Too bad Carmelo Anthony was jealous of him

@@emc8481 word I wish they traded melo and built around Lin

@@emc8481 Melo wasn't the problem. He praised Lin a ton and even said he "fell to us from on high." He was always a supporter of Lin. The issue was, D'antoni was a divisive coach and didn't want to incorporate Melo'a skillset into the offense, instead trying to turn him into a spot up shooter like he did to Pau Gasol the following season in LA to predictably poor results. Ultimately D'antoni was let go and Lin was reportedly given a false promise from Knicks management. He wanted more money and they said they'd match any offer. Then Houston reportedly offered more than they could match and they opted to re-acquire Felton who played great in D'antoni's offense the year before. The Knicks and Lin's plans didn't pan out obciously. Lin went to Houston and Felton didn't perform on the same level as before with his fitness being a large concern. But what sunk Lin's career had nothing to do with Melo. It was largely injuries and the fact that Lin's attempt to go for his money didn't pay off for his long term career. He wound up playing with Harden who was already basically playing pg and who had a reputation for having issues sharing the spotlight with co-stars like Dwight and later, CP3. Lin got bumped somewhat to the 2 position and, without the heavy pick and roll offense he thrived in, his career began to spiral downward. It's unfortunate because Mike Woodson, who replaced D'antoni in NY, had the perfect offense for the team. He melded the heavy pick and roll offense that Lin thrived in with Melo's iso game and developed an elite offense to go with a stout defense. If Lin had stayed in NY, it would've been a perfect fit. Instead, he got paid more in the short term and probably lost out on a lot after that and the Knicks, although they had 1 great regular season, weren't able to replicate the success with no co-star to solidify the team.

@@thellamaman lmfaooooo you don’t know basketball 😂😂😂 gtfo

@@emc8481 false narrative. The best thing the Knicks could have done was let this overrated piece of shit walk. He did literally nothing after leaving the Knicks, he was exposed for the average player he was. The Knicks won 50+ games the very next season without him. And let’s not forget that he didn’t wanna play in the playoffs. Guy was MID.

I know what you're trying to say but there was a ton of hard work and dedication before and after linsanity

@@jimhim585 so you ain't saying nothing

@@jimhim585 a lot of players worked hard but never got the chance.

@Joey Rice yes, I'm aware

No, The Chinese pay him better now in ...somewhere in China

He didnt even contribute for the ring...

@@BisuTenshi still made a name for himself

@@BisuTenshi he did on practice and scrims, also the season before playoffs

@@BisuTenshi but he still deserved it after of all the work he has done

​@@BisuTenshi ... People forget that the NBA has been around for 75 years & in all those years, many players never really got much playing time & mainly benched. But yet, when a team wins, no matter what sport, every player on that team as well as the coaching staff & the executives/owners, all win the trophy together. It is unfair to Jeremy that he would be singled out as one player in one season out of all the 75 seasons in the history of the NBA to be unworthy of a championship, when there have been many others who did very little contribution, but yet they have never been singled out themselves. As the old saying goes, the whole team wins or the whole team loses. And let's not forget that Jeremy was acquired mid-season in February 2019 by the Raptors, so that wasn't enough time for him to understand how all the other players played. He was also coming off a stint at Atlanta that made him feel that he was going to worse teams, not to mention the physical & psychological effects of the season-ending injury he got a couple years earlier with the Nets. I would say his playing confidence wasn't really high during the Raptors. Plus coach Nurse had to make sure to put the primary players on the court, the ones that had larger acquisations, I suppose. Sure, Lin is not the best player, but he's not the worse either. He is right there in the middle, which is enough talent, hard work & skill to still be playing major league NBA. He even swallowed his ego when he entered G-league last year. He made a name for himself during Linsanity because he could play ball & got the city, the country & the world to be excited, when the Knicks were sucking for 15-20 years before he arrived in NY. You can even see footage of girl fans smiling & screaming in delight when he entered a room or out of a car at the time of Linsanity.

I hear ya. The last decade really flew by. Went from 22 to 32

I started watching the year before that. Linsanity was exciting

LOL

Lol

💯

Facts 🔥

Carmelo will get a ring when lala returns it

Yeah cause he scored on Kobe 1-1 right? LOL. I like Lin but lakers had Derek fisher guarding him 😂 “on Kobe’s head” lmao

@@am3818 he a Melo fan. Give him some slack 😂

Don't like to the play the race card but race was definitely a factor in why Lin wasn't kept around longer by the NBA and also why although he had quite a stellar G League performance he was never called up by the NBA.

@@kevinishott1 yeah when all the numbers play out it ultimately doesn't make any sense other than races for him to keep getting so criminally underrated

@@kevinishott1 that makes no sense whatsoever. NBA ponders to China whenever they can, you figure they would throw away billions in profit just so they could opress someone for their race?

@@cimi93x Well then again, Lin is a taiwanese decendants not mainland China. And who can even imagined what the Chinese goverment want to do with Taiwan

@@huytruong1897 ah ok, so it's China doing evil shit as usual, and NBA being an extension of it... If you're from Taiwan i'm so sorry you have to deal with the tyrant that is China.

same here, i love watching underdogs so i follwed his career up until his Antlanta phase

Respect! He was one of my favorites!

For 2 weeks?

SAME HERE BOI!!!

@@ssj-rose4572 yes! It was very inspirational to see another Taiwanese American play in the nba, especially my hometown team

100%. Certain ethnics, such as asians probably have many academic merits, while being good athletically. But due to the nature sports and marketing, consumers most likely will resonate to someone whos black, because theyre viewed as "disadvantaged". Hence the prolification of an "underdog" story sells better than lets say jeremy lin here, whos got academic merits from Harvard university and can also play basketball

Daryl Morey said it himself he discriminated against JLin. All his advanced "stats" said to draft him but he said he simply didn't believe what he was seeing just because Jlin was asian.

@@trcs3079 And Honestly them Black Folks are the biggest Cry Babies👶 There is...They Blackballed Jeremy Lin. Jealousy Smh.

@@housesavagemafia7504 jealousy😂? He was a top player for 5 seconds, no one is jealous

@@anthonyp2883 you sound pretty jealous to me. Intellegent people will always make less intellegent people feel insecure

He went to your high school and beat your high school? 🤔

@@mikep9758 what? He went to my local public high school and I went to a neighboring private high school

@@kingice2439 you said he went your public high school. You don't own the school or palo alto so if you didnt attend that school don't say "my public high school"

@@Endalamu sounds like I’m living rent free in your head

@@kingice2439 youre living rent free on the sidewalk with those brain cells

Man why does everyone have to put in there stats in a video like this. Ur not cool

@@alexsampson5735 for context brother. I thought I worded my comment well. He was a inspiration way before linsanity. I literally went hardest I've ever went my time playing trying to be better than him. I only mentioned my stats to highlight how much he inspired my season.

Those are impressive numbers if true, MB. Keep it up

Nope, the league figured out he was one-handed.

@@ryanabbeyseon much like the league figured out Melo wasn't a leader? 🤨 C'mon man... Let's be real here. Most guys have a particular set of skills and they stick to it their entire career, but you not acknowledging that Melo couldn't allow someone else to be the star especially in NYC is truly blind.

@@TheLegendaryFolklore I agree Melo WAS a terrible Leader....but let's be real....The League did everything in their power to keep this going....Jeremey was on SIX different teams since then. Are you suggesting that Jeremey only has skills that were unlocked while on NY? He didnt have skills to be a legit NBA Journeyman?

@@TheLegendaryFolklore you telling me to be real but saying Lin could’ve been a star 😂😂😂

@@ryanabbeyseon lol....right....he needs to be real..Mans was one SIX different teams since NY.

Imagine him being with the Dubs this year. Oh well. He had his run in New York, and he has a ring. I’d say that’s a successful career!

@Kings Will Soon Rise Bro he was shooting close to 50% as a PG and with 5+ assists per game.. you're telling me Warriors or any team for that matter can't use a guy like that? Stop hatin

His biggest asset was his speed. He doesn't have it anymore after injuries. He's not a IQ pg like paul. He relied on athleticism.

Nah. NBA doesnt deserve him. Its a pos racist organization

It's unfortunate he didn't stay. D'antoni's coaching approach was divisive for not only the Knicks but LA in the following seasons. Mike Woodson's offense in 2013 would've been perfect for both Melo and Lin to thrive. Uptempo offense with heavy pick and roll options for the pg and then a healthy dose of Melo on the block with shooters everywhere. Jason Kidd probably would've been great for Lin too. Still a Greta story that he went on the run he did.

Next level as in 1st round exit every year

​@@amarirasheed6 That's way more accomplishment than not even reaching the playoffs 😂

@@ChikoTheOGDog You're better off tanking and getting a top 3 pick every year because at least you are setting yourself up for success in 5-10 years. Getting bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs every year leaves you in virtual purgatory. You're not good enough to go deep in the playoffs and you're not bad enough to get a high draft pick. If you're a small market team, you're just existing at that point.

@@amarirasheed6 I know but they could’ve kept Jeremy Lin and gave him a solid offer. Knicks GM just didn’t want to risk it. Because they’d rather have a system built around Melo than try new things with Jeremy Lin. Guess what happened after that?

Lin had a bunch of opportunities to be a great player but once he wasn't a surprise anymore he stopped being effective

I don’t know about all that. When scouting report came out on him he got locked up.

@@2Tall2ActSmall you're kidding right??? Melo couldn't handle someone else taking his shine. It was Melo's dream to be THAT guy in NYC. Their teammates even knew there was tension in the locker room. Amare Stoudemare mentioned it.

@@TheLegendaryFolklore So wait....I loved the Linsanity era....but by saying this...you guys are suggesting that Jeremey Lin was only a moment and a situational thing.....cause he was on not on 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, but SIX different teams since NY....You blaming Melo for his six other opportunities?

@@2Tall2ActSmall Lol he was basically blackballed by black players. Dude if he wasn't Asian, they would have played him like everybody else. But that period of him exploding made the blacks jealous, focusing all they have into proving Lin was a fluke. He also had stars playing with him that didn't want him to succeed. Melo was pretty obvious, Harden was too although that happened coz they both need to have the ball in their hands. But Melo was the worst. You can just see once he came back to playing that Linsanity was over.

For real

Greatness sports story ? lol please stop

Lmao Linsanity but cmon.

😳

That whole situation screamed Knicks ineptitude. And what's really unfortunate is the Knicks roster and offense under Mike Woodson the following season fit Lima ND Melo perfect. Sometimes, I wonder what would've happened if not for that whole situation.

It’s Carmelo Anthony’s fault. He didn’t like sharing the spot light, and he wanted the ball in his hands

Facts Melo was Real Jealous of Jeremy Lin.

You wished they kept Lin instead melo lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you on drugs

@@REALTRUEJOURNEY melo didnt do jack shit for ny but a first round exit. even now this old bum dont do shit but chuck shots and not play D

@Kings Will Soon Rise what about linsanity

Melo didn't ruin anything. Lin went after the money, wound up on a team that didn't suit him in Houston, and his career went downhill. That's on him.

Karma got him

@@copomo Yo man 😕

@@copomo lmao

What did you expect from a rapist?

Kobe was great, but greatness often yields cocky and arrogance, like MJ. I respect their game, don't really respect them as humans.

Exactly 💯.
