      Aka Showtime it’s really annoying when people say that I’m not even a melo fan and I agree with the video but Jeremy Lin’s career failing is 1000 percent his fault. So Robert Horry had a better career than mj since he won 7 and Jordan won 6 the logic in that is so stupid so he had a better career than Allen Iverson as well lol🤣

      Also take into account the drought of no Knicks post-seasons before & after Linsanity. Before Jeremy came along, there were 8 of 10 seasons prior without playoffs. And afterwards, another 7 straight seasons of no post -season... until 2020. Sure they had a good season in 2012-2013, post-Lin, but that was about it, done for another 7 years of nothing. If anything, Jeremy's "divine" short mission during lockout 2011-2012 was to bring the Knicks back to 0.500 so they could have a post-season. Some may call these things a coincidence, but when Jeremy, as a devout Christian, desperately prayed that he could stay in the league after being cut twice prior, you might have to think otherwise. But it's not just about prayers, you have to work on that prayer. He did the same thing in Charlotte, where he got the Hornets into the post-season in 2015-2016, after a decade of nothingness with only 1 other prior post-season & 1 other later post-season without him, but the rest of those decades before & after were also blanks of no playoffs. As far as LIn staying in NY, the handwriting was on the wall when D'Antoni left & the full story of that hasn't really come out & probably never will, with Melo having also been a rumored suspect in that. Then take into account that James Dolan said he would "pay a billion dollars" jokingly to keep Lin, but when Houston's poison pill came along, Dolan's billion-dollar promise (even though it was a joke) went up in smoke. Lin is currently playing in Taiwan (after his stint in China), & has also put up a 38-point high there, just as he did a 38 in New York & a 38 in Houston. That number 38 sure is "odd" though (pun intended) & seems to have followed Lin wherever he goes.

Then Melo ruined that and of course Melo also ruined Linsanity. The guy was just a cancer to any team he was on.

      You gotta understand, when Lin was in Houston, he went to play for a coach that really didn't value him and play Lin to his strenghts, talking about Kevin McKail.
      Then they went out and got a young Harden who never saw a shot he didn't like. This was prob worse than playing with Melo. He didn't avg more than 13, yeah, but he was still very solid in Houston, 13 a game with 6 assists. In NY he would have been a good 20ppg scorer with about 8-9assist a game for sure.
      Since Lin left NY, he got jerked around by coaches A LOT!. 2 of them, Mchaile and Byron Scott did him DIRTY!

    OMG! WOW! I can't believe you're doing a story on this very subject. I've said this in several basketball videos , for the last 4 years. And NY fans that love Carmelo was telling how I was lying and didn't know what I was talking about. Camelo's jealousy of h being in the spotlight caused him to freeze Lin out on the court several times, he would hate on him right there on the court. Carmelo created a following amongst his teammates, that seemed to play and work against Jeremy Lin's Success. I was pissed watching black players act that way towards a teammate just because he was getting the spotlight.

Melo could have been a top 10-15 player, if he had of dedicated himself to defense and winning. He was a good rebounder, and had all the tools to be a good defender, had he cared enough. As good as he was, I still feel he was one of the worse waste of talents the NBA ever saw.

However the Celtics medical staff had advised him to possibly sit out for the playoffs because of it, but he refused to. During the ECF vs the Cavs, he went and inflamed it. THAT was what messed up his career. Danny Ainge traded him because he knew that injury would affect his athleticism in the long term, but also knew that other teams weren't aware of the seriousness yet. During the off season before the trade, the talk around the league was still about Isaiah finally getting a max deal the following year. That's why so many people felt like swapping IT for Kyrie was a perfectly fair trade. In fact, it wasn't even uncommon to hear that the Cavs actually won the trade.
      I do kind of agree that Ainge did him dirty because of everything IT sacrificed to help that team win. I feel like he should have at least called him to let him know the situation. But ultimately, Ainge just did his job, and that's why he's one of the top execs in the NBA

Lin could of made big plays in the playoffs if it weren’t for Fred playing his ass off and Lowry staying healthy.

Knicks didn't match Houston's offer that year (14 million/year), + Mike D'Antoni had left. If I were Jeremy, I'd prolly go to Houston too (starting job, more money) but yeah everyone know Harden is PG/SG/SF there. Lin was third wheel if anything for Harden & Superman dynamic.

Linsanity actually put that team across the country at that time. Lin got so much potential and with all those hypes, the people could make so much money out of him by doing endorsement especially for the Asia global market. We all know China is a tremendous market. How many Nike shoes they could sell at that time if Jlin got treated good and shined. BUT NO, someone fucked him up so bad.

    I agree with the points made about Carmelo, but it's the claim that Jeremy Lin could have been a world beater that puts me down. Like someone already stated, if you can have star-like stats in a SINGLE team and working with a SINGLE system, then you're not a star. He had his fair share of chances with other franchises. Literally no one except Knicks could find something for him? Absolutely no one? And all the blame falls on Melo?
    I don't buy it, and that's my personal opinion, not putting up facts. Had Lin been that good, we should have heard more of him in the past few years after he left New York. Granted, we may have seen more of Linsanity had Melo backed down a little. But that argument can be put for every player in every team that had a strong start but eventually faded.
    Melo is selfish, we all know that, be it the Lin situation or not. But he is definitely not the one who ruined Jeremy's career or anything.

      when he went to houston, the coach preferred playing patrick beverly over lin, and james harden was the ball handler. if the coach doesnt want to play you and when he does play you doesnt let you play to your strengths, you are limited. i'm not saying it is all racism, but it plays a role. the proof is looking at his history. the proof is looking at linsanity numbers that rival jordan's numbers. i'm not saying he is michael jordan or even close- but if your entire life everyone doubts you including all your colleagues and coaches, it is a huge hurdle to overcome. in the middle of linsanity, floyd mayweather tweeted how the only reason jeremy is getting attention is because he is asian and that black players do the same thigns he does every night. this is super telling. you are seeing someone play at superstar levels, but you are believing he can't be that good because of the way he looks.

    Lin was at the right place and right time playing within the confines of the right offensive scheme to suit his game. That Carmelo Anthony ruined that maybe somewhat true in regards to that one season. Jeremy Lin however had other opportunitites with other teams where he did not flourish, which tells me he didn't have the skills to acclimate himself and flourish in other offensive schemes but the one Antoni ran when he was with the Knicks. That isn't a career ruined by Carmelo Anthony rather than a career that was put to a halt by Jeremy Lin's limited skillset.
    People need to take into account that teams scout opponents out and adjusts their offenses and defenses accordingly. Once Lin's opposition got a hold of video on how he played, the league adjusted to him and Lin had no answers for that. The greats adjust to the different defenses, Lin was limited in that he wasn't able to re-adjust.

      A year late but you gotta think that jeremy lin was in teams that didn't trust in him being the franchise player. In Houston, he had to learn how to play offball since James harden came in to Houston too wanting that team to be his and Houston decided to pick harden as their franchise player. James harden already knew how to play off ball since he was nearly sixth man of the year in OKC. But decided to become more ball dominant and jeremy had to adapt to that. With the Lakers he had to play with Kobe Bryant, a man where the ball is all his. Kobe just came off a injury too which made his flames roar even more wanting the ball. And Byron scott was a terrible coach too since he was leaving out players in plays so Kobe doesn't get the blame for them losing. Finally in charlotte he was able to show his fruits of labor of his offball handling and they made it to the playoffs. In Brooklyn, he had 2 years of consecutive injuries, which then put him as injury prone. He was then sent to Atlanta which he showed again that he could still play. He was then with raptors but due to lack of opportunities to play actual minutes and games he was unable to show how good he is. His story is a story of how hard it is to become a great nba player. You need luck, trust, and opportunities for you to get recognized. There are a lot of players like him who don't have those 3 things and never became great and then will be known as scrubs or just straight up trash. This is the reality of most nba players. Everyone is always trying to find that feel good story where the players become great but no one looks at the stories where there is tragedy, pain, and unluckiness because it's sad, pitiful, more realistic of happening.

      Not true, Ruben. Some other teams he played for, such as the Houston Rockets, didn't run the offense the way that worked best for Lin.

      Wrong. Lin is a team player. Every NBA team he played in had a "Carmelo" in it who only wanted the spotlight and never played as a team. Jealousy against Lin was real.

      Great team players adjust to the offense, coach, and defenses around him. Lin did'nt make those adjustments and rather you're tellimg me that the whole team should have adjusted and played to Lin's strenghths (a single player) rather than the other way around where the player adjusts to the team concept and what each player needs to do for the team to win.
