@@greaterbayareahero1401 ...Yup, D'Antoni revealed the truth in 2017. According to him, Melo said he will walk if D'Antoni stays as coach the next season, probably because coach preferred to make plays for Jeremy now & less for Melo, so D'Antoni being the gentleman he was, decided to resign. He did not get fired. Sad that the Knicks was not on D'Antoni's side of the argument. Melo may have had a nice time the following season, but that was it, for the next 5 years with NY.
@@greaterbayareahero1401 ... If only that was so, Melo working some odd jobs. But unfortunately, he was pulled back into the league by Lillard & the Blazers. For me that was highly ironic, because back in 2019, there were 2 rumors of Jeremy going to Portland. You can still find those articles online. You would think 2 rumors instead of 1 would help make a rumor become true, but it did not. Instead, the next year, they acquire Melo, who was already out of the league at that time. I was a big Blazers fan since 1980, but more so in 1990-1992 when they won western conference. My favorite player of all time is still C.Drexler. So when the rumor of Jeremy started to appear, I was quite anxious & hopeful. But then that turned to disappointment when they actually got Melo instead. Who knew that 2 former Knicks teammates during Linsanity would get involved, especially when one of them had historical internal conflict for the other teammate? Because of that, I stopped being a Blazers fan, even after 4 decades. There were other previous reasons of me losing interest in Blazers, but the acquisition of Melo instead of Jeremy was the FINAL nail in the coffin. Today, Melo has since moved on to the Lakers. I try to stay positive, but these are one of those times that I don't really wish Melo luck, because him going to LA seems like he is still probably chasing a ring with Lebron.
This was special and sadly they let Melo dictate how the team would go. They should have made Melo adapt; bottom line, Lin is a natural leader and Melo isn't.
It was the coach, the coach's system, and Lin was the gel. In that order exactly. Lin was never put in a situation again where he could run the offense from the point as he was doing on this run. Had they moved Carmelo the run would never have ended. Yes, I know about the claims of Mario Chalmers this and that...the truth is that Lin was not playing within D'Antoni's system...it was Woodson's bullshit feed Melo system...so the result was Lin being out of his natural element.
Melo ruins linsanity.. ... forces dantoni to resign.. then makes NYK fans.. dissapointed.. and now.. just watch hes going to go to another team next year.. what a F**K
Teamwork was good, chemi was better, result was great. You see how coach Mike was existed,calm, enthusiastic,happy. Removing coach Mike was mistake Knicks made it.
Linsanity was destroyed by Carmelo Anthony.. and the stupid owner. If only they had the guts to trade Melo away.. Lin can make something special happen for the Knicks with D'Antoni's system.. it's a perfect fit
Agree. Even before Linsanity happened, he gave Lin a chance by talking to the Knicks organization about trying to use him on court. Mike even told Lin not to bring his car to NY just in case he gets booted, just as a way to save him some costs. I think we are all glad that Mike saw Jeremy at the end of the bench on February 4, 2012. Mike might have not told him to play & just kept playing the injured players or the ones exhausted, but he got Lin in. I think it was fate. All the other guards were injured, opening the window for Jeremy. That's like parting the Red Sea.
Boy, to go from this, a D'Antoni at one of the brighter moments of his illustrious career, a decidedly happy, unbridledly optimistic D'Anoni, to the one just a handful of games after the return of Melo, a distraught, weary, defeated man, so despondent that he sees no solution other than to leave in the middle of the season... To go from the seemingly undefeatable specter of playing team-ball at its best to having one supreme egoist entirely undermining such promise and success. What a shame...
Wait let me rephrase that ... the NBA is scared Jeremy Lin will change the NBA completely and make it different. They don't want an Asian guy in the NBA to be the center of Attention.
A part of me wonder, had Carmelo's injury that season had kept out longer, would this have all continued? Had mike d'antoni not quit 2 seasons ago or still coaching JLin, how things would be different..
Now we look back,if the boss of NY KNICKS were sign Jeremy Lin a 4yrs 40millons in 2012,every things would be different,it will good for both Knicks and Lin,but the boss is stupid.
They should have matched Lin's contract then arrange for the Lin and Melo to go on a cruise together that offseason. They could have worked that out. The Knicks have no excuses.
Video time @ 6:53..... that question was hilarious. Mello is no more. What a whiner, Mello. Mello ruined the Knicks. God bless Mike D'Antoni & Jeremy Lin..
He hit it on the nail when he talked about playing like that and nobody knowing him. Jeremy Lin just never got the chance to be a leader. When he did Linsanity. 🤷♂️
I liked Lin, the Knicks should’ve kept Lin. They blamed it on salary cap but they could afford to keep him because of the revenue he was bringing and new ventures. Knicks wasn’t going to make money off Felton idk why they thought he would’ve been a better alternative.
If Jeremy woulda said aye kObe you know who I am now. Or something like that the crowd was waiting for that and would’ve fired them up. And woulda been a even bigger L for Kobe pretending he didn’t know him and one of the most iconic moments in nba history
@7:37 "...and guys ( Melo) will have to bend a little bit and also we''ll bend for them, and they (Melo) know that, they're (Melo) good guys..." We all learned later on that wasn't the case 😁
My dream for JLIN is to be a LAKER player. But if ever that happens maybe KOBE is already retired. But for now I will continue to support JLIN as a ROCKET player. I also would like to continue my support to the whole ROCKETS team !
Yes, if only that happened. Melo was the instigator for making D'Antoni resign. That's really messed up, when you mess around with other people's lives & careers instead of your own. And to make it worse, the Knicks actually took Melo's side, probably because they acquired him expensively & did not want to waste that money. Melo stayed with NY for 6 years & did not have much to show for it. He may have had a good year as a Knick in 2012-2013, post-Linsanity, but that's about it.
Does Kobe know who Jeremy Lin is now? I think Kobe is having nightmares since then waking up with sweat over his forehead screaming Jeremy Lins name! xD
Anybody said Jeremy Lin performance with Knicks 2012 was just Hyped because J. Lin is Asian is just Racist - History Repeat itself. This time it's Chinese American Harvard Graduate player.
Score 38 in the context of team basketball, that was better than what many stars could ever do.
I really liked this Knicks team: Lin, Shump, Fields, Novak, Chandler, Stoudemire, JR Smith all performing so well
Billy Walker, Jared Jeffries...bring 'em back!
JARED JEFFRIEEEEES!!
JAREEEED JEFFRIESSSSSSSSSS
Imagine if Carmelo was healthy! 8 championships in a row!
camelo a bum
Knicks haven't been that much fun since Ewing... and then Carmelo came back and ruin everything
Listening to Coach Mike, you can really sense he'd rather have Melo not return too soon.
It’s sad bc coach Mike was forced to leave the knicks and then Lin got traded :/
Melo put the dagger into Coach Mike as well as Lin….

Everyone was so happy then....miss those days.
never see Datoni so happy ever... good interview...
Jeremy is such a down to earth guy!

And we again see that Melo couldn't fit in other teams until Portland
I MISS THIS!!!
he forced himself to say that he was excited to have Melo and Amari back but you could tell by his initial reaction that he really wasn't.
linsanity would have never happened under byron scott....
at 10:38 he was going to say "who is kobe" but he changed his answer :)
What a great story indeed..., even after so many years later....
How could management have listened to Melo and not D'antoni and Lin. The enthusiasm alone is so rare it has to be revered. Fools.
Just like. Mike D said J Lin scored 38 pts while spreading the ball around not ball hogging.
Melo ruins linsanity.. ... forces dantoni to resign.. then makes NYK fans.. dissapointed.. and now.. just watch hes going to go to another team next year.. what a F**K
Samuel Kung so far true 😂
You just saw the future. What am I going to do in 10 years?
comment aged very well
Melo will never get a ring!!!. No team wants him!

What a shame...
THats the Melo effect. did the same in denver and in Knicks and got to the point where people dont wanna play with him,
Til this day it's still about the team & fans in Charlotte. JLin was & is still a team player.
Humble and smart.
and then Melo's ass came back to town and kiss the fairy tale goodbye!
NBA missed a huge chance at selling merchandise and the lin brand. retards :() that is alot of money they missed out on.
It is that they kiss their history goodbye
yeah! when big bad wolf came back its all gone....lol
Thanks, Jeremy! Haven't enjoyed basketball like this since the Magic-Bird era.
It took nine years for the Knicks to be fun again. Nine years
Return of Carmelo = end of Linsanity.
well lin has an NBA champion ring now...you know
Knicks should have kept the linsanity chemistry. They would have done better with Lin. Melo disrupted the chemistry!
So humble
Always great to remembered forever. #linsanity
The 360 spin around Fisher & the lay up will be #1 JL memorable moment in my opinion... He literally did some Shaolin move on Fisher.
df shaolin ? the man did a spin move and scored it was a good move but you sound retarded saying shaolin makes no fuckin sense
Grasshopper 🦗 move!!!!😝🤪🤔
nah the 3 pointer at the buzzer for the win.
i dont a coach ever gave a guy more praise and look more satisfied in a player of his.
Sometimes go with the underdog you never know what might happen
mike was in love during those seven games.
Never seen d antoni this happy with rockets
Wait let me rephrase that ... the NBA is scared Jeremy Lin will change the NBA completely and make it different. They don't want an Asian guy in the NBA to be the center of Attention.

Just imagine the Knicks going deep in the Playoffs with Lin starting, not necessarily winning the chip.
thanks Melo. We dont see D'Antoni 's smile and we dont see NYK fans' smile.
Now we look back,if the boss of NY KNICKS were sign Jeremy Lin a 4yrs 40millons in 2012,every things would be different,it will good for both Knicks and Lin,but the boss is stupid.
Unbelievable that they would fire Dantoni and not resign Jeremy the next season. Geeeesh
People that think Lin was overrated don’t watch basketball.
Dude is so fuckin happy haha. Too bad they got carmelo'd
When Amarie and Carmelo are ready to play are you going to let them back into the line up? lol
answer to first question: G-d ... ; besides Kobee needed a little humble pie-- i guess he knows who Jeremy is nowwww.... . luv Jeremiah !
yeah they should bring back d'antoni, jeremy lin and get rid off melo!!!
I miss D'Antoni...

Go Jeremy...We love you so much...
Linsanity lives on.
I really like his response to: 10:38 almost sounds like he didn't know what happen with the kobe thing
a super star emerges in new york
He hit it on the nail when he talked about playing like that and nobody knowing him. Jeremy Lin just never got the chance to be a leader. When he did Linsanity. 🤷♂️
and.............. Melo destroyed all of this
10:37-10:50 That reporter was expecting some cocky answer, and that humbleness just stunned him into silence.
Jeremy's answer to the last question is throwing a subtle shade to Melo lol
I liked Lin, the Knicks should’ve kept Lin. They blamed it on salary cap but they could afford to keep him because of the revenue he was bringing and new ventures. Knicks wasn’t going to make money off Felton idk why they thought he would’ve been a better alternative.
D'Antoni : with Jeremy Lin , it's a love fest ...lol
LIN ^_^ 超喜歡你~
"his personality rubs off on everybody"
LIN match being a KNICK better than a WARRIOR!......NYC show more love for LIN than Oakland!
I pick Lin over melo. All day! Hahah. Sorry it’s just the truth.
If Jeremy woulda said aye kObe you know who I am now. Or something like that the crowd was waiting for that and would’ve fired them up. And woulda been a even bigger L for Kobe pretending he didn’t know him and one of the most iconic moments in nba history

Asian player never credit himself, he always his teammate..but black folks always showing himself he the best ..
Our team. Not my team.
#2020 #Linsanity on a #NBA comeback!!!
dude he was born here. stop assuming every asian can't speak english properly
Lin was very close to the final piece for that team. How could Melo mash that team and coach?
Come back to couch Lin with Lakers!
Melo you ruined a mans career so karma my guy
My dream for JLIN is to be a LAKER player. But if ever that happens maybe KOBE is already retired.
But for now I will continue to support JLIN as a ROCKET player. I also would like to continue my support to the whole ROCKETS team !
Joy Hsu he became a laker player but Byron Scott ruined your dreams -.-
I wonder what would have happened if the Knicks traded melo to a star that is not an egoist and ball hogger who just wants to play team-ball.
Yes, if only that happened. Melo was the instigator for making D'Antoni resign. That's really messed up, when you mess around with other people's lives & careers instead of your own.

Who's melo???
it was great till the return of melo.
Linsanity reminds me of drose’s injury 😕
i think jeremy should change his jersey number to 17, maybe it's his lucky number
Lin should have stain NY. But they should have traded Anthony.
it turned out Knicks was worse with Melo
Lin is really cute!! :-))
linsanity is joe louis.....more to come! NEXT GENERATION...INDBOUND!
@MrDialtone888
look at 1:00 !!!
Does Kobe know who Jeremy Lin is now? I think Kobe is having nightmares since then waking up with sweat over his forehead screaming Jeremy Lins name! xD
Houston will kick New Yorks ass 2013 total blow out
Jeremy Lin is the asian george floyd of NBA
mvp ? WTF !!!
LIN is Beginner !!!
I probably have to run him. Oh man.
fuck yeah thats what asian is.....
I always defend melo and I always will, but I won’t forget what he did to Lin
