- The Sacramento Kings take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Jeremy Lin scores a career high of 13 assists in the game to lead the Knicks to their 7th consecutive win.
The Linsanity era never gets old. I can't stop watching these videos of those games 3 years later. The NBA needed this. Fans and the world needed this. The electricity. The unity. The brilliance of a dream, and a role model to make the diamonds of hope sparkle. I really miss this. Nothing like it, ever.

MrCrossIsBoss thats it!
welp time is now charlotte hornets
I agree with U
and then melo came back and the ballhog ended linsanity...
That team never had as much fun as they did during Linsanity
until Melo joined...
and then Melo and Woodson came back on the floor and it was gone
The Sprewell, Houston and LJ era was sick.
I got you. I was saying the quality of team basketball they were playing they were enjoying what they had. And then Mello came back.
Lin + Chandler + Fields + Jeffries + Novak = perfect basketball
Nice point.. :)
+Chloe Price so is pickachu charmander bulba squirtle
+Chloe Price ikr, if aint broke. don't fix it!
I doubt even Jordan+Piper+Rodman and his team can take them on! They were effing magic!
now that's a reach
he made his teammates look like an all-star
You're so right
He's a real Floor General
No cap he made fields look nice af
@Kwok Wai Lai Melo tried to make himself look like a star..but he failed
derrick rose and Novak looked like Klat Thompson
We must remember that, because of Lin, the Knicks made it to the playoffs in 2012 yet some of the Knicks responded with negative comments about him when discussing whether or not his "poison pill" contract should have been matched. Melo said the contract was ridiculous, suggesting the Knicks should not try to match it; Chandler said Lin couldn't run the offense properly; JR Smith said that Felton was more unselfish than Lin. Lin, on the other hand, encouraged Knick fans to continue to support them after he left because "they are some really good guys"; repeatedly reminded fans that the other members of his team should be praised as well because he did not win games alone and that he really wanted to come back to New York because of the Knick fans. (See quote below.)
"I love the New York fans to death," Lin said. "That's the biggest reason why I wanted to return to New York. The way they embraced me, the way they supported us this past season, was better than anything I've ever seen or experienced. I'll go to my grave saying that. What New York did for me was unbelievable. I wanted to play in front of those fans for the rest of my career." - Jeremy Lin
As a Knick fan, I thank you, Jeremy, for for the wonderful memories in New York. I will continue to support you no matter what team you play for. (Hopefully, the Rockets will let you go to play for a team who really wants an elite point guard.)
Ironically, Felix, the Knicks are considering trying to get Lin back (as part of a package for 7-foot Houston Rockets center, Omer Asik) given that Felton's performance, most likely due to injuries, has fallen off as of late.
I am still a Knicks fan but always hope that Jeremy Lin scores at least 30 points against them -- just to prove a point.
btw what is poison pill??
really want to know
The Knicks had the right to match another team's offer then keep Lin. When the other team intentionally makes an offer that the Knicks won't match because it is too high, that extra high offer is considered a "poison pill" because it kills the deal.
thank you..very well said! exactly mine feelings too...it was the best time as a knicks fan, he led us to the playoffs, guys like jeffries, fields or walker started to play ball. It was not just jeremy who played great, it was the whole team.. and we had fans everywhere! Every away game there were some Linsanity fans cheering for him because he electrified the league.
Like you've said it, I really hope he gets to a team which needs a pg, because at Houston he cant or better said he must not show what he really can.
Where is NY in the playoffs now? lol
Tyson Chandler was a happy big man during Linsanity!
Any bigman on the receiving end of Lin's slick passes would be happy. So sad that linsanity has to end so quickly.
him and Amere were happy..
StraightButGay and now they are both gone and nobodies
@@miekgg dude YOU are a nobody in any corner of the world somebody will pay this guys a beer
Yea but then when carmelo happened it all changed smh
I'd rather watch these replays than go to a Knicks game this season, can't pay me enough to sit through it.
They're OK now
Randle and Brunson are killing it for NY
@@hondomclean6759 bro had to wait 9 years to reply 💀💀
@@thunderpenguin9559 oh nah bruh hahaha
Watching this in 2022 , man it never gets old honestly , it’s just amazing, just incredible. THE “LINSANITY” era
Everyone is involved in Lin's game. Literally, Fields, Jeffries, Novak, Walker, Chandler, Stoudamire, EVERYONE is involved!!!!
Until Melo showed up
Melo is a cursed
10 years later and I am still here watching Jeremy Lin 🙂
Watching this in 2020. This Linsanity never gets old. So Lin-tertaining
Linning streak continues😁😁
I'll never get tired of watching Linsanity! The guy was a great player, great PG, very smooth with the ball, always making his teammates better. This will never get old.
yeah!! same here so inspiring
He's so humble. I like that ^^
been watching the series, and I noticed something. a lot of the time, if a player or the team is having success with something, they tend to repeat it. I see with this team overall, and for sure lin is driving this, where they have a tendency to do something different after a really good play. lin drives in and does his magic, next play he's in the corner while other team look at him, while rest of knicks are making another play. and he keeps doing this, and it's overwhelming the other team at points. they just kept supporteing each other and it made some real magic happen. all success is based on cooperation. I think this was a rare moment, lin was at center, but rest of team was also just tuned in and letting it happen. rare and beautiful.
his games are so fun to watch!!!!!! :D
it makes basketball look so much more fun that it already it is!!!!
The knicks were better without Carmelo. They had way more energy and pace, and their defense was good. But most of all they played happy.
So sad how much more obvious it all was looking back now
Indeed
8:40 Carmelo's mad they winning without him. Lol
Prodigious whiz-bang that's exactly what i thought when i saw melo's face
I think melo came back after this game and Linsanity was over.
He couldn't even hide his jeolousy if he wanted to, it's so obvious.
you vs the guy the knicks told you not to worry about
Jealous Melo destroy the linsanity chemistry
Mark Elyep well said.
Truth!
wouldnt be surprised if he sabotaged on purpose
Instead of re-signing Lin who made scrubs like Landry Fields look like 6th man contenders and Chandler look 5 years younger, the Knicks trade for Bargnani and throw money at the trainwreck JR Smith. Dolan you are a genius.
Literally worst team in the league right now. They reap what they sow.
David Yang 2017 update: Dolan. Still a genius.
gorobot that's because even after Jeremy lin tore it up these guys can't believe that an Asian American is actually good
He was the best player in the NBA for 2 weeks, unfortunately he never played anywhere near this level again
@@DanielSong39 he did... it's that his playing time is never consistence given by the coaching staff, he was doing great on the Hornets and the Hawks, also on the Rockets when Harden was injured.. he is the kind of PG that needs the ball
I get goose bumps watching how well the Knicks played like a team at a time when the team needed a PG to lead. This era and when the 8th seed Knicks made it to the finals are moments I can’t help but watch over and over.
What a refreshing display of team basketball this was. So rare in the NBA. Coach and point guard thinking the same way.
You can't not love the way these guys play. They are putting each other in The Zone. They remind me a lot of Denver's current squad who just won a championship thanks to their excellent teamwork
@@l3ftie578 - And players work harder to get open when they know they have a chance of getting a pass.
Jeremy put on a veritable NBA passing masterclass in this game!
Almost ten years now, I’m still watching again and again. A real pity Lin does not have a NBA offering.
watching this in end of the 2020. Linsanity never gets old
for some reason I just wanted to watch these videos again in 2022
the story of Linsanity never gets old
This is the kind of player that every team need
10 years later and watching all this is still jaw dropping...
Who’s still watching this in 2024? I am! Linsanity is amazing.
It never gets old. It is honestly one of the best stories in sports.
He was famous over the world in Feb 2012, i knew him although i am a Malaysian, from south east asia. A legend in Feb 2012
So sweet to see Lin help his team like this in front of the Sac's coach, Smart, who wouldn't give Lin any court time when he was at GSW with Smart as coach.
Coaches who ignored Lin: Keith Smart, McHale, Byron Scott-gone! Coaches who embraced Lin: Mike D’Antoni, Kenny Atkinson-secure in their jobs!
Coincidence? I think not!
I'm impressed by his team first mentality as he prioritizes finding the open man that has the best chance of scoring. He had more assists than the entire opposing team. That's just ridiculous. On top of that he makes every one around him look like a superstar. Loved the alley-oop plays he set up. A true team player will do whatever it takes for the team to win, including benching. Perhaps if Melo would have accepted a diminished role until the end of the season and allow Linsanity to continue, who knows, maybe he could've gotten a championship ring.
And now he does have a ring!!
FlyingWithKB Melo doesn’t though lmao.
never get tired of re-watching ...this is what real teamwork is all about
@8:38 look at Melo staring at Lin with contempt😂 I think he had serious hate for him... it's all in the eyes man😂
Edwin Betancourt well said.
its 2017and I never get tired of Linsanity run
11 years later holy crap. I was 11 years old inspired by this man
Carmelo must have been so jealous hearing fans chant "MVP" lololol
Zeanu .Kalalo it is
every time lin passes the ball the receiver becomes wide open
Makes it seems like it was all staged
@@Cordarius-m2khonestly it seemed that they almost defended lin to much, not saying he’s not good but it looks like they overcommitted on defense for lin, leaving other players open
Lol... Jeremy Lin assists: 13
Sacramento Kings assists: 12
Richard Tang Lol. That had me cracking up as well. Pretty much shows what an good player he is.
@@flowersmile123 now where is he?
@@therock-cs7sp with a ring :)
@@stephenjeff21 i have my ring too. And i uses it to finger.
@@therock-cs7sp now where is he? He’s sitting pretty, filthy rich from being a stud basketball player that’s where.
Quite apart from how good Jeremy's playing ability is, is how amazingly humble he is. Look at 0.12. At the height of Linsanity, at a point when everthing was going for him, the mand makes it a point to go over to the opponents side to acknowledge and give the man who cut him at his previous team a hug. I am not sure if sure i could do it with somebody who had written me off. Way to go Jeremy.
Still an amazing experience in 2023!
Linsanity was such a great thing for the Asian community. I will never forget it.
Classic example of how stats aren't everything, 10 points and 13 assists are good numbers but they don't fully illustrate how brilliant Lin was in this game. You can visibly see how everyone on the floor feed off his energy and make spectacular plays of their own.
that's what I love so much about the pg position. If I'm having an off shooting night or I'm getting pressed hard by the defense I can focus on surveying the entire court and both teams to help my teammates, and that creates a positive feedback loop with them. The more they score, the less attention / aggression is pointed at me and then I can do my own work again. The more you pass the more you get it back too, that's another positive feedback loop. I like the amount of control the position allows you to take over the pace and plan of the game.
Lin isn't talented; just a motivator? Oh help me! The boy is strong, courageous, fearless and oh yeah, talented/gifted. Anyway, can you do what he can do? Go-Lin-Go!!
Michelle Crawford He is definitely talented with his agility, dexterity, speed, slick and crafty passes. He's so much fun to watch.
Lin needs to come back into the NBA again. We missed those days when he was with the Knicks.
Hard worker who will only get better. Welcome to the Lakers.
I didn't watch Nba that time yet and I even know about Jeremy lin. It was till a few days back where my friends told me to srsly look back to the linsanity era and see how good he had played. I don't understand why Dolan was so obsessed with melo. Was he blind that time? He had build a perfect team with chemistry without melo. The results are satisfying and why the hell he has to ruin that.
the skin color
@@tedchupig nah the race hes asian and im asian too
Carmelo was jealous of his success and wanted him out
Dont like asians probably and its melo or him..
9:08 the ballhog is jealous
Lin is so awesome. I saw his testimony in HOng Kong today, and he really felt God helping him in all those games.
The greatest moments in NBA history #Linsanity
Bruh LINSANITY. Absolutely amazing. 2023 and feels like yesterday
Man, watching Linsanity really inspires me to push myself to become a better basketball player, such an electrical and fantastic story even almost a decade later.
Whenever I’m having a bad day. I just watch Linsanity videos
Lin yo face, Every day I'm hust Lin, All I do is Lin Lin Lin. Awesome linsanity signs.
beautiful memories, thank you, Jeremy Lin!
Reliving Linsanity is one thing that gets my mood back up in year 2020.
Unreal. Basketball at its best
that football carry he does with the ball during his 2 steps is a key move for any smaller guard to avoid losing the ball
The Linsanity stretch was the last time the Knicks crowd are excited to come on their home games.
Look at this team mann, so inspiring.. If only....
So dumb letting him go... They should have kept d'Antoni and just tried to ride out the good feels. Now look at what the Knicks are, the worst team in the league. Thanks Dolan.
+Leslie Ndemanu lakers
12 years and still coming back every now and then to relive the glory days of the knicks
I'm here in 2021.
Perfect picture at the end- Jeremy sitting next to Melo! One is PG that makes teammates better and the other just wants his stats! Management chose the fake glitter, so we lost the gold! Let’s all thank Leon Rose for bringing the magic back with Jalen!
I hope Lin goes to Spurs at some point while Duncan, Parker, Ginobili et al are still playing. He can learn loads and benefit a lot from a system like that. Nevertheless, playing on the Lakers with Steve Nash is bound to be a good learning experience.
.
For two weeks Jeremy Lin was the best player in the NBA.
The final game of his magical run.
The Nicks could've had a dynasty. The energy in this era was electric. I really miss it.
Been rewatching these highlights and it's unreal that Car-ME-lo and Knicks management just dogged this squad, trading some of them away for peanuts. They were playing some beautiful ball together. Making it look so simple and easy and fun. Proving that good teamwork can outshine so many of the ballhogging, self-aggrandizing "All-Stars" out there. The only time the Knicks were fun to watch since the Ewing era. Bunch of morons. I hope Lin gets a good complementary squad around him in NJ for the next couple of years. Wish I knew where Fields and Novak disappeared to.
It's like they don't enjoy winning. xD
these Knicks rosters looks having fun on reading each moves = great chemistry plays
Im no im way late to the party but he's the only player ever played that makes the other teams fan happy even after their teams loss
awww! those amazing alley oops...
I was at this game paid like $600 for two tickets. Knew it wouldnt last and had to feel it. People selling linsanity tshirts outside MSG like a taylor swift concert. Wild times
the nba needed someone like JLin...really hope he stays at that high level with the rockets too
Lin really made the NYK an allstar team, a contenders so sad melo doesn't want him. But if it was me i will choose Lin over Melo all day.
That whole team was fantastic during linsanity except Carmelo.....everyone was happy, playing well together. I had an opportunity to watch a game during linsanity and still by far one of the best game I've seen my life..
The last time I was excited as a Knicks fan
Jeremy Lin made it look so easy to be great. 👍
Watching the Knicks with J. Lin as point is enjoyable basketball. Such a shame he got bullied out of the league.
I love watching these Linsanity videos more than any Knicks games ever since. Even the best ball hog Melo season
It's fun to watch Jeremy play the game. He makes it looks so easy.
He makes His team mate better.
真的好愛林書豪❤
I seriously dont remember when the Knicks blew any team out before Ewing days untill Lin did this run. The basketball was just going to open man in good position.
This looks like the current Golden State
Curry/Lin being the star
Everyone getting shots in
Same aura in the arena
+Jordan Kan you are high out of your mind and don't know jack shit about basketball if you think this looks like the current Warriors.
+gabe228 he means the excitement & hype surrounding Lin at the time is almost the same as with Curry this year
What is most similar is that the way Lin play makes his teammates smile a lot like Curry & associates.
+gabe228 shut ya bitch ass up
nah it looks totally like the 2005 SUNS with Nash
Still amazed in 2023
Never heard this Knicks crowd this loud again.
This is the kind of game that's been missing in the playoffs. TEAM playing!
In hindsight, this team was good! I mean look at how they play pick and roll with Amare and Chandler! It's just like Nash and Amare back in Phoenix! Plus, D'Antoni was there!
Go to Spurs Jeremy, you'll be a great sixth man for us :D (go replace Ginobili once he's said and done, also I'm excited at what wonders Popovich could do with you)
well he excels at pick and rolls
He's not a sixth man!!!
Team ball :))
a superstar caliber no doubt coming soon in brooklyn
Hell no Jeremy would be the 6 th scoring option
I'm Still watching Linsanity Basketball show after 11 years. 😉❤️🔥🎉🍻✌️💪
Still in Good Memory. 💖❤️🔥
Hope he can back to NBA. 🤗🙏
Such a fluid player...
It was like watching my 2000s Suns again.
Simple but effective read and reacts by Jeremy Lin
Lol I saw Hassan Whiteside in that Kings team, I guess now the Knicks and Kings both regretted about giving up their star players
i love how he can literally dribble circles around the bigs in the paint! reminds me of steve nash
mr. jeremy "smoooooth" lin... with love from mexico!
Watching this on my birthday, February 19, 7 years later. :D
Jeremy Lin doing his best Jason Williams impression
I rewind Linsanity every year
This is like the lob city knicks with chandler and fields. Good old days
Being a PG you are mainly the person who’s supposed to make plays and gets assists. When you can do that, you will make your whole team look like all stars.
The execution of holly hoop with chandler was a beauty.
