PLAYERS: Jeremy Lin
TEAMS: New York Knicks

Via Sportress of Blogitude:

One minute you’re on top of the world, the next minute peel-and-stick tattoos bearing your jersey number are marked 50% off at the Duane Reade convenience store in Times Square. What a fickle mistress fame can be. Particularly in New York. Now hipsters in New York will only purchase Jeremy Lin’s New York Knicks jersey for the irony of it all.

It was a good run, Jeremy Lin. Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted.

  • Its not Lins fault, Carmello Anthony is such a ball hog it kills the team ball that Lin and the Knicks were playing-all these losses have happened since Anthony came back. NY should look to trade him-ALOT of guys could score as much as him if they had the conscience to shoot that much.
  • LOL that is why EVERY GAME Lin shoots more then Melo.
  • Oh and he also is a TO king
  • Lin didn't have enough time to get comfortable with the ball. Melo doesn't play defense except when he WANTS to. He makes entirely too much $ to be a 1 dimensional player, which is essentially what he is. Honestly, Melo would be better suited to come off the bench and torch other teams for 15 - 20 points a game and give Amare, Lin & Co. an opportunity to win games through much more selfless play.
  • The problem with Jeremy Lin is that he is not strong enough to play the number of minutes that the Knicks have been playing him. With his aggressive style, he can't play more than 30 minutes a game and be effective.....especially this season where the schedule is condensed. Maybe next year he will grow into a first rate starting point guard. The best thing for him this year is the emergence of Baron Davis to spell him.
  • This season has had negative effects on nearly everyone. Injuries abound. They were foolish to put 66 games in. I think 60 or even 50 would have been more appropriate. Furthermore, all of the players under a full season contract are being paid for an 82 game schedule this season.
  • I wonder if his brothers futon is still available. Lightning in a bottle!
  • i dont think ANYBODY wants anthony,or at least they shouldnt!! he should remember iverson,who thought he was the best thing since sliced bread!! how'd that work out for him!!
  • Hoops suck on every level. It is a dull and boring sport no matter who is playing. I will never understand the appeal for this sleeper sport. A bunch of mutants who sound like squeaking mice who score 50 times a game??? Boring!! Hate it. A complete waste of time and money.
  • Then go back to your lacrosse games, where the players have tea parties and group hug sessions after the games.

New York Knicks: Now That Linsanity Is Over…

After hopes were running high for the New York Knicks heading into the All-Star break, they have since been shot down after starting the second half of the shortened season 1-5. Moreover, Jeremy Lin’s gaudy numbers have since been brought down to a more realistic, yet respectable 16.8 ppg and 8.1 apg. The biggest issue concerning the Knicks however is not their point guard. It’s...

Lin says he owes D'Antoni "a lot" for starting Linsanity

No one was more stunned about New York Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni's resignation than the man at the center of all of the Linsanity— Jeremy Lin, himself.

Jeremy Lin Is Getting An Endorsement Deal

Jeremy Lin makes nice block on Derrick Rose's layup attempt (Video)

In Monday night's NBA game from Chicago, Bulls guard Derrick Rose thought he had an easy layup after he dribbled past New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin. However, Lin makes a real nice defensive play with a block from behind, showing that he hasn't completely fallen off the face of the earth. However, Rose got the last laugh as the top scorer in the game with 32 points...

March meltdown puts playoffs at risk for Knicks

The Knicks' fantastic February is forgotten, replaced by a March meltdown. They are back to playing the way they were in January, before Jeremy Lin's emergence. New York has lost six in a row for the second time this season and is in danger of missing the playoffs. Even if they regroup and make the postseason, history indicates they won't be a threat to advance. According...

Soft Knicks not meshing well

This is never going to work. The parts don't add up, don't fit together. Two superstars, a great rebounder and a bunch of Linsanity. That's what the New York Knicks should be. Instead, they are two whiners with huge egos, a super-soft coach, and a young point guard, Jeremy Lin, who is confused and hopeless in a toxic environment. The Chicago Bulls, missing three key...

Stephon rips blasts Mike D’Antoni, says Jeremy Lin is ‘covered by blood of Christ’

With the news surfacing yesterday that Mike D’Antoni had resigned as head coach of the Knicks, a certain self-conscious someone that once played under New York’s former coach went on a tweeting spree.

Linsanity is crashing back to earth as the Knicks implode

The Knicks finally won a game Wednesday night, blasting the hapless Blazers by 40+ at MSG.  That win halted a six game losing streak that ultimately ended up in coach Mike D'Antoni resigning, Carmelo Anthony becoming the scorn of New York, the Knicks back outside the Top 8 in the Eastern Conference, and Jeremy Lin merchandise being slashed like Halloween costumes in November...

Will Knicks Coach Mike D’Antoni Survive The Rest Of The Season?

Had Monday night been the last games played during the regular season in the Association, the New York Knicks would not be heading to the Playoffs after losing their sixth straight contest to the Chicago Bulls by a final tally of 104-99. The Knicks’ loss combined with the third win in a row for the Milwaukee Bucks, have Milwaukee as the eighth seed with New York on the outside...

Day 79 of 124: You’ve Just Been Bismacked

Line of the Night: Brandon Jennings (3.09) scored 34 points, hitting 6 threes, with 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks in a 105-99 win over the Nets. Jennings is still too inconsistent to be put in the class of elite PGs, but the 22 year-old has taken a big step forward this season, which is all you can ask for from a young PG. There is an outside chance that he might be traded along...
