That team never had as much fun as they did during Linsanity

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.

Lin + Chandler + Fields + Jeffries + Novak = perfect basketball

he made his teammates look like an all-star

Everyone is involved in Lin's game. Literally, Fields, Jeffries, Novak, Walker, Chandler, Stoudamire, EVERYONE is involved!!!!

Tyson Chandler was a happy big man during Linsanity!

I'd rather watch these replays than go to a Knicks game this season, can't pay me enough to sit through it.

10 years later and I am still here watching Jeremy Lin 🙂

Watching this in 2020. This Linsanity never gets old. So Lin-tertaining

Jealous Melo destroy the linsanity chemistry

Watching this in 2022 , man it never gets old honestly , it’s just amazing, just incredible. THE “LINSANITY” era

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.)

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.

8:40 Carmelo's mad they winning without him. Lol

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.

He's so humble. I like that ^^

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.

What a refreshing display of team basketball this was. So rare in the NBA. Coach and point guard thinking the same way.

his games are so fun to watch!!!!!! :D

every time lin passes the ball the receiver becomes wide open

@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😂

Jeremy put on a veritable NBA passing masterclass in this game!

Lol... Jeremy Lin assists: 13 Sacramento Kings assists: 12

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.

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.

Carmelo must have been so jealous hearing fans chant "MVP" lololol

This is the kind of player that every team need

Almost ten years now, I’m still watching again and again. A real pity Lin does not have a NBA offering.

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!

Linsanity was such a great thing for the Asian community. I will never forget it.

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.

9:08 the ballhog is jealous

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!!

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.

11 years later holy crap. I was 11 years old inspired by this man

10 years later and watching all this is still jaw dropping...

for some reason I just wanted to watch these videos again in 2022 the story of Linsanity never gets old

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

watching this in end of the 2020. Linsanity never gets old

Still an amazing experience in 2023!

Lin needs to come back into the NBA again. We missed those days when he was with the Knicks.

its 2017and I never get tired of Linsanity run

Hard worker who will only get better. Welcome to the Lakers.

Whenever I’m having a bad day. I just watch Linsanity videos

The greatest moments in NBA history #Linsanity

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.

Lin yo face, Every day I'm hust Lin, All I do is Lin Lin Lin. Awesome linsanity signs.

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.

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.

The Linsanity stretch was the last time the Knicks crowd are excited to come on their home games.

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.

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.

For two weeks Jeremy Lin was the best player in the NBA. The final game of his magical run.

Lin is so awesome. I saw his testimony in HOng Kong today, and he really felt God helping him in all those games.

Reliving Linsanity is one thing that gets my mood back up in year 2020.

Who’s still watching this in 2024? I am! Linsanity is amazing.

beautiful memories, thank you, Jeremy Lin!

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.

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.

awww! those amazing alley oops...

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.

The Nicks could've had a dynasty. The energy in this era was electric. I really miss it.

This looks like the current Golden State Curry/Lin being the star Everyone getting shots in Same aura in the arena

Never heard this Knicks crowd this loud again.

12 years and still coming back every now and then to relive the glory days of the knicks

5:23 when jeremy lin runs the offense its just so clean

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.

Look at this team mann, so inspiring.. If only....

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..

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

these Knicks rosters looks having fun on reading each moves = great chemistry plays

Lol I saw Hassan Whiteside in that Kings team, I guess now the Knicks and Kings both regretted about giving up their star players

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

真的好愛林書豪❤

the nba needed someone like JLin...really hope he stays at that high level with the rockets too

The last time I was excited as a Knicks fan

Such a fluid player...

Simple but effective read and reacts by Jeremy Lin

He made the Kings look like the Washington Generals.

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)

It was like watching my 2000s Suns again.

Unreal. Basketball at its best

this team really underachieved looking back at them now

Man, Lin-Fields 2012 vs Curry-Thompson would've been a great game.

Damn what a happy team that was shat on by Carmelo..

Linsanity II countinue in Brooklyn 2016

Lin + Chandler + Fields + Jeffries + Novak = perfect basketball = PERFECT STORM $$$

I love watching these Linsanity videos more than any Knicks games ever since. Even the best ball hog Melo season

Crazy how the kings had Whiteside Isiah Thomas and Cousins. If cousins could play pf that would be one of the better big threes in basketball

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.

This is the kind of game that's been missing in the playoffs. TEAM playing!

They should have kept Lin and this group they were in sync. They should have traded Carmelo and his ego long time. Linsanity still lives on in our mind and in our hearts ❤️. 🤔👍🤓

This is like the lob city knicks with chandler and fields. Good old days

It's fun to watch Jeremy play the game. He makes it looks so easy.

This was like the Miami Heat of today playing team ball with undrafted players at a very high level

Man, the garden was electric. They should've traded Melo and gotten another all-star wing guy or defender that was team first. They had Amare and Tyson - they just needed one more all-star that could develop with their young core. They would have been fun to watch for years. And imagine the marketing dollars that would come in. It would be the story for a couple of years.

Jeremy Lin doing his best Jason Williams impression

I know the era has become more 3 pointers nowadays in the year of 2023 with Steph Curry, but I personally prefer to watch this type of old school PG to C pass game like how Jeremy Lin did. It is so entertaining to watch. Lin plays exactly how I like to play.
