Jeremy Lin’s magical, memorable run last season led to more attention and money than anyone could have imagined, and may have caused some resentment among his old
Knicks teammates. Even some who didn’t play with him have grown tired of hearing about Lin.
Raymond Felton, who replaced Lin after the Knicks opted not to match the Rockets’ three-year, $25.1-million offer, thinks it’s ridiculous to compare the two of them.
But that point-guard matchup will be front and center Friday night when the Knicks play the Rockets.
“I’ve been in this league eight years,” Felton said. “He’s been in this league half of a year, coming into a year now. I definitely can’t see how nobody can compare me
and him together. I’ve been in this league way longer, got much more of a body of work.”
