2012 "Linsanity" Appreciation Thread

[HomieWeMajor]

This was a great game from Lin though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaVa6NHwUUg

[Hey Yo]

With NYK, Lin dropped 38 on "all NBA Defense Kobe" and the Lakers.

Melo didn't play and LA still couldn't stop Lin.

It was a fun time, I have to admit. But it came to an end when Melo came back, what a surprise.

It wasn't D'Antoni "system" as much as the power of confidence and having a coach's trust.

Those Linsanity Alley Oops

[KungFuJoe]

One of the best moments in basketball for me outside of laker championships.

I actually gave up on the NBA. Didn't watch for a few years. Then Linsanity happen and I'm a fan all over again.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

As someone with no affiliation with the Knicks or Jeremy Lin, that was one of my favorite extended moments in NBA history. After his first start blowup, it was a gift that kept on giving. I didn't have TV access to all of his games so I'd follow through updates & gamecasts if nothing else.

It was crazy to be watching one NBA game, only to get an update that Lin was at it again, dropping 23 & 10. Or putting up a 38 spot. Then he crossed John Wall and exploded for a dunk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdFXOjGaNxc) or he was leading comebacks on ABC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcKZhdWH3tE). And of course, that Raptors game-winner exploded the universe.

Just incredible to watch and experience as a basketball fan.

About a month or two earlier was the Tebow stuff. Pretty crazy span for shit like that.

If only knicks had better coaching.. great talent.. just need someone to pull it together

[Draz]

I'll never forget it. Was great and was actually very excited than usual to see more knicks games at that time. He's a fool.

[Dresta]

Was funny how badly Miami completely demolished the whole Linsanity thing in one game
