Actually Linsanity ended when Carmelo Anthony returned from injury. However, any chance of Linsanity returning when out the door when New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni resigned today.
The Knicks blew out the Portland Trail Blazers as Jeremy Lin had 6 points, 6 assists, and 6 turnovers in 24 minutes of play. What might raise eyebrows is that Baron Davis had 10 assists in 18 minutes of action. The scary thing for Jeremy Lin fans is that the new interim coach (Mike Woodson) may not favor Jeremy Lin as much as D'Antoni.
What happens next to Jeremy Lin remains to be seen. However, as I wrote on a message board yesterday, Jeremy Lin has learned more about the BUSINESS of NBA in the past few months (being waived by the Warriors, Rockets and now the coach quits). Also, big money players like Carmelo hold a lot of sway over how basketball should be played than just the coach.
Best wishes to Jeremy Lin as he navigates another challenge in his career. I do have confidence he will be fine.
