The Knicks broke Jeremy Lin’s heart
In a recent interview with the New York Post, Jeremy Lin described how he felt in the summer of 2012 when he signed with the Houston Rockets after the Knicks decided against matching the Rockets’ 3-year, $25 million contract offer:
“I was really, really sad. I was sad the way everything went down, ’cause nothing happened the way I thought it was going to I had wished that they had offered me a contract just in the beginning, and that didn’t even happen. And then, when I found out that they weren’t gonna match, I was even more sad, ’cause honestly, I wanted to finish my career there…. I wanted to play for those fans who rallied behind that city, that came behind us and gave me that experience. I felt like I owed it to them.”
Linsanity – Everyone remembers what was one of the most memorable stories in NBA history. NBA’s Cinderella story! Lin has come a long way, from playing in the D-League to becoming a great player. I can’t wait for him to show everyone how great he still is…
