TheStar.com: Considering there were 17 TV cameras and about 75 media members packed into the Air Canada Centre press room the first time Jeremy Lin and the Knicks came to town this season, facing only five or six cameras and about 30 media types must have felt like a day off.
And the Knicks did little to exacerbate the situation, too; leaving Lin to do his chatting in the team’s locker room while coach Mike Woodson was chatting in the hall, a nice piece of bait and switch that gave Lin almost a morning off.
But it’s never been about what he says as much as it’s been about what he does and what he’s doing now on the court mirrors the relative calm that’s enveloped the Knicks in the last little while.

[quote]Yeah yeah, we know, Linsanity is dead and Carmelo is the only Knicks player who exists anymore and you can buy Lin face stickers for pennies on the dollar now. But don’t you want to learn how to do that funky handshake that the two most prestigious Knick scholars perform before every game?[/quote]
The nation’s best-known basketball fan — President Obama — says he heard about Jeremy Lin “way back when.”

“I knew about Jeremy before you did, or everybody else did,” Obama told Bill Simmons, the sports columnist and founded of the ESPN-affiliated website Grantland.com
“And so way back when, Arne and I were playing and he said, ‘I’m telling you, we’ve got this terrific guard named Jeremy Lin at Harvard,’” Obama said. “And then one of my best friends — his son is a freshman at Harvard — and so when he went for a recruiting trip he saw Lin in action.”
