[quote]Don’t try to explain it, dissect it. We’re just in the middle of it and enjoy it. Especially if you are a Knick fan… It’s a great American story. A great American story.

[quote]Yes! I have a raging case of Linsanity. I have been declared legally Linsane. My symptoms.. linsomnia, restless linsyndrome and lintestinal blockage!

[quote]I’ve never seen the Garden like that. Everyone keeps telling me, ‘Oh, this is what it was like in the ’90s,’ … but to actually be there and be part of it was a great feeling.
[/quote]
[quote]It’s indescribable. It’s something I’ve never seen growing up in this game. He’s a great kid. It has to inspire you.
[/quote]
[quote]I know who he is, but I don’t really know what’s going on too much with him. I don’t even know what he’s done. Like, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I’ll take a look at it tonight though. …. Jesus Christ. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

[quote]What I see from Jeremy and what I hear in his interviews is he appreciates everything. He pursues his dream. His attitude is so peaceful, but there is strength to him. It is not a violent strength like fire or something aggressive. It is like the ocean, very peaceful, very quiet when you look at it. But you can never underestimate the power that is in there.

[quote](Lin’s) not a fluke. Just the confidence he plays with, the pace, the understanding of the game. You can tell when a guy isn’t really that skilled but is just having a good stretch. This guy is skilled
[/quote]
[quote]He was five or six days from being cut and now he is a catalyst for a team that’s playing as good as any in the NBA … You can’t ask any more of a kid coming into this situation.
[/quote]
[quote]I knew him before he was Linmania. He’s still the same humble guy. The guy has not changed a bit, which is real special for a young man
[/quote]
[quote]“His basketball IQ, his ability to know what play to run, what pass to make, how to run the pick-and-roll or a stutter-step to hold the defense, that’s stuff you can’t teach. He’s also got that swagger and that confidence that you need to be successful on the basketball court.”

[quote]We should have kept [Lin]. Did not know he was this good. Anyone who says they knew misleading U.
[/quote]
[quote]Lin is the real deal. He’s the true point guard the Knicks haven’t had in years. He’s the guy the Knicks have needed all along
[/quote]
[quote]He does what needs to be done. If they need scoring, he provides that. He’s very unselfish, once he gets inside he’s looking to pass the ball. but when there’s an opportunity to let him score he’s doing that as well. He’s just unflappable. It’s amazing that a guy has no experience, coing into the NBA been cut by 3 or 4 teams that he can fnd his niche seemingly overnight. and how he’s rejuvenated this franchise

[quote]Linsanity. Wow. What a run. You look at the Giants, you look at Linsanity and there’s been so many great things happening in New York. We kind of feel like we want to jump in the party. The great thing about Linsanity is that, it kind of reminds you of how fun the game should be. For some of us that have been playing for a long time, it’s just the one second you take the game for granted, it makes you realize how much fun the game is.
