His old fans booed him. His old friend clobbered him. Otherwise, it was Linsanity all over again at Madison Square Garden.
Cheer him, boo him, whatever -- The bottom line is that Jeremy Lin has been a non-factor since leaving New York.
Linsanity was a short, but spectacular time in Knicks' history. Even though he's gone, the New York Knicks' locker room is filled with Lin admirers.

It's goofy, tone-deaf and weird. In other words, a total airball.
All those comparisons to John Starks seemed premature, but the 2012-13 J.R. Smith is finally deserving of being compared to one of the most popular Knicks of all-time.
Jeremy Lin doesn't know if he'll ever perform as well as he did during his charmed February with the New York Knicks last season. For now he's content to be a key contributor on his new team.
"I went into an absolute shell for a few months in New York," Lin said. "I went through a phase when I didn't want to talk to anybody. I didn't want to talk to my friends. I didn't want to give anybody close to me a chance to mess up our relationship."

The NBA certainly knows how to schedule drama.
Now that he's settled in as a Houston Rocket, former Knick Jeremy Lin is taking some time to reflect on what ensued in the past year of his life.
Talk about Lin-gering over a decision.
After a weekend where both the Yankees & Mets were swept, Adam Scott bogeyed away the British Open and Joe Paterno's statue was rightfully taken down, Boomer and Craig had plenty to talk about this Monday morning.
Some have panned the Knicks' decision not to match Houston's big-money offer sheet for Jeremy Lin. But Raymond Felton, back in NY, doesn't seem to think fans at MSG will miss Linsanity.
"I'm so thankful to New York and the Knicks for this past year, and the way that the fans rooted for us," Lin said. "I'm thankful for what they did for me."
There's plenty of blame to go around when figuring out who to point the finger at for the loss of Jeremy Lin. It should be no surprise that it all starts at the top.
