Nike has extended their contract with Lin, according to Beijing Business Today, ensuring the Knicks' overnight sensation won't sign with a rival sportswear company.
In an otherwise cold month in the sporting calendar, Lin made everyone warmer. And Lin made everyone better, not just scoring but imbuing an otherwise fallow team and town with hope. The impact was real and the team's record reflected it.
"Jeremy's World" indeed. For the second straight week, Lin has made the cover of SI.
Melo briefly had what now belongs to Jeremy Lin. MSG shook when he was announced. Fans lined up to buy his jerseys, chanted his name. The happy homecoming hasn't lasted.
Linsanity has been a boon on the court, on Wall Street and now in the ratings. That's right, Lin has people watching the Knicks in record numbers.
The instinctual reaction from all Knicks fans will be to jump all over Carmelo Anthony and blame him for last night's loss. "He ruined the offense" will be the rally cry. The reaction would be wrong.
It's only February, yet countless experts have already counted New York out of contention. Does Jeremy Lin know how to swing a bat?
Should Carmelo Anthony be credited for launching Linsanity?
Knicks fans have been worrying about whether Carmelo Anthony's return would disrupt the Linsanity. This won't help ease their fears.
This is going so surprise many people after the last nine games: Jeremy Lin was not the best point guard in the Tri-State area Monday night.
With 'LINsanity' still running-wild, the signing of JR Smith, Carmelo Anthony's return, Baron Davis' debut and a Knicks loss to the Nets, today was a perfect day for Boomer & Craig to chat with Bernard King.
When Craig heard about people camping out for a chance to get their hands on the brand new foam, glow-in-the-dark Nike sneakers that are going for $220 and hit the stores this Friday, he decided that he wanted to get his feet in a pair.
When the dust settled, the storyline revolved around the point guard for the Nets.
Linsanity ran into reality: All-Star Deron Williams wasn't getting embarrassed by the Harvard guy again.
The Madison Square Garden Co. said Monday that it agreed to a multi-year deal under which the cable operator will carry its networks MSG, MSG+ and Fuse.
"This had nothing to do with me being cute or punny," Anthony Federico told the New York Daily News.
"I just want people to respect the privacy of my relatives in Taiwan," Lin said. "And I think hopefully this will get back to everybody because they need to live their lives as well."
Linsanity lives! And now the championship talk begins.
Thanks to Jerry Recco we got to hear from a whole host of Knickerbocker players following the big win.
After losing Friday night to the New Orleans Hornets, Jeremy Lin and the Knicks rebounded in a big way yesterday afternoon at the Garden against the Dallas Mavericks.
Jeremy Lin scored 28 points and added a career-high 14 assists as the Knicks took down the defending champion Mavericks, 104-97.
Carmelo Anthony remains out but J.R. Smith and Baron Davis have an outside chance of playing Sunday against the Mavericks.
Jeremy Lin committed nine turnovers, tied for the most in the NBA this season, and the New York Knicks had their seven-game winning streak stopped with an 89-85 loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night.
Throughout the dispute, Time Warner customers voiced their unhappiness and urged the two sides to come to a settlement. Time Warner customers can now watch the Knicks, Rangers, Devils, Islanders, Red Bulls and Sabres.
