The Knicks had wanted to dismiss him as mythology, a fleeting pixie that had come and gone with magic dust. They wanted Jeremy Lin to go away, never bother them again, and yet he had done it again here. Jeremy Lin is a good player, and perhaps simply he wanted the Knicks to see it for themselves on Monday night. Adrian Wojnarowksi(via Yahoo Sports)

An athlete's public profile is mostly reverse-engineered and pieced together with scraps of what's already familiar. Chris Tang was dominating Virginia Beach high school basketball before Jeremy Lin scored 25 against the Nets, but all his accomplishments and the actual narrative of his journey through the United States will now be filtered through Linsanity. Jay Caspian Kang(via Grantland) , adding: "Neither the real Jeremy Lin nor the next Jeremy Lin think much of the Jeremy Lin effect. The real Lin says the idea makes him uncomfortable because he still has so much improving to do as a player. The next Jeremy Lin sees the whole thing as a bit of an annoyance."

As much as everyone was tracking Linsanity last year, the scrutiny will be more intense this season in Houston. Everyone is eager to see if Lin really is a fluke, if Linsanity was just a silly flash of fame, like Honey Boo Boo or professional hockey.

His eyes are fixed out the window as the city flashes past him. 'When we play here, I guess.'"

"I love the New York fans to death. That's the biggest reason why I wanted to return to New York. The way they embraced me, the way they supported us this past season, was better than anything I've ever seen or experienced. I'll go to my grave saying that.

Will Leitch(via NYMag.com) , who adds: "This is one of those rare sports stories that has no winners, only losers. Those are the worst sports stories." (Except the Brooklyn Nets. They win.)

After years of busted flushes, missed flops, and general bad play, Jim Dolan finally got dealt a great hand last season.
