Carmelo Anthony reveals unknown part of Linsanity: ‘$100 million’ denial
NY Post
Carmelo Anthony and Baron Davis said they tried to get Jeremy Lin on board with turning Linsanity into a a cash cow, but he wanted no part of it.
Anthony, Davis and Lin were all teammates on the Knicks when Linsanity took over New York in 2012 — when Lin rose to fame during an inspiring 12-game stint when he averaged over 22 points and nine assists after the Knicks called him up to the league.
During the latest installment of his “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast, which Anthony co-hosts with comedian The Kid Mero, Anthony and Davis, who was a guest on the show, explained that Lin missed out on a $100 million business opportunity by not capitalizing on Linsanity.
“People always talk about how nobody liked the Linsanity era [in 2012], personally me. You get what I’m saying?” Anthony, who retired in May 2023, said, referring to those who believed he was jealous of the point guard’s success with the Knicks.
“Yeah, they had thrown that out there, but people don’t know that behind the scenes were very supportive. We used to be in the locker room trying to get him…”
That’s when Davis chimed in.
