Jeremy Lin and Carmelo Anthony Discuss Past Knicks Tensions on Podcast

Carmelo Anthony recently addressed his controversial comments regarding Jeremy Lin during a candid conversation on the podcast "7PM in Brooklyn," a production by Wave Original. Anthony characterized his earlier remarks as “ridiculous,” emphasizing that Lin deserved for the New York Knicks to match the Houston Rockets' offer rather than losing him due to luxury tax issues.

Reflecting on his departure from the Knicks, Lin shared, “You got to think from my perspective, everything kind of came and went so fast and now I’m not on the Knicks anymore.” He expressed his feelings about the public statements made by a coach and several teammates, which suggested that “Linsanity didn’t vibe with everybody in the locker room.” Lin added, “I’m hearing this and I’m trying to piece together the story.”

This discussion sheds light on the complex dynamics within the Knicks organization during Lin's breakout season. Their conversation highlights the lingering impact of those events on both players' careers.
