While Coach Mike Woodson has said that Jeremy Lin is "absolutely" going to be a Knick next season, Lin has been slightly more cagey about what might come next for him: "Personally, I think it would be great if I come back. But crazy things happen and I don’t really know what’s going to happen.” Now, there are reports that the Nets would love to steal Lin from the Knicks and transplant Linsanity to Brooklyn. At least that means he won't have to break up his new Entourage just yet. more ›

It was only three months ago that Knicks star Jeremy Lin was avoiding paparazzi and eager female fans at downtown club Avenue—Linsanity was fully underway when reports came out of him shunning champagne for Bud Light, leaving the club by the relatively modest hour of 2 a.m. The NY Post is sad to break the news, but that Lin is gone now—and all that is left is a party-hardy husk of swishing, dishing, and tipsy flirting. more ›

Last night was perhaps the cruelest playoff loss yet for the Knicks in this series against the Miami Heat: while game 1 was a blowout and game 2 was just glass-smashing, the Heat actually played really badly for a large amount of Thursday night at the Garden. LeBron James seemed to be doing everything he could in the first three quarters to give this one to the Knicks, yet they couldn't quite keep their first half momentum going, resulting in a thoroughly depressing 87-70 loss. Between their looming sweep and his lingering injuries, it's practically a certainty that Jeremy Lin won't risk more injury by playing in Game 4 on Sunday. But there is something he can do for the team: invite them over to binge eat his jersey made entirely of fruit-roll ups. more ›

Well, that's one way to start a playoff series: the Knicks got utterly destroyed in game one of their playoff series against the Miami Heat yesterday afternoon. After a well-played first quarter, the game was never close again—the 100-67 final score doesn't even give you an idea of how pathetic it was. So all that confidence was definitely not justified. NY Times reporter Michael Powell has an idea of how they can win game two though: "Sign Ewing, page Oakley at car wash, ask Starks if he is still limber..." more ›

Why is Stoudemire in particular so confident in the team? He thinks they have more depth than Miami: depth. “Our bench has been phenomenal for us all season long," he told the Post. "We’re a much better defensive team than we were before. We have so many threats offensively to match their offensive threats. So it’s pretty much even as far as our startling lineup and I think our second unit is a little bit stronger.’’ more ›

The Linsanity has come to an end, at least for this season: Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin will undergo knee surgery to "repair a partially torn meniscus in his left knee." Time to blame Sports Illustrated, RIGHT? more ›

Over the past week and a half, Knicks fans may have found themselves suddenly suffering from winning and grinning, sagacity with dishing, and reverse off the glass zigzagging—all symptoms of the phenomenon known as Linsanity. Despite reports to the contrary, it turns out that Linsanity is alive and well, as the NY Times declares today. But wait, wasn't it the NY Times who declared Linsanity dead and done less than a month ago? more ›

Linsanity may have given way to Timsanity at this point, but Knicks breakout point guard Jeremy Lin has been playing very well lately on the court as the Knicks have gone on a five-game win streak—and he's still getting plenty of endorsement deals off the court, including Volvo and Coke. Now, he's also making sure to wrest control of his name back from the various moochers who have re-appropriated it. To that end, Lin's legal team has sent a series of cease-and-desist letters to medical marijuana dispensaries who are selling the "Linsanity" brand pot. more ›

Twenty-four year old virgin and meme generator Tim Tebow has been part of the NY Jets for less than a day, but his presence has already divided the entire nation. Despite initial reports that he was less than enthusiastic about representing our fair Gomorrah in the holy game of brain concussion ball, Tebow said yesterday that he thinks NYC is "a great market; a great city." Sure, it might be a great city that hates his guts—but that doesn't mean that Tebow can't win us all over one Jesus-propelled football throw at a time. “Tim Tebow can be the king,” marketing expert Ronn Torossian, the CEO and president of 5W Public Relations, told the Daily News. “There is no bigger place to shine than in New York City and I think the Tebow brand is one that transcends sports. I think the guy can get unlimited sponsorships in New York City.” more ›

It was only 40 days ago that a long-overlooked Asian-American point guard from Harvard tore through the Nets, briefly giving hope to long-beleaguered Knicks fans while capturing the hearts of basketball fans across the globe with his swishing and dishing. And now, with the Knicks back in free fall and Mike D'Antoni gone, the local papers have all declared Linsanity officially over. And judging by how new coach Mike Woodson plans on running his offense, things don't look too bright for Jeremy Lin: “Woody’s inclination would not be to play him,” a person who has worked with Woodson told the Times. more ›

Here's the breakdown of the last month and a half for the Knicks: the team was 7-1 without star Carmelo Anthony last month, and have now lost 8 of 10 since he's returned from a groin injury. As has been stated again and again the last few weeks, you can't blame the team's dysfunction solely on Melo—but then again, a definite rift has formed according to the Times: "The Knicks are not a unified team. On one side is Anthony. On the other is everyone else." more ›

Things have not been very good for Jeremy Lin and the Knicks since coming back from the All-Star Break—it's gotten to the point that USA Today and Christian Post are saying Linsanity is over. Well not so for some entrepreneurial marijuana peddlers in LA, who have concocted a Linsanity strain of pot. And it's Rick Ross-approved! more ›

How long does it take to go from benchwarmer to action figure? About a month, apparently. Which is to say, if you've been looking for that perfect gift for the fair weather Knicks fan in your life and have a few extra grand burning a hole in your pocket...have we found the item for you. more ›

Obama sat down with Bill Simmons to talk about sports—and of course he discussed Jeremy Lin, and how he was ahead of the curve: "I knew about Jeremy before you did, or anyone else did." more ›

In a rush to stamp their brand on the Zeitgeist, Ben & Jerry's released a new frozen yogurt flavor last week in honor of rising Knicks star (and Harvard grad) Jeremy Lin. The limited edition "Taste The Lin-Sanity" flavor was only sold for a few days in their Harvard Square location before controversy arose over the inclusion of "fortune cookie pieces." After initially replacing the first batches, the company has now formally and directly apologized: "We offer a heartfelt apology if anyone was offended by our handmade Lin-Sanity flavor," they said in a statement. more ›

Never one to sit on the sidelines, Ben & Jerry's grabbed the zeitgeist by the horns and launched a limited edition "Taste The Lin-Sanity" flavored ice cream last week in honor of rising Knicks star Jeremy Lin. And of course, controversy followed almost immediately: days after selling the flavor at its Harvard Square location, they had to replace the first batches of it that included "fortune cookie pieces" in it. "There seemed to be a bit of an initial backlash about it, but we obviously weren't looking to offend anybody and the majority of the feedback about it has been positive," Ryan Midden, Ben & Jerry's general manager for Boston and Cambridge, told Boston.com. more ›
