Nathaniel S. Butler / NBAE via Getty Images fileFormer New York Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said he initially underestimated Jeremy Lin before “Linsanity.”
“He walks up to me. He goes, ‘Hey, coach. I have my car on the West Coast. Should I bring it to the East Coast?’” D’Antoni recalled, laughing. “I said, ‘Oh, I don’t know, Jeremy. I don’t think so, let me get back to you on that one.’” “He came in and we opened things up and that was it. I mean, it exploded. He was unbelievable,” D’Antoni said. “We went on to win like eight in a row and he made a couple of game-winning shots. The camaraderie, the chemistry of the team was off the charts. And it was fun. It was a great ride.”
