I think next year I'll either be a Houston Rockets fan or just keep the fond memories of NY basketball in 2012. I was glad to get to go to one of the Linsanity games at the Garden, with three friends. The Knicks beat the Mavericks, 104-97.
Read the NY Times account for a sense of the moment.
Jeremy Lin enters the pantheon of NY sports folklore.
No matter how the rest of his career turns out, he'll always have a place in our hearts. Alongside such great characters as Mookie Wilson, Casey Stengel, Marv Throneberry. And there's a little Jackie Robinson in there too.
Maybe it's good that we get to close the book on Jeremy Lin as a Knick, now -- before the story becomes more mundane and less heroic. Somehow it's gotta be good or it would be just plain heartbreaking sad.
