Linsanity was huge. His following stretched throughout our nation, and immensely in China. His following there will be clamoring to relive that stretch.

My mother hates all sports, but she knew Lin, Linsanity, and what he looked like. She has no clue who Melo is, or what he looks like. She loves Lala, so I'd have to mention her first.

Same here

Linsanity was huge, even made the French TV news. The kid from Harvard outplaying Kobe was a great story.

Finally an organization gives credit to him.
It's just not the Knicks, but 2K is always there when you need them.

I get people liked him and it was "huge" but we are talking about classic teams here with all time great players and real accomplishments...not flash in a pans that didn't do anything.

they given proper credit to him in MYteam, by making a Linsanity Myteam card and beefing up his ratings.

A whole team dedicated to his short run,ehhhhh i dont think thats a good idea. a bunch of other teams deserving that slot to me. Knicks dont deserve 3 classic teams to me lol

well i agree with you. it's not a classic team. but i was just saying how big it was, it appeals to more people than just those who are fans of this team or that team.

Why not the 2013 knicks? That team is as actually good

This game was incredibly fun. Love the crowd reaction after Melo hits the long 2

Watch on YouTube

2k probably still cant get Sheeds rights lol

He wasn't really a big part, after the first month, besides leadership, so it's not a big deal

yeah. they're a good strategy play. inside-out all day. i just meant a lot of gamers like to control those guys with insane athleticism and talents that branch from there.

I loved the uniforms before they changed them to what they use now. So at least those are in the game again.

Don't get me wrong, I was definitely happier in the 54 win season.

I said entertaining because it was such a roller coaster ride. The team went through so many different phases it was crazy.

I don't know why they added that team. It doesn't make sense, whatever it's about time they added the 98-99 Knicks!

Things might have been different if we got the 8th seed and faced the Rose-less Bulls instead.

Where can I see all the teams they've added?

Love that the 99 Knicks are in there. That was a truly magical run. Makes both the 2012 and 2013 teams look mediocre. Neither of those deserve to be in but at least 2012 had something memorable/historical in Linsanity so I can almost see it. 2013 was just vets over achieving in the regular followed by the whole team underachieving in the post season.

JR going full (Please Use More Appropriate Word), Novak's disappearing act and Melo getting his soul taken by Roy F'n Hibbert is not something that deserves recognition in a video game unless it's a horror game.
