Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is.
I would have played for significantly less if that meant staying with the Knicks. Like, significantly less, because my heart was always here. Right after this ad.
Yo.
What does Jeremy Lin reflect on during his return to Madison Square Garden?
How are you? Good, man. You need coffee, anything? You got it? Sure. I am hurting right now.
What time did you get to bed last night?
Dude, I didn't sleep last night till like 2.30.
You're in the ESPN machine now, man. It's so funny to have you in studio. I'm very happy to be here. Dude, I saw you. I mean, I first met you when you were a senior.
Yeah.
And you were trying to set up your Xbox.
I was nice at Halo 3.
I was going to say. The Halo resume was a lot stronger, it seems, than your draft stock.
Yeah, no, there weren't too many weaknesses in my Halo 3 game. In my draft stock, that wasn't too hot.
No, no. What was it like to be there in person last night? We're talking on Tuesday morning. Last night was Game 3. What did it feel like?
It was... So, I'm there hours before. And I'm there like... an hour before they even let fans in. And so as they start to let fans in and they're trickling into their seat, you know, an hour and a half, two hours before the game, I'm doing some media on the Skybridge, I think it's called. And I'm walking and the people in the nosebleeds are seeing me and, you know, there's, you know, 25% filled because they just opened the doors and they're going crazy. And I'm like, This is insane. And then they give me that, you know, the introduction. I didn't know, but apparently it was close to a standing O or a standing O. You know, I'm instructed to look into the camera wave and just stare into the camera and smile so I'm not looking I can't see the greater arena and I don't know what's actually happening I can't see it on the jumbotron or anything I can only hear kind of oh there's some highlights and staring into the camera and I'm just focused like this it wasn't until after when Scott Van Pelt told me he was like they gave you a standing O and I was like really?
I did not know that but obviously just completely completely blown away
There was a lot happening last night. The thing that I kept on hearing from fans, from friends, and of course, I have a particular vantage point on this, but they kept on saying, we are most excited to see Jeremy Lin back in this building. The whole thing about this Knicks team that I'm forced back into contemplating is you. Because the garden hasn't sounded like this since you were playing in it.
The exclusive interview with the man at the center of the biggest story in sports. His name is Jeremy Lin. He's the seemingly out of nowhere overnight star of the New York Knicks. The man who launched a thousand bad puns like Linsanity and Linderella Story. Lin with the ball in his hands.
Jeffrey's another rebound. Lynn for three. Bang! The Jeremy Lynn Show continues here at Madison Square Garden.
I've heard that reference a lot. Yesterday, I think the last time it was like this was when Insanity was happening. And I was like, really? They've had some playoff runs recently and whatnot. But I haven't been back, so I don't know. But it was genuinely overwhelming. Even when we were filming for... You know, the initial show, the pregame show, I'm seeing my shirts, my jersey. Oh, the city people are, it's like it's 2012. I appreciate it. And even at the game yesterday, you know, like, you see majority is Brunson. But there's a little bit of my stuff sprinkled in there. You see the number 17. I'm just like, wow, like, New York, they really got my back.
Well, look, the whole thing of what the potential of the Garden is and how this team, obviously, making a Finals run, is meeting that possibility. It was proven... by you just the idea of like this could be the greatest building in sports in my lifetime that's that's the thing that I felt and again I've been I've been covering you for way too long but but that was the premise and so watching this team for you I mean it's got to be weird kind of just surreal on a bunch of levels
