Overview
- The pair met privately and then spoke on Carmelo Anthony’s 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, which aired June 12, 2026, to say they had directly answered years of questions and resolved their differences.
- Anthony rejected the long‑running jealousy narrative and said he wanted Lin to keep succeeding during the 2011–12 run that became known as ‘Linsanity.’
- Lin said he preferred to stay with the Knicks but accepted a three‑year, roughly $25 million offer from the Houston Rockets after his agent told him he had no choice.
- Lin recounted hearing public comments from a coach and teammates that ‘Linsanity didn’t vibe with everybody’ in the locker room, which added to his confusion after leaving New York.
- The exchange offers closure for both players and may reshape how fans remember Linsanity, while reporters note these are first‑person recollections and not independently verified documentary evidence.
