Contest: Win a Jeremy Lin Authentic Jersey

Your chance to win the exact same jersey JLin wears on a nightly basis.

Jeremy Lin’s rise to Linsanity from anonymity is a story that gives the common basketball player hope. And now, our friends at adidas have hooked us up with Lin’s jersey to give away to one lucky common man. That’s right, we’re giving away one authentic Jeremy Lin Knicks jersey—the exact same jersey he wears every night at MSG while running the show for the Knicks. How exclusive is it? You literally can’t buy it in stores yet. Read the following question below and answer in our comments section for your chance to win:

Before Jeremy Lin burst on the scene, the New York Knicks were a lackluster team plummeting in the Eastern Conference standings, their season sinking along with the hopes and dreams of their fans. But with his arrival, the mood in New York City has changed—along with the team’s fortunes. With Lin at the helm and Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony back in the fold, the Knicks are a legitimate contender in the East. Sure, it’s insane to suggest that New York could win this year’s NBA title, but hey, so are Knicks fans. With that in mind, explain what a Knicks title in 2012 would mean to you. Be creative, be funny, but most of all, be honest.

The winner will be selected on Friday. Only 1 entry will win, so for the rest of the JLin fans out there (or fans of any other team and player), be sure to swing by NBAStore.com to pick up an NBA jersey, hat or other swag of your choice to properly rep your team as the Playoffs approach—and be sure to follow the NBA Store on Twitter!

    A knicks title in 2012 would make me proud to be a raptors fan. Two/three years ago the raptors were at around the same level as the Knicks. Sure that was without Melo or A’mare or anybody else… but they were there.

    it dont mean jack to me but id like the jersey !!!

    A Knicks Championship in 2012 would mean a lot. It would be awesome to have an underdog win a championship, giving hope to all the ballers out there that it is possible for an any team to win so they don’t lose confidence. It would also give Asian Americans more hope to have a big dream of playing in the NBA.

    If the Knicks win a title in 2012 that means that Lebron had another meltdown and I will stop defending him when all the people on Slam continue to bash him. I might even buy a Cavs 23 jersey and burn it on my lawn, then take the Lin jersey I’m gonna win from this post drive down to China town and give it to the first Asian I meet that doesnt speak English.

    Knicks title in 2012 would mean that my Lakers did not win it all,and we did not make a big trade and wasted Kobe’s year. Also a Knicks title would mean that Melo showed everyone he is a superstar and that he can play with anyone. I feel that Melo is not being treated fairly and on First Take last week, before the All Star game, he had to defend himself as the leader of the Knicks. No offense to Jeremy Lin, he is living the dream, but if Knicks win ring in 2012, Melo has just validated his career. A Knicks title also would mean that the Heat, did not win the ring and more of Lebron is a choker continues for as least one more year. Also the Knicks winning the title validates that D’Antoni offense can work, Steve Nash just could not deliver, maybe because he does not play defense. A Knicks title also would mean that the NBA would become even bigger, because the MECCA of basketball just got a Basketball Title and New York media would go bonkers. BOOK IT!!!

  • dazzy

    Between the Brokeback Mountain/Ang Lee obsession, plus the D’Antoni “joke” I think O should just admit who/what he is…And a Knick title would mean all the lame haters at slamonline.com would kill themselves (Red, nbk, bulls22 etc). Seriously, they’d one themselves.

  • dazzy

    Seed, I’m a NYer and a knick fan and even I can see that you’re a Kobe stan. Kobe hates Nash so you hate on him. Lebron is a better all-around player so you hate on him. Do you have any opinions that aren’t influenced by your weird obsession with Kobe?

  • http://nyill.wordpress.com O

    I have a Brokeback obsession?? And since when is Ang Lee “suspect”? But yes, I do think D’Antoni’s a hunk…

    A New York Knick victory would be absolutely LINsane everybody would be going crazy!! If Jeremy Lin leads the Knicks to Finals champions this year, the whole world should be named after him. This guy is ridiculous I don’t know how he does but everybody including me loves to watch him regardless of if they are a Knicks fan or not. I am a Lin fan. If the Lakers don’t win the championship. GO LINsanity and the Knicks! His story is unbelievable too, he deserves this greatness through all of the rough times of being cut to where he is now. He worked so hard to get where he is now, winning the jersey would make me so happy and remind me every day that anybody no matter where you are from or what happens to you in your life one day something unbelievable can happen and turn your life around.

  • roybot

    I’m an Asian-American Blazers fan, but Jeremy Lin leading the Knicks to a title would make me the most proud fan ever. I have been following him since Harvard and knew that he had NBA game, but was pissed off when not even one team wanted to use a second round pick on one of the smartest and rapidly-improving point guards in the country. I dont doubt one bit that it was because the GM’s looked at his face, then at NBA rosters, and then back at his face and came up with the idea that he just didn’t belong in the league. When the Bay Area came calling, I thought that Jeremy had found the perfect market for him to thrive in. I mean, he was playing near his hometown and arguably the densest Asian-American population in the US. But the Warrior didn’t see any promise in Lin and again Lin was overlooked by some of the best(supposedly) talent scouts in the world. A Knicks title in 2012 would add to the legacy of Lin, Melo, Amar’e and all the Knicks for that matter, but culturally, the impact would be so much greater. Lin would be recognized as a national hero in the Asian-American community AND his native Taiwanese community. He has already opened recruiters’ eyes to more and more Asian players. Bias will always be a factor, but what Lin has done can be described as stereotype-murder, and for that I thank you.

  • Josh Edgar

    The Knicks winning the championship would show David can always beat Golaith, with the Heat, Bulls, Thunder etc. being the goliaths in the league. I’m in high school right now, and aspire to play beyond. It would give me something to be believe in, something that I can connect to. Persecution comes as a test of faith, and believe me, ive been persecuted, but that only pushes me to be better.

    I know youre going to choose me, but youll get my address later.

  • Knick-a-bocka

    The New York Knicks winning the 2011-12 NBA title, for me, would be a world-wide victory for silent letters, and those few words unfortunate enough to contain one, or more of these grammatical cancers. Growing up in Australia with a name like ‘Leighton’ (don’t-call-me-Hewitt), I have experienced first hand, since that god-awful day I became literate, the trauma and frustration surrounding these inconveniently placed letters. From the awkwardness and often utter embarrassment in the classroom when my name was misspelled as a child, to the countless corrections to the question “is that with an ‘e-y’?”, as an adult, my life has been slowly and relentlessly tortured/plagued by these plights on the English language.
    It was therefore an obvious choice, back when I began following the NBA in the late 90s, to support the ‘Knicks’, a team which I could share great empathy with (‘Phoenix’ sucked at the time, so were ruled out). However, I soon became to grow some proper, meaningful attachments to the franchise as I followed them over the ensuing years. The excitement of the Houston, Starks and Ewing era officially got me hooked, and the Knicks have been reeling me in further and further ever since. The mediocre decade which followed could not dampen my enthusiasm as I sacrificed mid-day sleep-ins on holidays to watch the Knicks play, and most likely lose, on a slow, shotty internet stream. It didn’t beat sacrificing reccess’ at school to sneak in a quarter of the Knicks vs. Reggie, or Ewing vs. MJ, but it was still Knicks basketball and that’s all that mattered to me.
    Now, having successfully reached adulthood as a Knicks fan, with hair surprisingly still intact and lacking grey-tinge, the excitement of the late 90s Knicks is beginning to come back to me. The brute force of Ewing has been replaced by the athleticsm and sheer power of Amare’, the high-flying Starks replaced by the Melo package, and even the shooting touch of Al Houston is beginning to be replaced by the creativity and sheer willingness of Jeremy Lin. This excitement has lead me to purchase League Pass for the first time ever, and the thrill of watching the Knicks win basketball games again is truly golden.
    The title in 2012 would make the past 15 or so years of supporting the Knicks officially worth-while. The Keith Van Horn jersey in my wardrobe is a sad reminder of the lack of success my team has seen in recent years, and is well and truly due for an upgrade. An upgrade which is however, minor compared to that which is needed, and which I pray for, in the New York trophy cabinet. Simply put, a Knicks title in 2012 would certainly not be a silent victory for me. Pun intended… unfortunately.

  • Andrew

    If the Knicks win the NBA championship this year, I will go insane. Not in a bad way, but in the best way possible. Being a borderline 90′s baby (I was born in 89) I grew up watching the Knicks with my parents, who are avid Knicks fans as well. We suffered together, watching heart breaking losses at the hands of greats such as Reggie and MJ. The teams were tough, they were rugged, they hung in there and even though they lost, you couldn’t hate them. All you could do was love. Fast forward to post Ewing days. All the greats retired. They were either too old or they were too injured (BTW, ALLAN HOUSTON NEEDS TO COME BACK). <– this is how crazy I am about the Knicks. Enter Isiah Thomas and years of pain and turmoil, expiring contracts, fading talent, washed up greats, etc. etc. etc. The Knicks were no longer lovable. How could you love a team with Eddie Curry AND Mike Sweetney? Players that were frequenting shake shack before shake shack even existed! Times were hard, but Knicks fans hung in there. We hung in there for a LONG time. And now this season. This season began with so many expectations, expectations that were crushed. New Yorkers were drained of their spirits. Thank goodness the G-MEN came though for at least some of us (sorry Jets fans). Suicide hotlines must have been blowing up. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT ASIAN DUDE FROM HARVARD WOULD HAVE TURNED THINGS AROUND?!?! No one. Absolutely no one. And now look at the Knicks. They're once lovable again. They have depth! They're playing defense! THAT's RIGHT! A D'ANTONI TEAM IS PLAYING DEFENSE. It's a beautiful thing. If the Knicks win it all this year, they'll have overcome the odds and prove everyone wrong. But the most important thing is that they're playing with heart again, and they've captured my heart, and the heart of New Yorkers. PEACE!

    PS.

    THIS ONES FOR YOU SPIKE!!!

  • Anthony L

    A Knicks title in 2012 would shut all of my hater friends up. I have been wanting D’Antoni to use Lin ever since it was announced that he was picked up by the Knicks. Watching Lin play has been of the most magical moments in my life because I too am an Asian American and also a Lin. He is accomplishing a dream I’ve always wanted to become true. I remember when Jeremy Lin was first picked up by the Warriors and I told myself, if he becomes a Knickerbocker, I am going to get his jersey as I want to represent my city and have Lin on my back. I’ve always created my character in NBA games so there can be a Lin and now there finally is a Lin. Knicks winning a title with Jeremy carrying them would become the biggest moment I will have ever witness. I really believe Jeremy can carry Knicks to a championship this year. He would make all Asians proud of what we are. Lin will make all the Asian kids believe that one day, they too can play in the NBA and make it big. Jeremy is my role model and I will continue to basketball. Even if I am not able to make it, I can tell my kids that they can make it anywhere they want if they put their mind to it and never give up. I know that the Knicks will take the chip this year so I can finally brag to my Heat friends that your Lebron, Wade, and Bosh got beaten by my Lin, Amare, Melo, and Chandler.

    The world I love,
    they told you to
    believe in your dreams.
    They told you to
    work hard for your dreams.
    Knicks for the win.
    Inspire Caucasians,
    inspire Asians,
    inspire Blacks,
    inspire all of life’s packs.
    A 2012 Knicks win,
    still the world continues to spin.
    I live not for JLin,
    he lives not for me,
    but for one moment,
    he, my spiritual brother, both loud and silent,
    understanding that we are not physically connected,
    yet together deeply rooted,
    in our quest for respect unexpected,
    in our quest to earn our pay,
    in our quest to find our way.
    When our brother or sister triumphs,
    when they play a card that trumps,
    they not only win;
    they carry us to new heights within.
    What is it you’re afraid of?
    Failure? Ridicule? Hate?
    Death? Pain? Fate?
    He who braves the path less traveled,
    will be awed and marveled.
    A team of Knickerbockers who stand above all else,
    my heart it melts,
    for it is not a group of 12 strong,
    it is humanity’s throng,
    that creates a piece of history;
    that pens this story.
    And it will be nothing short of glory.
    Choose not a life of imitation,
    but a life of inspiration.
    Witness success,
    under Big Apple neon signs’ shine,
    while standing in line.

  • Daniel J

    A Knicks title in 2012 isn’t one of my wishes. It would mean that my Atlanta Hawks didn’t win, which would upset me so much. As much as I like the story of Jeremy Lin, I don’t like the fact that out of the blue the Hawks have another team to watch out for in our playoff hunts. In the end, I hope he does well except when they play the Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals, than, and only than, do I hope he goes back to the days where he couldn’t hit a wide open lay-up. Thank you, thank you very much. That is all. Hawks pride baby!!!

    Jeremey Lin is a sure hell of a talented monster. Knicks can make a deep run or maybe even a title. Jeremy lin is now my role model I would like his jersey

  • Al John Jordan

    When I think about a New York Knicks Championship in 2012.. I think about the passion of Patrick Ewing. As I look at Camelo Anthony and Amare Stoudamire, I see Charles Oakley and Charles Smith crashing the boards. I envision seeing John Starks with the spark, as I see Landry Fields run down the court on a fast break in the NBA Finals. I see the power of Anthony Mason, when Tyson Chandler fight for his spot in the paint.
    A Knicks Championship in 2012, would make me remember all of the hurt and pain Knicks fans went through for a many years, but the rebirth of the great days of Earl the Pearl Monroe, Bill Bradley and Walt Frazier. The Mecca of Basketball has risen up again! Jeremy Lin has brought us the same feeling that the New York Giants have brought us. Eli Manning leading our New York Giants to be the 2012 NFL Superbowl Champions is reality. And just like Eli Manning, Jeremy Lin can make reality our New York Knicks being the 2012 NBA Champions!!! Go Knicks!

  • Cole Brende

    A Knicks title win sure as hell wouldn’t mean a lot to me here in South Dakota, but Obama could really use the Linsanity to increase trade negotiations with China.

  • RyandC

    i would’ve had John Woo as director…Linsanity lets the game winning 3 against the Raptors fly and as the camera follows the ball’s trajectory in slow motion , doves are flying around in the background.

  • IamYOU

    I’m not a NY Knicks fan but surely an Asian! So If the Knicks wins the Championship! It WILL be a BIG DEAL for ME! All of the Stereotype that said Asians can’t ball! Well he just represent me and all Asians worldwide that we can Drop the Dime,Break someone’s Ankle,Soar High to Throw it Down and We can Definitely Play BALL!!!! G’day SIR!

    P.S. Linsanity is Overrated!

  • Natalie Thao

    A Knicks title in 2012 would mean my favorite NBA team reached their dream. I would have the greatest satisfaction that the team I supported did not only get the title in 2012 but created change in society. I am small Asian girl and went through a lot with stereotypes and opinions of others. Seeing a team work together and get past the talk and stereotypes is a wake-up call to society.

    Jeremy Lin’s attitude about the media and his respect to others has reminded me to not let talk get the best of you but still be respectful. His respect is contagious. His opponents even show respect. For example, Kris Humphries states, “He’s a really nice guy. … It’s nice to see great things happen for nice people.” With Jeremy’s attitude you can see his team lighten up and are one of the few NBA teams that will actively show more respect than talk trash or say nothing at all. (Emphasize that I am not talking about all teams within NBA not being respectable.)

    A Knicks title in 2012 would mean society can learn to show respect, work together and achieve success. To me the Knicks title would mean I was a part of the support that pushed the inspiring Knicks to achieve their dream. Honestly I do not mind whether or not they get the title. After all, “When you play basketball, you don’t want to play for pressure or because so-and-so wants you to do it. You just do it to have fun and that’s the most important thing. Basketball is a game at the end of the game.” –Jeremy Lin

    But how can you not want such an inspiring, respectable, and humble team not get the 2012 title?! If Knicks get the title in 2012, satisfaction is guaranteed but their inspiration is endless!

  • Mike

    a NY championship would mean that every asian on the planet would start talking about lin and everyone from my sister to my grandma will ask me why I can’t be more like jeremy

  • http://nyill.wordpress.com/ O

    LMAO @ RyandC. Dunn, Jeremy has a Chinese and Taiwanese background just like Ang Lee. That’s kinda why I picked him. I’ve been a Knicks fan for hammers and the last time we had a PG this effective – in a positive way – he got into a fist fight with that crumb-bum Jo Jo English. Felton WAS effective too, but ain’t put up numbers like Lin on a consistent basis with or without Stat. Son had a dope game tonight too. Big ups to B. Diddy too. Knicks bench is looking better than most teams starting 5. Word to the Mutha… was just listening to BBD…

  • Jon Chen

    A Knicks Championship would mean a lot … for the NBA, for the city of New York, for the true fans that stuck through the days of Isaiah Thomas and Eddy Curry. But for me, a Knicks championship would mean a title for Jeremy Lin, of which there is no greater measure of success. Not only does it defy stereotypes for Asian-American society, it confirms the belief that no matter what others may say, hard work and shear determination and a bit of luck can amount to huge success!

  • reynaldo garcia

    before jeremy lin arrived at new york the team was teethering at the brink of elimination very early into the season, but when mr. lin came everything has changed.with the knicks winning the championship this season, it will cap a very interesting and inspiring year not just for the players and fans around new york, but also for those people who struggle with their everyday lives and giving up hope.for me jeremy is a symbol of perseverance that no matter how down he was he still took the challenge of making his way up.LIN IS PERSEVERANCE PERSONIFIED!the knicks found a gem, and that gem will lead them to a bigger one.THROUGH LINFINITY AND BEYOND!

  • V

    WHEN the Knicks win the NBA Championship this year and will be hoisting the Larry O’Brian Trophy to the whole world to see, the world will finally learn to never underestimate the power of an underdog. The world will finally learn to respect ballers solely on how the play and not overlook them because of the nationality, race or ethnicity. The world will finally learn that dreams do come true, simply by hard work and perserverance. The world will finally learn that sometimes you don’t need free agency, big names or luctrative contracts to win ball games…just teamwork. The world will finally know that bad things do happen for a reason, and whatever happens, it happens for good. Lastly, the world will finally learn to live with a new dynasty in the NBA, that of the NEW YORK KNICKERBOCKERS!!
    The Knicks winning the ‘chip this year will mean a whole lot to us Knicks fans who were tired of the painfully lackluster play before Number 17 checked in at 3:35 in the 1st quarter on February 4th 2012 and went on to catch the world by storm. It’ll mean that hope does exist and it plays at the MSG everynight with (L)intergrity. It’ll mean that we actually have something to look forward to and wish that the same success and joy will carry on forever…to Linfinity and Beyond!

  • YaBoy

    If Lin turns the Knicks into the 2012 NBA champions, Spike Lee will direct the greatest underdog story based on it and FINALLY win an Oscar!

    2012 Knick Title?……Best example of team play not just for basketball but for all team sports in the whole world…And im not even from NY but would wear that Jersey Proud!!!!! Nah…i just need to explain to my wife why ive been watching the knicks games since Feb 4, 2012….hahahahahaha

  • http://slamonline.com tealish

    A Knickerbocker title in 2012 would mean the years of watching Johnny Starks miss free throws, Latrell being Latrell, H2O burdened by that big contract, Patrick Drenched-Jersey-In-The-First-2-Minutes Ewing sweatin’ as only he can, LJ doing that weird thing with his arms and JVG wrestling Alonzo’s legs, were not in vain. And that Harvard boy would have played no small part — believe that!

  • Adi

    It would mean Dan Gilbert is saved for another year, at least Lebron doesn’t win a title just yet, his (hopeless) Cavs would have another year to try. Mr. Gilbert would be the happiest man alive.

    A Knicks title in 2012 for me would
    Mean all those years when we were close (I’m talking abOut when the rockets squashed Ewing and the Knicks in the 90′s) would be swept under the rug and I could finally see punks like leChoke James cry Bc Lin and the entire champions would have dethroned him. I hope they do win.

  • Jono

    It would make me happy :)

  • Raymond

    If NYK wins 2012 title, i will enroll in Harvard and fulfill my dream of playing in the NBA, and becoming the third most famous Asian (next to Yao Ming and J-Lin) who played in the NBA

  • colby

    Seeing the New York Knicks win this year would honestly be a victory for me not only to see my team hoist up the larry o’brien trophy, but because i am a christian, to see a fellow brother in Christ (jeremy Lin)take his success all the way to the top. In todays age where athletes tend to not put the spotlight on their faith its refreshing to have a role model so open with his beliefs. Lin is how athletes should model themselves and to see his hard work pay off only gives hopes to the rest of us to never give up on dreams we have. The New York Knicks as a franchise deserve a win as well, its been far to long that the mecca of basketball has been out of the winners circle. My second favorite player on the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony, although maybe to others dentrimental to the team, is a key component for them to win. Seeing him finally get his acknowledgement and a ring would be amazing (plus as long as he gets one before LeBron im happy).

  • JM

    If the Knicks would win a title in 2012, it would be the fairytale ending to the fitting “Linderella” story By against all odds, against all doubters and unbelievers, would be an awesome story 20 years from now. Coming out of nowhere to Broadway Hero. Now, that’s a story worth remembering for. Very inspirational to all Asian-Americans.

  • Hiro Nishimori

    When the Knicks win the title, Landry Fields dry humps Lin in the post game interview.

  • Sam Skei

    First and foremost, BIG UP to SLAM for an absolutely FAB magazine. The last time the Knickerbockers tasted NBA victory was way back in 1970 & 1973, so a title is loooooooooong overdue, I’m sure Spike Lee can confirm that. Linsanity is probably “the answer” to set it off and he has got nothing to loose, just a hell of a lot of respect to gain, so LIGHT UP, NY and THEN SOME….Love y’all, all the the way from South Africa!!!!!!!Peace…..

  • debusch

    A few months ago nobody thought that the Knicks could win the championship, but some crazy weeks later a man named J.Lin make this possible
    c’mon Knicks, Linsanity forever!!!!

  • jayjay

    When the Knicks win the championship, I will wait for the following month’s of SLAM issue with Lin and the Knicks as cover story, purchase perhaps 12 or 15 copies, and hopefully get each one of them autographed by each Knickerbocker. You can call me Linsane, but I’m definitely Knoptimistic.

  • DD

    Knicks title in 2012? Um…..wow.

  • Jeni Bird

    OK, so every Friday my boss comes to work wearing his Miami Heat jersey (disgusting, I know). And since Jeremy Lin’s jersey is harder to find than LeBron in the 4th Quarter (sorry, I had to), I went ahead and made my own custom Jeremy Lin shirt/jersey to wear to the office. Of course some co-workers laughed, and my boss gave me a hard time about it and said “What’s the matter, they don’t actually sell Lin merchandise because the Knicks stink?!” So after coming across this contest, I feel like its destiny and my chance to finally silence the critics at work, and to see the look on my boss’s face when he sees me stroll in wearing an authentic Jeremy Lin jersey would be PRICELESS! So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Slam Magazine…HELP ME OUT! Plus, I will be forever grateful to the best basketball mag out there, SLAM!!! :)

  • Nate C.

    It would mean a lot! If the Knicks would win this year’s NBA Finals, it would be a big story in history. The true underdog story of Jeremy Lin. Knicks from zero to hero. The Knicks winning the Finals would set a precedent for the future. They could probably shock us all with a three-peat. If Steve Novak or J.R. Smith are in the starting line, you could probably have a BIG 5!! I mean, Tyson Chandler, Amare Stoudemire,Carmelo Anthony, and Jeremy Lin. Add either Novak or Smith, you will have a high scoring game and a huge chance to win the Finals. Novak is hitting his threes as if he wasn’t going to miss. J.R. is quick, can fade away or make 3-pointers when needed. This is the team to watch this year and for years to come.

    LEGGO KNICKS!!

  • AOK

    Giants 2012, Knicks 2012 – if the Mets win too and I win the Mega Millions I think I’m set for life. LGK!

  • http://www.slamonline.com Double J

    Well, first and foremost I’m a Native American ball player from the Pacific Northwest that pretty much has the same build as Jeremy Lin, and am also notoriously mistaken for being of Asian decent. Basketball is huge within Indian Country and it’s painful to see that we still are yet to have an NBA caliber player rise out of a Rez somewhere. Fortuantely enough, Jeremy Lin has been our substitute in that category. A literal, “come out of nowhere, hey wow he kinda looks like me” type of player. It’s been refreshing and rejuvenating, and if J-Lin takes down a championship, you better believe Indian Country will be rocking, and I will most certainly be smiling from ear to ear as people scream Linsanity at each and every one of my silky smooth J’s. Yao Ming step out of the way, this Asian-looking Indian is straight outta Harvard baby.
