Shortly after the news broke that Jeremy Lin was one-hundred-percent a Houston Rocket Tuesday night, Twitter exploded with a mix of reactions ranging from the insane to the somewhat mild. Here's a list of the very best knee-jerk tweets I could find. They are... just great:
RIP Jeremy Lin's relevance.

On the bright side, Knicks fans, Jeremy Lin has no history of proving people wrong.

Jeremy Lin's youth, upside, intelligence, humbleness and winning attitude just wasn't a good fit on the Knicks roster.

Im happy Jeremy Lin is not part of the Knicks anymore. Its just makes them that much better in 2K with Shumpert, Felton, & Kidd as their PGs

So, who's gonna be the first to call Jeremy Lin 'The Passtronaut'?Crap, it's us... #JeremyLinHoustonRocket
— West Coast Digress (@WCDigress) July 18, 2012
Felton. Kidd. Prigioni. #Knicks OK at PG. Nobody knows what Lin can do in 82-game season. If you do, as Kay might say, you're making it up.

And finally, the one YouTube reaction to top them all: "The Jeremy Lin I Used To Know."
