Deron Williams lives in SoHo, just a few blocks from Linsanity Central in Chinatown, but he isn’t caught up in the hype.

The point guard said he didn’t watch Lin’s game-winning 3-pointer Tuesday night, and he’s more concerned with a Nets team that has lost six straight heading into Wednesday’s game against the Grizzlies.

“Why would we get excited about the Knicks? We’re 8-21, I’m worried about us, not what Jeremy Lin’s doing,” he said.

Williams — a father of four — said he doesn’t watch television, not since giving it up while playing overseas in Turkey. So he playfully pleaded ignorance when asked about Lin, even though the sensation started after the Knicks point guard scored 25 points against Williams.

 

“What phenomenon?” Williams asked.

Finally, after the fifth question about Lin, he cut off the subject.

“Ya’ll got anything about tonight? Anything that’s relevant with us?”
