My favorite knick well...2nd to Ewing

@@newyorker6890 lethal shooter lol?

Now we got Houston 2.0 in Grimes I hope tibbs knows that

@@lendog4466 Yea he was Houston or Iso Joe?

Allan Houston would have been a superstar in today's league

Teams played a lot slower back then.

Houston is my favorite Knick, as a long suffering knicks fan. But Ray Allen's shot is nicer.

Completely agree

Jesus shuttlesworth says hold that

It's up there. Klay Thompson and him

I agree. People never talk about Allan Houston being a great shooter because of injuries cutting his career short.

Allan Houston and Ray Allen were pretty much equals, but Ray Allen had more All-star recognitions

Wu Liwei that’s because Ray Allen had a longer career.

Houston was snubbed from the All-Star team in 2002 and 2003. In 1996 and 1998, he could have been an All-Star as well

Klay thompson is a great comparison. He's like Allan Houston 2.0

GTRandy true

Him and Grant Hill would have been even better if he stayed with Detroit.

It was lethal. And like the idiots the Knicks are they destroyed it.

The team sucked after Ewing was traded though

GTRandy Finals good they were just the duo all alone 20.0 PPG average

When Kobe had set the Knicks on fire in the Garden I told my homeboys Allan Houston was going to retaliate the next game. Nobody believed me and felt Kobe was going to get at the Knicks again. Sure as you know Allan Houston set the Lakers on fire and Kobe recieved it too

Kobe only guarded Houston once in this game

@@goldenstatewarriors4011 Ask yourself why? Kobe wanted no part on the receiving end. He switched off of Arenas as well when Arenas dropped 60.

I definitely agree with this

Because the '03 knicks were not good enough to be a great regular season team or make it to the finals. Why would MVP be contingent on being a top 5 mid range shooter? Being MVP is more than being able to shoot. He might end up in the HOF, there are many players in that had worse career numbers than Houston.

The reasons why he didn't get voted to the hall of fame or had his jersey retire:1) Way too inconsistent. He could score 40 one night, and single digit the next game2) Subpar defender. He used to get abused by Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller3) For his height, his rebounding number was atrociousHe was just a one-dimensional player to say the least

Gary Thompson not a good idea to compare guys who are playing different positions..the criteria for being put in the HOF can be different depending on what position you play Dikembe Mutombo’s offensive numbers aren’t really all that, but his defensive numbers are outstanding.... that’s why he’s in the HOF..plus, good Center’s have always been a bit of a rare commodity. That’s even moreso the case today. As far as Allan Houston goes...his numbers just aren’t good enough...he only has 14,551 career points.... that’s simply not HOF caliber.. But if he had been able to stay healthier late in his career, been a #1 option more often, he might have made it.

Wu Liwei Dude..... who didn’t get abused by Michael Jordan??? Plus, Reggie miller was as one-dimensional as you can get...he wasn’t much of a rebounder or Defender either... but he’s in the HOF off the strength of the fact that he has over 25,000 career points.

Allan Houstons best playoff moment was helping that 99 squad reach the finals. He was such a great player wasted on those later Knicks teams. I would have loved to seen him on the Spurs, Suns or Nets.

I'll take it a step further. How is it that this generation will refer to the likes of Allan Houston, Latrell Sprewell, and the Bruce Bowen's of the world as "plumbers" and utterly REFUSE to recognize them as legit talent, when they were competing against MJ in the 90s, yet they deem them as part of these "more advanced/skilled players", when they're busy declaring their era as "superior"? Latrell and Allan came into the league in '93 and '94 respectively. But because they played against MJ, these kids will automatically try to deem them as "inferior". But when they're trying to elevate their era in stature, watch how they'll forget this, and all of sudden include both of them in their list of alleged "superior '00s players" LOL!! This generation is a trip...

Yup,,then his contract did the Knicks in

iShortDan dog!! That move kills anyone!! I'm 36 & I still practice that. I'm Wisconsin Lonnie and I approve this message ™

Shaq didn't play in this game

@@fuckthechinesevirus9462 Why not Majin Buu

@@alexl.4362 He was injured

Wazzanomics he is now

He's On 2k20

I always create an allan houston, an accurate one complete with his beautiful jumper

Yeah he's a huge reason why the 99 Knicks made the Finals.

He's also a huge reason their roster was garbage for so long. His contract was one of the worst in league history. Wayyyyyy overpaid.

No way. I blame that on the Knicks coaching system.

@@dagameplayer what does having no cap space and overpaying Houston have to do with the coaching system?

Well for one Allan Houston wouldn't be considered "overpaid" by people like yourself if he were playing for a better team that utilized him better. The man could play period. He earned that money. The team around him not so much.

Got cooked but allegedly he was always guarding the best player lol

He doesn’t hold up the offense either.

@@chairmanoftheboard11 neither would melo had stat held up but he didn’t

cariocabassa H20

More like Jayson Tatum

This aged very well

@@yusufabdullah5008 Not really

Like Hardaway.

gil granada Yep

Jamari Shoals same here, can’t believe I never heard of this guy before..tho he was before my time tbh

He was before my time too... thank god I made my 2k20 build like I did.

+Chris Cuevas Houston was becoming even better. That season he scored 50 points it looked like the following season when they got Van Horn, Houston started off even stronger and was averaging at around 24 points before he went down and ended the season averaging about 18.

Prod. Kiz 😂😭😂😭

Same lol

I got James harden and klay too tho so I know he was probably raw

I got Bradley Beal and Klay

Me too

Kareem Rush?

bitch

Then the Knicks would trade him for three washed up point guards.

that was top of the line back in 2003 lol

fuck devin booker bitch ass nigga

Leonard got his same form

devin book is a far way better ball handler and creator...the only thing they share in common is their height, and shooting stroke maybe

It's Allan

Allan Houston does not have to dribbling alot to get things done. Make it simple and your usually have better results and dont use as much energy. A regular dribble makes you move faster than a crossover. Crossovers slow you down.

Mashburn was lost when he was traded to Miami

Fubon Guardians富邦悍將 True, tbh Mashburn didn’t fit with Miami Heat offense with Mourning and Hardaway being the 1st and 2nd options. It was kinda like when Scottie Pippen teamed up with Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon in the Rockets during the 1999 lockout season. Luckily, Mashburn got traded to the Charlotte Hornets during the 2000 offseason and bounce back with a couple of great seasons with them.

@@Theterminato2013 Yeah the Eddie Jones sign-and-trade in summer 2000 was a blessing in disguise for the Hornets because Mashburn was better than Jones

@@user-di4ec1bk1d True. Btw nice username. Big fan of CPBL here too.

@@realniggashit3 Haha my American friends think they are watching football games with the strange scores

Yes

Chill Kobe been great since high school

Oh yea

His offensive play style is sorta like Jayson Tatum

hahaha nah man

My fave of all time..always said it

he was freaky athletic when he played in Detroit. If he played in this era he would of really dropped 25-28 ppg.
