Allan Houston: Overlooked star during the NY Knicks transition out of the Patrick Ewing era | FPP

- Allan Houston had an incredible career the university of Tennessee, leaving the Volunteers as the best player in program history and arguably the best player in SEC history. He would be drafted to the NBA by the Detroit Pistons who were transitioning out of their bad boy era, where he would spend 3 seasons, eventually becoming a sidekick to a young Grant Hill. Then in 1996, he would sign with the New York Knicks where he would have an incredible run and become one of the least talked about legends in Knicks history as his sweet shooting and durability served the Knicks for years first with an aging Patrick Ewing and an acquired Latrell Sprewell to help the Knicks make an improbably 1999 Finals run. Then when Ewing was traded, Houston and Sprewell became a great duo in New York for a few more years, keeping them relevant. Unfortunately, knee injuries that he had spent years playing through finally became too much and after an incredibly durable decade of play, he broke down in his final 2 years, retiring unexpectedly after the 2005 season. But in 2001 he had signed a massive extension with the Knicks which is considered the inspiration for the amnesty clause, due to Houston’s injuries rendering him incapable of playing, but still owed a lot of money, but it’s unfair that this is what he’s most synonymous with as the “Allan Houston rule” was never even used on Allan Houston. So, today we’re going to look at the positive side of his underrated career.

As a older guy this channel is by far my favorite! I'm waiting for the Terry Cummings, Alvin Robertson, Willie Anderson videos
I'm waiting on the Paxon brothers, Vern Fleming and Purvis Short.
Who who n who?
Same here bro
Those would be classic players to report on.
Agree totally
Allan's jumpshot was poetry. A class act, through and through.
facts...his knees failed, dude could shoot....him and spree and and camby man and the whole knicks squad....loved that year bro larry johnson and chris childs too wow...charlie ward .....loved them
People don't get microfracture surgery anymore
Houston was a smooth Ray Allen, When it came to shooting.
@@RolandBullock-ej8wlThat was a fun Knicks team to watch.
Let's go, Allan was a beast.
Truly! I forgot he'd got drafted back to back with Lindsey. Loved watching him ballout!
#TogetherEvery1AchievesMore TEAM‼️
Bernard King played in Tennessee Bro Ham
One of my favorite players in the 90’s pretty Jump shot !!
I will never forget Allan Houston. I remember the excitement and sheer motivating force he was in the early - mid 90's. I know people viewed him as the underdog or the quiet star, but in my view, he was everything clutch that he needed to be in the playoffs, especially in the 98-99 lockout season. Thanks, Allan Houston, for everything.
Definitely an underrated Knicks star. Often a "what could have been" conversation piece and unjustly so.
Right after MJs retirement in 98, Pat Riley called him the best 2-guard in the league. This was during about a two year stretch before Kobe came into his own, AI played full-time at the 2 and Vince Carter and T-Mac made a name for themselves. Crazy that his knee problems seemed to get him out of nowhere. He also always seemed to be able to step up in the playoffs (except for 2001)
It sucked that T-Mac never was on any great teams. He stepped up, but nobody else did. I though for sure he and Ming would have gone further, but a couple bad breaks, then Mings and McGrady’s injuries all cost him. For a time in McGrady’s days, in the early 2000’s, there was a 3 year stretch where he outplayed Kobe, he just didn’t have the team
Success
One of the best basketball channels on RUclips
Ong dude
My all time fave shooting form. Such sweet release
Houston had such beautiful form on his jumper. Text book perfection.
very underrated player. when he was on...he was fun to watch with that jumper
His jumper was pure!
Yooooo you did it thanks man I appreciate this one Allen Houston was water I remember him putting up 53 on Kobe in 2003 which was the most ever against him until Gilbert put up 60 on him in 2007
One of my top 5 players!! Smoother than butter 🔶🔷‼️😤
Best jumper shooting form in da 90s
Ray Allen would like to have a word with you. But yeah, Houston was as smooth as they come.
Definitely an excellent shooter. There were guys like Ray Allen and Glen Rice also back then
bill cartwright would like to have a word with you
@@rogdawg123 😄 Cartwright was something else, yeah. Not particularly smooth, but instantly recognizable. 😄
Remember Pistons first drafted him. Really good
Do Cliff Robinson next!! he was ahead of his time & played until his 40's .
Cliff Robinson would be fantastic
Yes please. Fun fact: Cliff's brother Craig played for Van Gundy's dad in junior college.
Him and Jerome Kersey would be a great one.
Yes I've been requesting that video as well
I'm born 1979 in Belgrade and watch those years from 1986-2006 like, after that NBA style changed with times, and I personally still find myself watching some clasSIC games from Shawn Kemp's Sonics, Cliff's Blazers, KJ and after JK's SUNS, Glen Ryce got his video and so on, the list is waaaaaaaaaaay too long, so step up those great vids you producing, it's real deal!
these are great videos and an amazing series....keep makin them, ill keep watchin
I watched Allan and patterned my game after him..always had a very good form damn near perfect..him and ray allen are the 2 best shooters to me
That 99 knicks team is my all time favorite underdog
AWESOME!!! my favourite SG all time
He definitely underachieved. He could've been the next superstar in NY after Ewing.
Bro you have a good platform. You do a good job in your lane.
Frank layden, a rookie gm for the knicks and not so shrewd, outbid themselves for Allan with that 100mil. No other team would have made him that kind of an offer. Allan was one of my favorite players and glad he stayed within the organisation.
My all time favorite player Mr Allan Houston H20 baby
Allan Houston had a smooth shot and he was a good player that made a huge impact for the New York Knicks and he had a good career in the NBA. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Allan Houston became my favorite player after jordan retired in 98
Yessss my fave Knick in the late 90's! going good on the channel man! I think you should do Mitch Richmond, I think he is a great, who's career has been ignored by a lot of people.
Thank you
When he left Detroit in 96, I was sick😫
Houston was one of the best 3pt shooters I ever saw - he would be a monster these days.
I would love to see you do some defensive monsters like Michael Cooper (HOW IS HE NOT IN THE HALL???), Ben Wallace, and one of my favorites -Alvin Robertson. He could score efficiently and was a 4 time all star, 6 time all NBA defensive team and a 3 time steals champ before he even turned 30. He also had 7 straight seasons of averaging over 2.6 steals a game while averaging over five rebounds a game, 6 assists a game while never averaging under 13 points a game in any of those seasons. While also winning DPOY AND Most Improved player award in '85-'86. Super underrated among shooting guards and is never talked about as injuries derailed his career too soon. Not to mention playing in the same era as a PRIME MJ and a prime Sidney Moncrief (who is another guy you should DEFINITELY do) who was considered by many the BEST defender in the league among guards. But I've heard some all time greats say he was one of the strongest, most feared, and most respected defenders in the league. Some guys were even afraid of him. In fact he and Sidney Moncrief's accomplishments are nearly identical and they accomplished all their accolades before their 30s and injuries cut both their careers short. But only Sidney is in the HOF. Though Sid was a slightly better scorer. Please do either of those two guys as nobody does these types of videos better. Great research and presentation brother. Thank you so much as I'm home laid up with an injury, unable to work or even walk too much, and besides my gaming PC, your channel is getting me through the boredom. So thanks.
Real Knicks fans know it's not that H20 was overlooked or underappreciated,
Just bad timing when injuries took him.
He was just entering prime sniper mode
Had like 2 50 point games then.......😢
Jason Richardson
Allan was so cold with that jumper brah smh the man was a killer too
New to the channel , grew up in the 90s . Awesome channel bud
yesss i knew he was gonna be next! great stuff!
Great shooter. Had his jersey as a kid, white Knicks with orange "New York"
I’m trying to get that jersey
H20 was one of my favorite players growing up in NY. That 1999 finals run will always be special. But in retrospect, something always held him back from being a true superstar. As the video brought up, he could have 30 points one night then single digits the next. His bag was limited - mostly a jump shooter that got streakier later in his career, and he wasn't a killer alpha dog type so if the shot wasn't falling, he would get passive and defer. Moreover he wasn't a good enough defender or playmaker who could affect the game in other ways if he couldn't score. Still, had a great work ethic and A+ character guy, but just one of those players who could average 20 ppg on a bad team but would be a 2nd or 3rd option on a good one.
0:00 This is one of my favorite Dan Majerle highlights! Majerle is saying, "In my prime, 1992-93, I might have blocked that shot. Instead, in 1998-99, I could barely get off the ground anymore."
Dale Ellis is another underrated star, that would be a good one.
Allan.....Houston🏀
Houston was Legit 100…!!!
Thank U Lord for this channel
Wow I love this Chanel the drawings of the player's are epic but the content great Narrating its like stepping into a time machine makes me feel like I'm still in this golden Era Allan definitely was my dude smooth shot maker cool shot taker in him and Grant didn't see eye 2 eye only because houston was being groomed to be the number 1 option in Grant wasn't hearing non of that so the knicks made him a huge offer sheet in the rest is history I think him and hill would've beat that 96 bulls team that 97 and 98 bulls sqad but they didn't really get along in that's what pissed Joe dumas off just think Joe dumas Allan houston and a prime Grant Hill yeah it would've been the running of the pistons lol
dude i love your content, its great looking back at the players that i watched growing up. Always was a big fan of Houston. Peace from Sydney Aus.
Smooth jump shooter was just alil frustrated that he didn't go to the basket more
That Knicks Team was Heavy. Tim Duncan was amazing though.
Ps Houston was in a movie with Raekwon and Power from Wu Tang.
Houston was a great number 2 player. The knicks had him as their number 1 for years. Even when he wasn’t (Patrick). Patrick screwed the team getting involved in management decisions, that DA finger roll in the pacer’s series, and virtually retiring in the paint with that turnaround jumper and never going to the hole anymore.
Don’t come for me. I’m still a Ewing fan to this day. Had 3 pairs of his adidas and his warmup jacket.
I would love to see a profile on Hedo Turkoglu
Its too bad hes just known nowadays for a bad contract cause he was a very good player at his prime
God I love this channel
Oh and Doug Christie, Bobby Jackson, Ron mercer video as well
The fact this man averaged no less than 20ppg in a power 5 conference with no tournament berth has gotta be the sickest abuse of talent ever seen. Yall couldn't get ONE nba prospect to help!?
Gave kobe 53 😤😤 career high
Great!
Steve Smith and Glenn Robinson
Love the series. Keep up the good work. There are so many players from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s you can do. A couple suggestions would be Tom Chambers, Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle, Darrell Griffith, Rickey Green, etc. Here’s another one. I’m a die hard Jazz fan, and people forget the impact Mark Eaton had on the game. Sure, he wasn’t a scorer at all. Had no offensive game. But his defense was top notch. 2 time DPOY, 3rd in all time blocks, and holds the NBA all time records for most blocks in a season and highest season average. He had a very short career that lasted 10 years due to back and knee problems. How he got started was crazy to. After not receiving any offers out of high school he went on to be a car mechanic. It was there where he got recognized and was asked to join UCLA. I grew up watching Eaton and those young Jazz teams. I met Eaton when I was 4yrs old, got his autograph, attended a couple of his camps, and a year prior to his death, saw him again at a store, where he recognized me, had a small chat, shook hands and off he went. He will always be my most favorite player of all time.
I second Alvin Robertson. Can't believe no nba tubers have put a video or on him yet!
That background music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.. Larry Johnson or Alonzo Mourning videos would be much appreciated!!
Great work. Id love to see Derric Coleman
He’s most famous for helping Hamish and Andy overcome those guys in street basketball
Can you make a video about him an spree being an underrated Duo
Knicks had series of great shooters, Carl Braun, Guerin, in the days
Kevin Martin
Prototypical SG
We need a Mark Price or Kevin Williis video
Imagine if Allan Houston played for the Rockets. His uniform would say "Houston" on the front and back.
H2O game flows like water 💦

He was as good as Ray Allen during his prime
If it wasn't for injury I believe he would have been a Hall of fame player
Nah I doubt it bro. Houston didn’t get hurt until he was in his 30s already
You should do one on grant hill or brandon roy
He was a poilshed player even in college. 48% from the field as a shooting guard is crazy. And 55% in the nba. Top notch efficiency.
His timeline just never matched up with Ewings. The early 2000’s version of Alan Houston paired with the early 90s version of Patrick Ewing definitely wins a championship. H20 was much more consistent and a better shooter than Starks. Starks was a better defender and was more of a heart and energy player, but Houston was the better player at his peak.
Can you do Latrell Sprewell
Jeff Malone should be next. Great stuff🤔
Quiet Killer from deep. WET!
Ewing getting hurt put more pressure on alan and sprewell
Please do Cat Mobley
Remember Bernard King attended U T.
Houston wore #20 and was good for 20pts a night
I love Allan Houston, but hes not the best Vols player. That honor goes to Bernard King. Everything else is 🔥
Steven Smith
Hang on I got to say one thing I live in East Tennessee and don't get me wrong loved Allan Houston I really did but I would have to argue that Bernard King was better as a volunteer then Allan Houston was see I live in Johnson City which has a little college called ETSU I don't remember exactly what year it was it was early 90s but we had a player at ETSU by the name of Keith Jennings or if they called him Mr. Jennings it was only like 55 or 5/6 something like that short guy UT when they had Allan Houston when you're in when I say they beat them it was pretty one-sided like I was shocked I want to say that we actually made the dance that year and UT didn't I might be wrong about that part so don't quote me on that one but yeah I actually have to say the greatest basketball UT player of all time is Bernard King also shoutout to Kevin Nash you played basketball UT as well and yes that Kevin Nash
Bernard king the best player from Tennessee but Allan Houston is close
Also do Mutombo
Please do latrell sprewell please
Definitely will be getting to him in the future
Mark Jackson in a Bible study group!!
He is who Devin Booker plays like.
Back when basketball players had to actually have skills vs today of just shooting 3 pointers all day.
Gilbert arenas
agent 0 🔥🔥
Wasn’t the first smart guy, Gilbert Arenas?
Do purvis short
Yup H20🙌🏽
H 20 Nice
Do joe smith
I LOVED ALLEN Houston but the reality is that he was not a guy you could built around unless you Also had a dominant center. His style of play was better off to compliment another superstar.
Allen was good but his defense probably gave up as many as he put up
Casual fans today only look at the offensive side of the ball. He definitely gave a lot of his points back on the other end
Allan houston is not better than bernard king
