Eddy Currys House Special
Rotation player
I never said you said he was a bad shooter.
Houston isn't an elite player. But he is an elite shooter.
Houston got respect amongst his teammates and showed leadership on the court. How are you going to bitch about a man who'll go through pain to play basketball for his team? Houston sacrifice his health for the better of the team. You show no appreciation for this and show no understanding what a "leader" is. The difference between Houston and Crawford as leaders is that Houston brought that winning attitude to the Knicks. The 2002-05 Knick teams weren't as good as the previous years, but they played with a lot of heart and toughness, despite being old and under size. Houston and Sprewell were the leaders after Ewing was traded, and once Sprewell departed, Houston took full leadership responsibility. So not only you're wrong on Houston not being an elite shooter, you're also wrong on your definition of a leadership and Houston's status with the Knicks. Research would help this weak arguement you're holding. Don't get frustrated, if you want to look better take the time to do research.
Houston created his own shot a couple of times, he scored 53 points on a couple of good defenders(Fox, Byrant, George).
You sound like you don't know alot about playing basketball, you use a lot of elementary terms that make me laugh when you consider a former NBA all star doesn't know how to create his own shot.
Houston was on an elite level on terms of footwork. His foot faking was a work of art and amongst the best in the NBA, very similar to the likes of Jordan.
Houston had an awesome jab step that got him free whenever he pleased and if he was on fire it was natural for him to go for 30+.
Houston use to toy his defenders with multiple shot fakes and jab steps that made his already picture perfect jumpshot more efficient.
LOL @ Ray Allen being unable to create his own shot. Just shut up already, you're making an ass out of yourself.
Obviously this shows you lack knowledge of basketball techniques in creating space. Crossing over isn't the only way to create your own jumpshot.
Van Gundy tried running Sprewell at the point, not Houston. Houston only average 2 turnovers a game, thats average for a 20 ppg scorer.
You're not helping me because you're not explaining anything. Benard King played in the paint, he wasn't a shooter, his style was comparable to Carmelo Anthony of today. SF with a lot of post skills. He shot 71% from the FT and 10% from 3pt range.
Did I say Allan was the best in NBA history?
I said he was one of the best and definitely was on Rice, and Allen's level. Miller is the best shooter of all time because of his history, famous shooting form, and how he dominated with his shooting.
Bradley and Frazier are from the old days, and Frazier was more of a penetrator than shooter. Houston was obviously the better pure shooter.
You got yourself hanging on a rope here now, you're not providing enough information or even a solid arguement to back up these clown ass statements that Houston isn't an elite shooter, Houston was never a leader, he can't create his shot, the only way to create a shot is with a fancy cross over, and that even Benard King is a better shooter than Houston. You have a history of saying the most ludicrous things here just to get attention on here. Now you own the title of most losingest poster in KO history.
Why have you gone from embarrassing yourself in talking about basketball to now discussing that my dick is "impotent"? You've really lost yourself here.
lol@ you saying I have no clue about basketball. Son I wasn't coaching in college at the age of 19, I was actually playing in college so go put your clipboard down and get me some water scrub.
The only way for someone to create their own shot is off the dribble. His jab step was sweet and his footwork brilliant, definitely a coach's son, but you're not beating anyone solely with that unless it's off a screen, curl, ball movement etc. You need to handle the ball in order to create your own shot Allan had no handle. Allan's biggest knock was that he was one dimensional.
You're wrong Van Gundy did experiment by having Houston run the point but it obviously didn't work because he couldn't handle the ball. Houston only averaged two turnovers because unlike Jamal Crawford he was either smart enough to not put the ball on the floor or Van Gundy would yell in his ear not to.
Houston, nor Sprewell, not even Ewing was the leader of the mid-late 90s teams it was L.J. If you can't comprehend a simple fact like that what can I do?
Again Houston was one of the best shooters but I wouldn't call him elite as I am a very hard marker. Elite is only for three or four people and in my opinion guys like Miller, Rice, Allen, Curry were better shooters then Houston. Allan would be at the top of the list of the next group.
