This is why I don't like hearing all ads talk about basketball there's one person who is a multiple time champion that stands out for me his name is Klay Thompson
It is almost ironic how similar Allan Houston and Ray Allen were. That is actually the case for their personality, their perimeter shooting ability, their calmness on the court, and their unexpected athleticism in attacking the basket. Peace to both Allan Houston and Ray Allen.
When Kobe was drafted I started watching basketball and Houston and the Knicks were the first team I watched play. Then I went down the NBA rabbit hole and literally got addicted to the NBA 😂. I had the NBA classic channel that back in the 90's would play old games and old playoff series 24/7. My television stayed on that channel, I've watched more old basketball than most fans my age.
He was so generally reserved that that air punch in the 99 playoffs eliminating the Heat felt like blew the arena up like the Joker. It was so out of character (and yet, so in character) for him that seeing it was almost jarring! I'm geeked right now seeing it, over 25 years later!
How nice was he? In my Q-Tip voice, " Yo that kid was Nice". Jumper was wet before Book's J(catch that?). He could do it all. You didn't want to leave him open.
Id say he compares to a prime klay in todays game.. he didnt need alot of dribbles to get to his spots and score.. he wasnt as good a shooter as klay but still very very good but he was more athletic

Allen Houston was better than Tracy McGrady.
The rumor is they still paying him til this day😂
AH was like a poor man's Grant Hill.

That my cousin….
Mj and Reggie shut that down
wow!! this brings back memories. Forgot about Allan Houston…..SHOULD never be forgotten. Great tribute!! Nice clips. HE was SMOOTH, calculated, deadly
giving Klay Thompson
Solid SG player. On Steve Smith type level. A little under Glenn Rice, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond type players

Allan Houston was a DAWG, iykyk
My guy Allen Houston #20💯🟠🔵
I wish the pistons would have kept him
His Father Coached at Male High and was a very nice person.
Alan was the man in new york – man that whole championship team –
He’s my designated killer on PS NBA live.
Best pull up jumper in history, best shooting form ever 😊
Allen Houston was the business remember his days at Tennessee 😮

I KNEW THAT GUY WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING TO DEAL WITH IN THE NBA WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE(TENNESSEE)!
What if he stayed in Detroit with a healthy Grant Hill?
At first appears Mr. David Wood
Us Heat fans know him well, and hate him equally as well 😂
Thought Starks was better but solid backcourt,,Miami always gave them problems couldn't understand how 😮
Will definitely outshoot the NBA nowadays, I definitely think you can trade punches with Klay Thompson
Actually, Larry Johnson was also pure scorer. New York should've at gone to the finals but Jordan was in the East.
I always compared Booker to Houston
I loved his shooting form.
At the time he was the best shooter ever
Id say he compares to a prime klay in todays game.. he didnt need alot of dribbles to get to his spots and score.. he wasnt as good a shooter as klay but still very very good but he was more athletic
Knicks Allen Houston sucked
Allan Houston, Steve Smith, Mitch Richmond, Glen Rice Etc…… All Were Buckets & All Would've Did Great In This Era
Louisville Legend
Top 5 of my least favorite player…
One of the best Shooters off the dribble going to his right….
His percentages dropped heavily going left
Devin booker
One of the best shooting forms ever.
Allan Houston would be basically Cj McColloum
As soon as the Knicks signed him, that huge contract he got injured. I couldn't stand this guy, I'm a Knicks fan 💯
Devin Booker type
He was a household name before I started watching, those guys are usually pretty tough from the things I hear
