Allan Houston beendet Karriere
-
NEW YORK, October 17, 2005 – Allan Houston, one of the greatest players in New York Knickerbockers history, today moves from playing professional basketball into the next stage of life. After 12 seasons in the NBA, including nine in New York, the 34-year-old guard finishes his career as one of the most prolific scorers in franchise annals and as the NBA’s 11th best three-point shooter of all-time. A highly-respected man amongst his peers and pillar of the community, Houston will also be forever remembered as one of the purest clutch long-range shooters in NBA history.
“My career as an NBA player and member of the New York Knicks must unfortunately come to an end,” Houston said. "Over the last two years, I have done everything I could possibly do to get back on the court, but injuries to my knee would not allow me to do it. While it is extremely disappointing to not be in a Knick uniform again, I feel that it is in the best interests of my family and the franchise that I move on.

definitv nein er hat die letzten jahre der franchise entscheidend mitbeeinflusst … von daher ist dieses prädikat mehr als gerechtfertigt …
an dieser stelle sei an seinen fast-buzzer in miami erinnert, der die new yorker cinderella-story 99 ermöglicht hat …
letztendlich konnte er ja nix dafür, dass ihm layden die 100 millionen dollar an die backe klatscht …
@sonics sorry, falschen button gedrückt …
