Allan Houston: most underrated Guard of the last generation?

[NYK Loyalist]

His game reminded me of Rays

Definitely very similar games. In their prime I would take Ray because I always felt he was much better off the dribble and at getting to the rim than h20 but before the injuries they were close.

Him and his pops at Tennessee were Black Excellence personified..



He got robbed for an Oscar nomination in his starring role in Black and White also

Allan dropped 50 on Ray Allen when he was on the bucs too

If it wasn't for injuries

Not if you account for that contract that he got paid until 2012 for.

Allan Houston got that Joe Johnson treatment...

Very good shooting guards who just weren't superstar level players but got paid so much money that it turned everybody against them and amped the criticism level up towards them.

Pretty much this

Five star thread. I remember during one off season with the Pistons he worked on his handles and vertical and came back beasting the next season. Him and Grant were the future . Dude consistently gave Kobe that work too.

great shooter with a flawless J. of course, besides scoring, he can't do shyt else for your team. kinda like reggie miller with slightly better handles.

Put Allan Houston as the starting 2 next to Rose or Lillard w/ Noah in the post with the outlet pass off of an offensive board...

THat team, w/ decent role players are winning a chip...

I remeber being a kid with Alan Houston & Latrell Sprewell being my favorite players..

I actually thought I was going to name my first son "Allan-Latrell".

The problem w/ Houston...he was too much of a nice guy...he didn't have that killer instinct.

I used to get frustrated...I would see Iverson throw up 35 shots & score 25..and I used to ponder what if Houston, with that wet jumper, started to throw up 30 shots a game...

If he had Iverson or even Sprewell's heart...dude would have been a SERIOUS PROBLEM.

I really liked that team with him and Spree.

Don't hear his name brought up too often, he may be underrated I suppose.

Remembers Sprewell/Houston Knicks: my highschool years

...Alan was the dude until his foot dismantled

And, he put us in the hole for $100 milly
