Having fathers are very important. How many times in this interview do you hear Allan say his father told him, he coached him, he wrote a letter to him. His father was involved in his life.
Real Knicks fans are truly grateful for this interview.
Absolutely💚 pure shooter for real.
Allan was one of the most aesthetically pleasing players to watch. Beautiful stroke. Always good to see players taking care of themselves in retirement
Glad that this show exist , so many great players are forgotten & we never knew their story . It’s funny that you guys are talking about Derek Anderson , I saw him at Restaurant one month ago in Louisville Ky .
Great interview fellas , you guys really care about people to host a show like this . Media do a great disservice to ballers once they are retired . Hold people close man , that’s what I’m talking bout .
Absolutely!

More Blessings to Allan Houston. The man is & was underrated & made the NY Knicks interesting from 1999-2005.

The Knucklehead Podcast is the best basketball podcast ever
Facts 🙌🏽
No doubt
..its not lmao but its def good
@T.R.O.YAH oh hell yeah! Luv that 1st question they ask....... When you got to the league... who was the 1st person to bust your a%$!!! Lmfao😂😂😂
Amen 🙏🏾 💙
Thanks Q and D. Miles for bringing on Allan Houston he is and will always be one of my favorite players!!
Same here
Ditto! I met him at the airport in Houston, and he was so humble and very much a gentleman.
Allan Houston was so cold. He was always one of my favorite players. His game was so smooth. As a Spurs fan, I always respected that New York back court of Houston and Sprewell.
spree played SF so technically he was a front court player/slasher but agreed they were a great combo
@@Sam-ji1fu lol just because he is listed as SF doesn't mean he played like a SF casual
@@NoName-cn3cp casual? I been watching basketball longer than you been alive probably. Spree was a small forward when was with the Knicks, if you don't believe that than you're the one who's a casual kid
@@Sam-ji1fu watching basketball for so long and you still haven't realized basketball "positions" were invented for casuals to follow the game easier? Lol ok champ you're the best!
@@NoName-cn3cp the era of today's "position-less" basketball is different than from 20+ years ago where it did matter. You have nothing better to say so you label someone as "casual" , do better kid
Bring on Eddie jones
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite player
Only the real ones remember the Lakers "97-98" team.
@@robertcomfort2186 no 94 95
@@zo62 did that team make the playoffs?
Great interview, as always. Allan Houston had one of the most beautiful jumpers in NBA history.
Q be having me laughing off of his laugh alone 🤣
He be egging stuff on with his laugh too
Have you seen the interview with Glenn Big Baby Davis? Thats been my favorite one all time because Q was having a blast and dropping comedy gold.
@@drew8703 I gotta peep that one bro! 🤣
@@2Faded247 Q told this story about Big Baby and a Secret Santa event when they were on the same team that I still think was the funniest moment in the series thus far -- Q got invested in portraying and acting out the events.
John Starks was my favorite player and when H2O came to NY and took his spot I was mad for about 3 games.Allen became the guy I modeled my offensive game after and my favorite player until LBJ. respect H20
Latrell Sprewell took John Stark spot
@@dariushodges5328 spree didn't come til 98 H20 came 96-97 Starks was moved to the bench and won 6th man of the yr. I lived it don't try to correct me lol
@@christianjennings4343 yep I was mad when he left us in Detroit for the Knicks on the summer of 96
For about 3 games 🤣
@@elbowgang9715 How Detroit let him go, I’ll never understand. Should’ve let him and Grant develop together.
Yooo the Knuckleheads Pod are on a sweet run right now, is everyone noticing who they’ve been interviewing lately 🔥
Incredible run
Yes sir
Quality
Facts
Amazing sequence of players and personalities 🔥🔥
I got to know Allan & his family a little bit for several years because he was a long time member of a church I joined in Greenwich CT. This is a great interview, and there's something very glaring about it. Very little Profanity!!! Why??? Because Allan is a Christian!!! And I have to believe that they discussed that before they did the interview to make sure there was none of it. And it's refreshing to hear a great conversation without hearing every 4 letter word in the middle of it to make your point. And that's a real blessing & shows it's not needed to communicate...Well, DM & Q did say a couple!
love Allen Houston, I came to the US/Canada as an immigrant when I was young so basketball was also foreign to me. I immediately fell in love with nba and particularly with the Knicks at the time. I remember Allan had a silky smooth jumper, dude was always calm and collected too. Good memories
Allan Houston had the textbook jumper. His form was literally perfect. I'm a LA native and naturally a Kobe fan, but I wanted my shooting form to be more like Allan Houston than Kobe....
100% I remember seeing Klay for the first time in college and I knew he was going to be good because his jumper looked so smooth and it reminded me of Allan’s.
How these dudes get these ogs to show up and talk is so pure this why we need shows like this they even got steve Francis for an interview
Allan is 1 of those players I would love to see in today’s game because he would’ve averaged so much more now. He averaged 19 pts but back in the 90’s & early 00’s that’s equivalent to 27 pts in today’s game. But unfortunately his numbers don’t show his true talent
Dam i didn't kno he averaged that much. Thats impressive. Especially back then. Wen u look at some of the final scores back in the day. He wuz getting it in
He’s easily better than klay🤷♂️
@@Tawknmysht klay got chips an he contributed Allan Houston was a good player but not one of the greats his resume can’t touch klay
@@GarethBloodstone a player’s resume has more to do with the organization/front office. Skill is skill.
@@Artislife1992 explain
Allen doesn't get enough credit at all that man is the most forgotten superstar I've ever seen
Superstar? You have to be kidding me. I’m a Knick fan and Allan Houston was no “superstar.” He was just paid superstar money. He was a solid to very good player who only made an all-star team twice.
@@josecenteno08 yea that 100 million dollar 💵 contract set us back and then he got hurt so we were screwed
@@Kingbossdon exactly. I’m not hatin on him. But you can’t call this man a superstar. He was a one-dimensional player. During his time you’re talking prime KG, Duncan, AI, Kobe, Shaq. Those are superstars.
so forgotten we sometimes mistake the a for an e
Yea nobody cares about anything other than Jordan from that era...in order to make jordan the goat...they have to make it seem like the league was full of burst...#JordanEffect
Me and my pops never had a great relationship but he was a Knicks fan and my first jersey I remember receiving was an Allan Houston jersey he gave me. I loved H2O and hated seeing his injuries. Legend.
This is my story but Iverson lol
Starks was trash compared to Allen lol
A healthy houston and marbury would have been deadly together
Really enjoyed this interview. I must say how impressed at how much many of these players remember after all these years. Such an articulate and eloquent speaker.
LEGENDARY EPISODE
I LISTENED TWICE
ONCE AT HOME
ONCE AT WORK
NOW IM WATCHING
Whoever Liked The Comment Bless yall
Strive for Greatness
This definitely made my day. One of my favorite SG Allan Houston - H20.
Who remembers how beautiful his turn around jump shot was?
My favorite NBA player is Allan Houston love this guy man. Grew up watching him play
Edit: got to say that Charlie Ward is my favorite all time PG love both of these men because they are both educated men who attended school and are god fearing men
Same my guy.
The GOAT basketball podcast! I be at home like damn I wonder WHO next 🍾
Love how the fellas let their guest speak without constant interruptions!!!
H2O was a beast dawg. RIP Freddie D. My homeboy from NOLA was a major Knick and Allan Houston fan. 😀😁
My man has an authenticity that’s unmatched
Underrated star back in his day! Super humble to respect H20
As a knicks since I was 14 and now I’m 46. He had one of the prettiest jump shots from the crossover. Glad to watch this one.
Q & D-Miles y'all just showing out with these guest keep it up 👍
Them niggaz on 🔥🔥🔥
" The Smoothness that Allan Houston Got when he shoot " Salute to knuckleheads for another dope Episode. I been ah Allan Houston aka H20 fan since his days at Tennessee. He gave props to Doug West Most people don't know or remember him and his game. Time flies fast Wow He is 51 years young & still a cool dude. looking forward to who the next Guest is going to be, salute from Chicago #Dantana773
The Cormega quote 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I used to use Doug West on NBA Jam TE for sega genesis
@@kayfuller7304 only the real know... word
Cormega 💪🏿
When Darius gave Q that death stare for that comment about the Arch 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I gotta say this, Fam: The Knuckleheads show is the best sports related show on all the internet, cable and network television combined. Hands down.
So Smooth. Wish him and Grant stayed in Detroit..dynamic combo! His jumper in this current style of the NBA would be even more lethal..so smooth..those Heat v Knicks match-up were dog fights. Appreciate this one. Would love to see, Sam Cassell on here. Bmores finest!
SN I love hearing DMiles say. MAC-DONALDs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People forget he started his career in the D with G.Hill
I hate how 2k doesn’t give him the respect he deserves
Allan Houston one of the most underrated players ever!!! I will never forget watching him give the great Kobe Bryant 50 in LA
I love the story about his dad getting the UT job. Family over everything!👍🏿
Houston was a bucket getter! 💯
Devin Booker is the modern day Allan Houston!!!...his jumper was a work of art...dude game was too smooth 👌
Agreed...
Nice comp!
Great comparison. Not too many players have the pull up midrange on the baseline anymore
@@mickmcfarland7976 you right bruh...Allan Houston was king of the midrange baseline jumper...Mitch Richmond's jumper was silky too!...had sweet midrange game also aaaand did dirt on the post too lol
@@mariobrown701 Bernard king,Jamal Wilkes Walter Davis Scott wedman would like to speak
What a good spirited man 💯🙏🏾
Class personified
@@themoshigh 💯
Knuckleheads the BEST content on the Players Tribune!
Houston had the most perfect form on his jumper. Just beautiful. Made you think it was always dropping all bottoms.
One of my favorite players growing up, had the best looking jumpers of all time imo
"once a Knick, always a Knick!" Great interview fellas, you had a real New York Legend. Our Knicks will return to glory, and when we do, oh it's on.
Allan Houston is still looking young. Drinking lots of water helps you stay young. He's always been a great shooter and very humble. Glad he was part of the 1990s New York Knicks.
One of the Early years Greatest Shooters of the league🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite Knicks
One of my ALL TIME Knick Fave's!! 💯 H20's jumper was wet!! I remember I was stationed in England and my Mentor was like Yo.. We jus got Allan Houston for Detroit.. PURE SHOOTER!!! Even though we were 5 hours ahead of East Coast time.. we not missing the Knicks goin hard against everybody!! We didn't get that ring but my got some classic games that took away our homesickness!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Much Respect Q and D.. whole interview was 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👑👑
I'm in Knoxville, Tn and this guy Allan was my favorite player growing up. Don't know if you will read this comment but been wanting to tell you(Allan) & Dale Ellis, thank you for helping me with my jump shot. Your father Wade as well. I went to camp at UT the year you got drafted and I was rebounding for you while you were working out. I will never forget, all the other kids left and I stayed rebounded for you. But been trying to listen out for when you are in the city so I can tell you to your face, thank you. I pass those lesson y'all taught me to my son. He knows nothing about you but I tell him you and Devin Booker are damn near the same.
H20 is one of the most fitting and DOPEST nicknames of all time 🔥🔥🔥
Allan Houston straight bucket!!!!!!!!
Salute for the bangers back to back to back 💪🏾💪🏾
Knicks Nationwide #20 🏀💯
Another dope one fellas!!! H2O is a class act
Would love to see a Chicago Preps reunion on the podcast. The entire crew. Anybody that hooped that is 35 - 40 knows that show was a hit. First glimpse of a young Q-Rich and Tyson Chandler.
The crew
- Dockery
-Curry
-Kleckner
-J. Straight
- Bynum
That show was real time, high school hoops. Incredible show.
Don’t forget Luther Head
Let go can’t lie y’all on fire right now keep it rolling ✌🏾
Met dude a few times at his basketball camp in the city(Louisville). He was a coo dude we was really learning how to hoop for real. Real basketball technique
Thank you" Knuckleheads," for this interview 🙏
I remember H2O being UNSTOPPABLE on the original NBA 2k for sega Dreamcast. CPU Use to light me up as him
Another WINNER. Keep up the good work. 1 million subs.- right around the corner.
What a fantastic interview! You guys are allowing people to just tell their story. I love it! Great work by all. Please continue to do what you are doing.
They keep em coming and that's a great thing.
Allan saying that he had to PRAY about his decision as a junior in college is SO significant....he had to really find HIS path instead of just following everyone & everything he was seeing happen around him. Q & D....y'all have done it again, fellas!! great episode ✊🏿
Thank you for this! My fav Knick
I was a huge Knicks fan as a kid Thunder and Lightning Ewing and Starks!! Allen came to the squad and we had a chance forealZ! Ewing missed a left hand layup against the Houston. I’ll never forget that. As a kid seeing Ewing and those knee braces i knew then he was on his way out. Allen kept us in the mix with Spree. Great interview brought back hella memories
Yall were in your BAG with the questions on this 1.... This is one of the best interviews
Knuckleheads with another one ....... I love yall podcast
Looking forward to this one!
Shout out for the mention of Darrell "Dr. Dunkenstein" Griffith!!
Lets gooo Allan Houston 🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a Pistons fan, salute to Allan Houston. Him and GHill were youngsters that gave eveything during their time here in Detroit, but we needed a stronger and deeper squad to really compete for a Championship during the Playoffs.
I remember when Houston dropped 50 on the Lakers back in 2003. I watched that game live.
He lit Mamba up for 56pts
I been waiting on this one!! yall are officially among my top podcasts. keep it going
Im a DMV guy BUT LOVED the knicks When PAT came and even more when Allan came
This is what you want hoop legends telling dem hoop stories. I love it!!!
Og look healthy as hell
Salute To A Houston 1 of my favorite Knicks
Good to see Allan Houston after all these years and I will never forget that heartbreaking shot he hit against my Heat, still hurts to this day 🤣🤣
Those battles in Rupp and Freedom Hall was legendary! Our 1988 Ballard Bruin team was tough.
Major props to D Miles and Q Richardson, for having the best basketball podcast out!
Mr. Silk smooth himself! He's dropped some names! Great interview and I encourage anyone to research any of those names mentioned that you hadn't heard of. Specifically, his pops. Legends in their own right.
I live in Louisville and I’ve been heard Allan Houston’s story. Class act, bright guy.
Too This Day!! I still do the Allan Houston Game Winner Celebration, When he runs and punches the air... CLASSIC!!!
Allan Houston had the sweetest form on
his jumpshot I ever saw, him and G Hill was a problem for the league with the Pistons!
This Pod just gets better and better
COACH DOUG WEST NEEDS TO BE ON THE SHOW !!!! The man was my high school coach and literally change the way I viewed the game forever . And he’s a boxer
Man man how can you not love the knuckleheads podcast loving the sport of basketball and hear all these great stories of great players it's why I don't get involved with the championship stuff it's the excitement these players bring to the game it was fun to watch h20 spree Larry Johnson Camby Kurt Thomas them battles with the heat was something else
My favorite Knick period 🙏
I have such a knew found respect for Allan Houston after this ep !
Y'all been killing it for a few years. I just wanna add to the request list. Steve Smith, Coach Tom Izzo, Coach Jay Wright, Ben Wallace, McDysse. Shawn Respert, Hollis Price, Shay Seals. #2, if the Knuckleheads and All the Smoke would clash worlds once every 6 months, I'd pay for that episode. Much respect to what you guys are doing.
love the series
This is the best pod , awesome guest family
Love the show, big fan of yall two being from Illinois. I wish yall could incorporate small clips or pictures of some of the people or players that are brought up during the conversation to just put a face to the names for the younger audience or those who wanna tap into the history of game. Keep em coming 😎💯
As an old school raptors fan, we feared this man…90s knick fans even booed the Canadian anthem.
Listening to this interview while watching vintage H20 drop 53 of dem thangs on LAL in '03, gave the whole team work, Mamba included!!!
