I hate Melo but even I like him more than H20.
Rose is not the answer.

True. My problem was the post 1999 H20. The one that, due to injury or for other reasons under performed after the max contract. 1999 was amazing but it was also his contract year. Many of the same people that are killing Melo for possibly getting the max were telling me Houston was only human for taking the max. He barely defended or rebounded or passed the ball but Melo gets called a ball hog despite having a better FG%. I remember going back and forth with so many people, some that still post here today.
Having said that, what true knick fan will not have fond memories of H20 for doing this: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

In a lot of ways Houston became the poster boy for Knick stupidity. They bid against themselves giving him a max deal. Then he gets hurt and is a $100mm jump shooter. Hard to blame Houston for that. Always thought he played hard. Different player then spree

Didn't H2O have micro fracture surgery twice, and the Knicks kept it quiet? I think that played a big part in his decline after 1999, rather than it being a case of him just cashing in. |

In classic knick fashion we paid him like a franchise player But you're making out that he's trash- getting to 2nd place is a huge achievement. By any chance, is this you? |

Can we talk more about Hornacek vs Houston? That ended way too prematurely. Perhaps that can be the next idiotic poll
 so here is what phil is thinking ....

Melo might suhuck this season late in games, but you don't have to worry about what exit ramp he's taken. He's there. This, of course, might cause some people to put the super power of invisibility as a plus compared to our Mooby. |
