NEW YORK, October 20, 2007 – New York Knickerbockers guard Allan Houston has decided to end his comeback with the team. "After much consideration, I have decided to end my comeback with the Knicks,” Houston said. “While my body and my knees, in particular, feel fine, I know what is required for me to be truly effective in the NBA again, and it involves a timing and progression that would not be fair to Isiah and the Knicks right now. With the season opening less than two weeks away, I think it is best for the team to move on without me. I appreciate the opportunity that Isiah and the Knicks have given me, and I wish the team nothing but success." http://www.nba.com/news/houston_ends_comeback_071020.html
You know...I do have to say that was a uncommon thing he has done. He's done and he admits it instead of trying to come back and drag everyone else down. *cough*Roger Clemens*cough*
Translation: This whole thing was a waste of time for everyone involved. When you are old and have been out of the league for 2 years because of knee problems, you can't join a team 10 days after camp starts and expect to get a roster spot. Allan Houston is officially done as an NBA player. I suppose the only reason this charade happened was because Houston expected his buddy Dolan to guarantee him a roster spot. Allan Houston is a nice guy. Now he can go back to enjoying that unbelievably ridiculous final contract the Knicks gave him.
