Because the '03 knicks were not good enough to be a great regular season team or make it to the finals. Why would MVP be contingent on being a top 5 mid range shooter?

@wuliwei69397 жыл бұрын
The reasons why he didn't get voted to the hall of fame or had his jersey retire:1) Way too inconsistent. He could score 40 one night, and single digit the next game2) Subpar defender. He used to get abused by Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller3) For his height, his rebounding number was atrociousHe was just a one-dimensional player to say the least
@nochey787 жыл бұрын
Gary Thompson not a good idea to compare guys who are playing different positions..the criteria for being put in the HOF can be different depending on what position you play Dikembe Mutombo’s offensive numbers aren’t really all that, but his defensive numbers are outstanding.... that’s why he’s in the HOF..plus, good Center’s have always been a bit of a rare commodity. That’s even moreso the case today. As far as Allan Houston goes...his numbers just aren’t good enough...he only has 14,551 career points.... that’s simply not HOF caliber.. But if he had been able to stay healthier late in his career, been a #1 option more often, he might have made it.
@nochey787 жыл бұрын
Wu Liwei Dude..... who didn’t get abused by Michael Jordan??? Plus, Reggie miller was as one-dimensional as you can get...he wasn’t much of a rebounder or Defender either... but he’s in the HOF off the strength of the fact that he has over 25,000 career points.

I'll take it a step further. How is it that this generation will refer to the likes of Allan Houston, Latrell Sprewell, and the Bruce Bowen's of the world as "plumbers" and utterly REFUSE to recognize them as legit talent, when they were competing against MJ in the 90s, yet they deem them as part of these "more advanced/skilled players", when they're busy declaring their era as "superior"? Latrell and Allan came into the league in '93 and '94 respectively. But because they played against MJ, these kids will automatically try to deem them as "inferior". But when they're trying to elevate their era in stature, watch how they'll forget this, and all of sudden include both of them in their list of alleged "superior '00s players" LOL!! This generation is a trip...
