Salute to KVH for leaving on his terms... many people forget the business side of basketball isn’t just about contracts...having to uproot and move your family multiple times can be frustrating and draining ...especially when you don’t have the stability of a long term deal ... but even that doesn’t mean you won’t get traded... he could’ve and should’ve been more than he was career wise, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way ... great video bro

Vanhorn's game had already started dipping at this point, I can't say the Nets did wrong there. They did reach the finals again after this decision the next season.

@@ruxcooking You're right, KVH was s stretch big man that would have pulled Duncan out the paint. Then again Van Horn played the Small Forward position. His real chance was against the Lakers the prior year. Yeah Shaq was in his prime but Van Horn could have stepped up and really been a threat at SF because Rick Fox was not that good of a defensive player. Nets had a complete mismatch at the SF in the finals. They didn't capitalize off of it.

Seriously doubt that story about him “not wanting to play with the brothers” in Philly was at all true. It’s a dirty business, and agents, GM’s, owners and other players will say negative things about you as to not make themselves look like the bad guy. When Van Horn was slated to go to Philly the first time, that franchise had a terrible rep, whether it was AI “talking practice?” or coach Larry Brown, while although an outstanding head basketball coach, was a task master, especially brutal with rookies and younger players. No respectable, hard working young player, who just played for a players coach in Coach Majarus and Utah, would want anything to do with that situation. It was toxic. With no end in sight. He gambled smart and got what he wanted, like most star players do now. Dude was cold on the court. Hellacious drive as far as being a competitor, cold outside J, smooth handles for a big man, and skilled enough down on the blocks to know when and where to get his, without damaging his body. Not to mention his ability to stretch the floor and open up passing lanes for other players. Would be a top 10 talent in today’s game. Good for him for using the system that so often has used players and left them when they’re skills were eroding. He got the drop and the bag. I remember this cat from way back at Diamond Bar high and told my boys not to sleep on him. His game was nice. Keep doing you Keith.

I can reflect one game where Keith Van Horn was on the New York Knicks roster against the Orlando Magic at the old O-Rena. And he was constantly lighting up Magic defenders all game long from mid-range and from behind the arc. The whole arena was cheering him on. I know there are a lot of transplanted Knicks fans in Orlando, but even Magic fans were applauding him.

I was a huge Nets fan with KVH was drafted, after the first few weeks it was obvious the team had something special and the sky was the limit. He was very aggressive around the rim using his jumping ability to attack the basket. Then he broke his leg, he was never the same player again. Perhaps basketball was merely a job to him and breaking that leg made him a very passive player after that? Either way, the guy was never the same again and ended up becoming an average player. He had all the tools needed to be a superstar.

He really needed a floater/ in-between shot that could freeze shot blockers before they could help. He stopped driving as much because teams sent help at him and he wasn't a good passer, had to go all the way to the rim, and his shots were flat and easily blocked. He also never played with a 3 that could shoot with the Nets so there were at least two guys that could give help.

Never was aware of the stuff swirling around him not wanting to play in Philly, but it makes sense. AI and Jerry Stackhouse were rumored to be beefing and Derrick Coleman didn't have the best rep either (as you alluded to in his video). Plus, Keith Van Horn did stick around after Steph got traded to Phoenix and was a piece on one of those Nets NBA finals teams. Got traded for Mutombo the next season. Anyways, thanks for this video because I will not stand for any KVH slander. Not a bust in the slightest. I'll argue with anyone.

Just subscribed!! My friend just led me to your channel Stunted Growth and what an awesome channel it is! Being a big basketball fan (particularly college) it was so cool to hear the stories of players I grew up watching. Your methodical, concise, and unbiased analysis is so entertaining. Suggestions on some players Donte Greene, Korleone Young, and Rodney White. Keep up the great work :)

@Franko E I wonder why they never gave him a chance??? That sounds great but after his Final's run. It was like he was written off. He could have been a great shooting guard. His team mates talked a lot of shit and through him under the bus. His Value dropped terribly ??? The NETS lost the final's the next year in 5 games. He was not the problem.

@@brandongilbert3071 He was definitely as good as Luka but not on his level as a star. This era is completely different than the one Van Horn played in. The era Van Horn played in had legit centers and power forwards. He dealt with much tougher physical play, with crowded paints and less ticky tack fouls. I could go on and on, but I won't. Luka is good, but he's only this good because of the era. Had he played even 10 years earlier he wouldn't even be close to being considered an MVP caliber player. That era had legit shooting guards galore. The era matters no matter what folks think. This era is littered with G league talent masquerading as starters.

@Camaro 68 all I’m saying is I acknowledge that entertainers make a lot of money. I think it would be stressful, but not in the same way as us mortals are accustomed to. To stay focused and to compete at a high level for 82 games would get old unless you truly loved the game. If someone comes around and takes your spot, no more millions.
