#8 Allan Houston - Round 1 1999 NBA Playoffs Game 5

In its third year of play for the team, Allan Houston showed that his right hand would transform the shape of the Knicks forever. Known for its ability to break opponents' spirits with a well-timed pump, and to a lesser degree shoot 3s, the Knicks jumped at the chance to lock Allan's hand up for the rest of his career.

Even after he was done playing, Houston's huge contract (extended in 2001) was still getting paid. Thus guaranteeing the Knicks would ne're forget the impact of Allan Houston. (until Isiah's arrival in 2002) In 2007, Houston tried playing again. If it meant more fistpumps, I'd pass the hat to pay for '08.
