Knicks · OT:Do players EVER come back to teams they left and play as well? (page 1)

I know some of us speculate about Gallo or Wilson or Felton or whoever rejoining the team some point down the line- I was thinking though every time I see that happen in the NBA and MLB too - it never seems to work with the same energy as before- I can't think of one example of someone coming back to a NY team and being as good as before- can you? All I can imagine is Mark Jackson, fat, playing for JVG, Jeffries being as bad as ever, and Roger Cedeno in CF for the Mets in 2002. Am I missing someone?

Plaxico next year?

Andy Pettite

It's never the same the second time around...Like an old girlfriend, it's better to move on...

Jeffries is playing about as well as he did the last time he was here.

i do not know, because usually when player returns it is much later in career, when best years are behind.

if player comes back during fresh years, he will of course produce very good, like nothing was missed from history

That is the start of a worrisome trend..

Jesus. Do resurrections count?

Last game Jeffries made a nice move under the rim to shield himself from his defender and scored, it was something most high school centers can do but its a big deal when Jeffries does it and this guy is a starter in the NBA. Still don't think it was a bad idea to bring him back but damn, does Jeffries have to get so many minutes? Free Derrick Brown!

Thank you! There's one- he counts for sure- won Game 6 of their last WS. Any other ones?

Steve Nash

Turkey-Glue went back to Orlando. Dunno how that's going to work out but they looked good for a while. I don't remember that many going back to the same team they started with.

Jeffries has actually finished nicely on 2 p-n-r plays with CB and TD(1 each) That was more than I saw with Duhon last year right there. And he is aggressively rebounding on the offensive end as well looking for putbacks. There is effort at the least.

Tim Thomas part 2 and Bobby Bonilla part 2 both sequels were horror shows

Timmy ball hard, many regrets his second departing. Good play here. Biggest mistake of Connie early year.

Willie Mays

Billy Mays?

We've finally built the team for Ewing to get his championship. let's make it happen

Nobody thought of Balkman?

Don't look now but JJ on fire yesterday as he hit every attempt and actually knocked down an open 3.

Tim Thomas played well his second time here.

Jason Isringhousen just got his first out as a Met since '99! Damn that feels good! Generation K in 2011- That check is finally clearing!
