Knicks fans can be great. I'll never forget the ovation they got at the end of this game.

Spree looks like he was such a selfish player in this video, when in fact, he had to do all the work on both ends. LJ on Duncan just isn't fair. Even Camby/Dudley on Robinson wasn't fair...
I miss those underdog days, Iman does resemble a younger Spree, as I watched this again.

That playoff run was great.National media actually rooting for the Knicks.People respecting the NY Jersey.If only this team played with Half the Heart that team did.

Dudley playing at all wasn't fair. Dudley starting in any of those games was enough to make me puke.
Gee, did Duncan look like a selfish player in that third quarter too?
Spree's game was electric at both ends.

Couldn't believe we traded him for:
That was a terrible day to be a Knick fan- I really hated Van Horn and wanted to puke when we got him. Then we traded him for Tim Thomas! Talk about diminishing returns!.
How's this for a trip down memory lane:
Ha!

Then we got rid of Thomas and promptly got him back for nothing. So net/net we traded Spree for nothing! And posters whine about the management now?

Allan Houston looked like he could still shoot in last year's All Star game.
He has trimmed down and looks like he is still in great shape.
I wonder if we can bring back Sprewell, Houston, and Camby back together!
I am semi serious....

I doubt Spree could still play. His game was predicated on speed. Houston off the bench in a Hubert Davis role; I could dig that. But I don't think he would have any interest in returning. Plus we have Novak as our three point specialist.

Anyone have Knicks Miami game 5 '99 Camby block hustles down the other end past the old slow heat and then alley oop from childs? As the momentum in that game turned? For old time sakes..

Well, probably not Spree, I saw him in a game, he doesn't look like he kept himself in shape. But Houston looks like he could still ball with limited minutes.
I wonder if Peja would come back from retirement.

Spree was a real team player for moving to SF because of Houston. He usually went up against guys who were bigger than he was but didn't complain. No one attacked the rim like he did.

And H20 would probably want at least 50 mill, since he's probably about half as good as he was back when.

+1 But please don't bring this topic up. You are sure to be crucified by those who still have the games TIVO'd and can give you counts of how many times spree was actually somehow magically being guarded by the opposing team's 2 and how H20 was locking down the opposing SF's.
Or something to that effect.

I watched that Spree video last night, too.
Spree and Camby were my favorite Knicks ever in a lot of ways.
Glad to have Camby back. Hope Shump can get healthy and keep improving into a Spree2 type for us.
