...as far as playing again, alan needs to give it up. he might could get five minutes of garbage time and take a three-pointer or two in a game, but he will never be able to contribute in a meaningful way...why tarnish the image?...but that begs the question, if the knicks are willing to consider him for a front-office role, where's ewing in all of this? do the knicks not want ewing, or are his demands and expectations simply too high? what about offering a job to your team's icon?....

why is this still a story after many months this washed up has been needs 2 make movies or start singing the only basketball he is worth playing is in the videogame!

Come on now.

...he probably sees all these bums who can't shoot making a fortune and figures he's still better than alot of them...

There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for the Knicks to even give him a shot.
he at this stage is a part-time shooter.

The knicks are at least 2 years away from even competig for a PLAYOFF spot
what would be the point of bringing him back>?
- if anything he should go to a contender that needs a shooter....
say Cleveland? Orlando?

Please stay retired Allan.

No doubt.........give it up, Allan

Why is he trying to come back?...I agree, stay retired please....

lol

He should try to come back, if any team is stupid enough to sign him, it's good for him.

The annual Allan come back... Houston-Your knees have a problem.

houston you can help by giving back some of the 100 millions since you know very well that you were not 100m player.that will hep the knicks a lot

Allen has nothing to prove.

Allen c'mon man. We can stick a fork in ya u r done baby. Now go and have a good life man. Cause life is so short live it up baby

I for one really hate to see old players of any sport continue to embarass themselves...There ought to be a committee in each sport that has a sole responsibility to inform players when they are toast...

They could probably streamline the process by automatically imbedding a shut-off chip (Similar to the Lo-Jack car recovery system) into players when they hit 35. Provisions should also be made to include players that look much older (like Greg Oden looking like my grand-father).

When a player is deemed washed up after an annual review, the committee could send out a signal to the chip that directs the player to either A) take his game to the Italian "B" league, or B) dissappear gracefully from the public scene.

Wishful thinking, I guess....

This dude has no shot but hey they are the KNICKS.

Why not? Who else can shoot like he does on the team ....... If you wanna call it a team

He is a long shot.

I hope he is not serious he was a average , highly overpayed shooter in his prime ,what is this about money? Please go away you could play five more years for free and still be guilty of Grand theft!

Oh no, there was nothing average about Houstons shot. As sweet as there ever was. Highly overpaid..agreed, but aren't they all?
