Podcast appearances and mentions of Allan Houston

The Knicks are interviewing Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins for their head coaching vacancy, with one caller criticizing Leon Rose for the team's current state and another suggesting Jay Wright, though he's not a candidate. Meanwhile, the Yankees were swept in Boston, a series that saw Rafael Devers traded to the Giants after homering. The Mets also suffered a three-game losing streak, fulfilling Mike Francesa's prediction to Frank The Tank, and now head to Atlanta. In other sports news, JJ Spaun won the US Open, and Fanatics selected 50 regular people to compete against professional athletes. A caller also proposed Allan Houston or John Starks as potential Knicks coaches.

Hour 1 This weekend, both the Mets and Yankees were swept, while the Phillies extended their winning streak, and in a significant move, the Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to San Francisco after he homered in his final game with Boston; Aaron Judge notably struggled, going 1-for-12 with 9 strikeouts. In golf, JJ Spaun won the US Open, while Gio noted that something seems to be amiss with Rory, which warrants monitoring as he heads to Bethpage Black; meanwhile, the Knicks are still seeking a head coach, and Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat stated he doesn't believe anything in history prior to 1950. Hour 2 Both the Mets and Yankees were swept this weekend, with the Mets now heading to Atlanta and a caller demanding Aaron Boone's firing due to the Yankees' fundamental errors, including baserunning mistakes by Dominguez and Rice. This came after Rafael Devers, who homered in his final game for Boston, was traded from the Red Sox to San Francisco. Meanwhile, Mike Francesa's prediction of a Mets losing streak came true, and despite Pete Alonso's strong offense, his throwing issues to first base persist. In golf, JJ Spaun won the US Open on Father's Day, and on the Knicks front, they are interviewing Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins for the head coach position, while Dan Plesac of MLB Network was reportedly scammed by an "unpaid tolls" text message. Hour 3 The Knicks are interviewing Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins for their head coaching vacancy, with one caller criticizing Leon Rose for the team's current state and another suggesting Jay Wright, though he's not a candidate. Meanwhile, the Yankees were swept in Boston, a series that saw Rafael Devers traded to the Giants after homering. The Mets also suffered a three-game losing streak, fulfilling Mike Francesa's prediction to Frank The Tank, and now head to Atlanta. In other sports news, JJ Spaun won the US Open, and Fanatics selected 50 regular people to compete against professional athletes. A caller also proposed Allan Houston or John Starks as potential Knicks coaches. Hour 4 Boomer reacted to the Chris Kreider trade, calling him one of the Rangers' all-time greats while acknowledging his frustrating moments, which led to a comparison of long-tenured New York athletes like the Mets' David Wright and Giants' Tiki Barber, with Gio expressing surprise at the Mets retiring Wright's #5 jersey so soon. In other sports news, Rafael Devers homered to beat the Yankees before being traded, the Mets were swept at home by the Rays, and JJ Spaun won the US Open. The show also featured a "Moment of the Day" with a caller's heartfelt story to a distracted Joe Benigno, and a reminder that the show would be off the following day for a round of golf at Bethpage Black, the future site of the Ryder Cup. And what's going on with Rory?

It's been a long time since the New York Knicks have been one of the NBA's premier franchises. And even names like Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, and Allan Houston, weren't able to deliver a championship to New York City's rabid basketball fans. But according to writer, host, and displaced New Yorker Jason Concepcion, that all may be starting to change. After decades of being the joke in many basketball circles, this Knicks team is suddenly loaded with talent and depth, and being run as competently as any franchise in the sport. And Knicks fans are getting excited again, something they'll gladly tell you all about. Concepcion, a Knicks fanatic himself, joins the show to break down the culture shift at Madison Square Garden, decipher a lingo and fan base that you needed to grow up around to understand, and explain why New York City will always belong to the Knicks.

New York Knicks legend, Allan Houston

Hour 1: Sal is quick to cut off Jerry's open and scream that THE METS ARE BACK. Sal says Alvarez's HR was a Piazza-like moment. The season is back on. Sal has fully been sucked in. Jerry thinks 2-2 in the last 4 games before the break is good enough but Sal wants 3-1. The Mets have the talent to go on a real run. CLo is here but first the crew discusses signing up for Threads in case Twitter goes away. Jerry and Sal have some thoughts on CLo's outfit. Francisco Alvarez saved the Mets with two strikes and two outs in the 9th. Sal might get an Alvarez jersey. The Yankees bullpen had a very rare off night and the Orioles won their first game of this series. Jimmy Cordero was suspended for the rest of the season. Cameraman Pete Stendel was hit by an errant throw but gave a thumbs up leaving the field. The Nationals wanted the umpires to check Elly De La Cruz's bat and they did. Later on De La Cruz hit a 455 foot homerun and turned to point at the bat as the ball was leaving the yard. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry says it was strange to see three Yankees relievers all not have it on the same night. Sal says it was a disappointing loss but not a bad one because the bullpen can't be perfect every night. Tonight's start is a big one for Luis Severino and the Yankees with a chance to win this series. Hour 2: Jerry explains the NBA's in-season tournament to Sal and Sal strongly dislikes the idea. Both Jerry and Sal are highly skeptical that this will work. They don't like the format and want an incentive for the winning team if the tournament is going to exist. CLo returns and starts with Gary Cohen going nuts (in a good way) when Francisco Alvarez tied the game with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the 9th inning last night. Sal believes in the Mets again. Salma Hayek looks terrific at age 56. CLo has audio of the call from last night's Yankees game that Sal thought wasn't great. Jerry and CLo think Sal is being too tough. The bullpen finally cracked a bit and the Orioles won the game. Cubs manager David Ross had an expletive-filled tirade crushing umpires. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry clarifies some details on the NBA in-season tournament and Sal still thinks it's a waste of time. There needs to be a real payoff for the winning team. Hour 3: Jerry says last night's win could send the Mets on the kind of run they need and Sal says it again: the Mets are back! Last night gave Sal goosebumps. Sal had given up but he's back in. Last night was the kind of game that rewards you as a fan. Jerry wants Sal to quickly address a few baseball stories. Will the Angels trade Ohtani? Is Elly De La Cruz the most exciting rookie in the last 20 years? Cameraman Pete Stendel was hit by an errant throw last night. The Braves hit a ton of home runs but Sal doesn't think they'll win a World Series. Luis Arraez will finish under .350. Jordan Hicks made one of the worst throws ever to cost the Cardinals a game. CLo returns and the guys talk about their little league bats. Arizona has a very deep center field. Jerry thought “band box” was “ban box”. A look at extreme MLB outfield dimensions. Randy Vazquez pitched very well again but the Yankees lost. Could Matt Harvey make it back to the big leagues as a reliever? Sal took heat yesterday for struggling with Jerry's American history quiz. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry just had a weird bathroom experience. Sal misses reading the paper and might start if he has to start commuting by train. Hour 4: It's been a Mets morning after their comeback win in Arizona. Francisco Alvarez has been a lifesaver. Jerry wants Carlos Carrasco to give the team a chance tonight. The Yankees have a big chance to win a series today. They are holding their own without Judge but the AL is so tough that treading water might not be good enough. CLo is here for his final update of the day and has promised some great sound. Jerry can't believe he's 16 years older than Andrew Chafin.The Mets had a comeback win and the Yankees lost to the Orioles. Davey Martinez whined about Elly De La Cruz. Jordan Hicks made one of the worst throws ever to lose a game. Chris Russo thinks Adam Silver made ESPN fire Jeff Van Gundy. Jerry thinks it was simply a financial decision. Stephen A. Smith addressed his haters. Allan Houston knew Jalen Brunson was special while watching a very young Jalen mimic Knicks stars. Mike Fracnesa ripped the Jets for wanting something they have made very clear they do not want. Hard Knocks isn't what it used to be. Everyone is interested in this potential Jerry Jones documentary. In Moment of the Day, Sal doesn't understand the appeal of the NBA's in-season tournament. In the final segment of the show, a caller explains the origins of “band box” and Jerry shares crazy stories from recent concerts.

When you come across an “it's been a while since the Knicks did a thing in the playoffs” stat, it generally means you have come across any historic Knicks playoff stat. But, hey, do you know the last time the Knicks closed out a series with a Game 5 road win?Of course you do, it's the Allan Houston game.That was one of nine all-time road Game 5 victories that the Knicks have ever had. The eighth, to be exact, because in the Eastern Conference finals, Latrell Sprewell put 29 points on the Pacers to break a 2-2 series tie, followed by Reggie Miller shooting 3-for-18 and scoring eight points in Game 6, which the Knicks won, 90-82, to go to their most recent NBA Finals.An aside: We as a nation should be talking more about the time Reggie Miller came to Madison Square Garden with the season on the line and put up the John Starks game from the 1994 Finals. Three-for-eighteen instead of two-for-eighteen, and a made three-pointer on eight tries compared to Starks' 0-for-11, but still, eight lousy points and have a nice summer. Only, John Starks wasn't a Hall of Famer carrying the 1994 Knicks. He was a dude who had a bad night. Reggie Miller, on the other hand, is a Hall of Famer and also a choke artist whose signature moment only happened because he shoved Greg Anthony and somehow got away with it.It was Knicks in six in that Eastern Conference finals, which of course was best-of-seven, but the first round at that time was best-of-five, which is why Houston's shot kind of feels like it was in a Game 7.Not to take away from the achievements of the Knicks teams who won do-or-die Game 5s on the road — at Detroit in 1984, at Boston in 1990, at Miami in 1998 in addition to 1999 — but that's a different kettle of fish. A nearly equal sized kettle, as it accounts for four out of the Knicks' nine Game 5 road wins ever. We are not going to simply overlook Bernard King scoring 44 at Joe Louis Arena, or Patrick Ewing dropping a 31-8-10 at the Other Garden, nor Starks connecting for 5-for-9 from downtown in a win-or-go-home game in which the running-on-fumes Knicks started Terry Cummings and gave legit minutes to Anthony Bowie, and won by 17 points.Of the four times the Knicks have won a Game 5 on the road in a best-of-seven series, two have been series clinchers and two have not. The first was decidedly not, as the 1951 Knicks needed every bit of Connie Simmons' 26 points and Max Zalsofsky's 24 to stay alive in the Finals against the Rochester Royals. The Knicks forced a return trip to western New York for Game 7, but fell, 79-75 — two of those Rochester points scored by Red Holzman.Two decades later, Holzman guided the Knicks to all the rest of their road Game 5 wins. First was Game 5 of the 1972 Eastern Conference semifinals in Baltimore, where Jerry Lucas led the way with 20 points and 16 rebounds. The Knicks went home and won Game 6 and the series, 107-101, with incredible balance that saw Lucas and Walt Frazier score 22 apiece, with 20 each for Dave DeBusschere and Bill Bradley.That Game 6, by the way, is the last time the Knicks had four 20-point scorers in a playoff game. The Lakers did that in Game 1 against Memphis this year with Rui Hachimura (29), Austin Reaves (23), Anthony Davis (22), and some guy named LeBron James (21). Actually, if D'Angelo Russell (19) could have gotten one more bucket, the Lakers would've been the first team with five guys scoring 20-plus in a playoff game since Game 5 of the 1987 Finals (Danny Ainge, Larry Bird, Dennis Johnson, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish). Problem for that Celtics team was, the Lakers did the same dang thing in Game 2 with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Cooper, Magic Johnson, Byron Scott, and James Worthy, and Los Angeles won the series in six.You know who else beat the Celtics? The 1972 Knicks, in five games, including 111-103 to padlock the arena by North Station for the summer. Or, for exactly one week before Game 1 of Bruins-Rangers in that year's Stanley Cup Final.That was the first time that the Knicks closed out a playoff series with a Game 5 road win. The second time, and the only other time that they did it in a best-of-seven?It was the last time the Knicks won the NBA title, with Earl Monroe scoring 23 and Willis Reed adding 18 and 12 to give New York its second title in four seasons. That's the last time the Knicks closed out a best-of-seven with a Game 5 road win, and the last time they won a title — 20 years before this retrospective piece that's now 30 years old.

I want to thank Allan and his wonderful team for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come on Ability Beast Talk I'm very grateful and very thankful it was amazing podcast!  We talked about faith overcoming life struggles with grace and love we talked about scripture we talked about being in the world not of the world. It was an amazing conversation and I'm so blessed for this wonderful Beautiful conversation that I had with Allan This please check out this amazing episode of Ability Beast Talk with Allan Houston and Host Wayed Kabir I first met Allan nearly so many years ago and am so overwhelmed with joy! Ever since I was eight years old I've been a fan of the New York Knicks and having cerebral palsy, I remember watching every season with my older brother Parwez; feeling like I was a part of the Knicks organization! The whole organization, especially Allan and all the great Knicks from the 90s and early 2000s really inspired me to shoot for my dreams and to believe in my dreams, which is why I went on to get my Bachelors Degree in business and my Masters Degree as well. I never let cerebral palsy stop me or define me. I've always believed in myself even though the road hasn't been easy, always being the underdog (born 2lbs 3oz) is why I've been a fighter just like the Knicks organization–never giving up–just like Allan Houston–delivering amazing performances after amazing performances over his illustrious career. Showing the world he can make it in New York just like I have made it in life and showing the world what New York Tough is all about! I've always considered myself a part of the New York Knicks and always wanted to work for the New York Knicks organization. Now having Allan Houston on Ability Beast Talk is such a blessing because I feel like I'm more connected to the organization that I love so much. The Kinicks have inspired me so much throughout my life to be the best I can be. I feel like I'm more connected to this amazing organization than ever!

Discussion on the NFL firings so far, now that the regular season is over. The firing of Brian Flores was a surprise. He had the Dolphins going in the right direction. It seems the coach, GM & owner had a strained relationship. A coach gets fired when he doesn't produce. Coach Flores produced and had the players play hard for him and he still got fired. Does the NFL value black head coaches, in a predominantly black league? The guys remember the life of Sidney Poitier.  Discussion about the honors that will take place for Martin Luther King Day. Allan Houston, Muggsy Bogues, Elvin Hayes will be honored as part of the 20th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration Game between the Grizzlies and the Bills. Mia St. John, 5-Time World Boxing Champion, Mental Health Advocate and AuthorMia has a book out now entitled, 'Fighting For My Life: A Memoir about a Mother's Loss and Grief'. Motivation for writing the book started long before the deaths of her son, Julian, and husband, actor Kristoff to suicides. She coped with her grief of losing her husband, son and career by returning to drinking after 30 years of sobriety. Eventually, she beat that and focused on her daughter. She used her toughness and attitude from her days in the ring, 'you can't beat me!' to help her get through. The toughest part about the book was doing the audio portion. She has no regrets. She got into boxing after her father enrolled her in Taekwondo. She didn't like it at first, but she was really good at it. She even had dreams of going to the Sydney Olympics. There is a stigma when it comes to mental health. There isn't a lot of compassion. There is a lot of help for less severe cases, but when it comes to the more severe cases, we still have a long way to go. There was very little tolerance when her husband was showing signs of issues. The Mia St. John Foundation, 'El Saber Es Ponder' (Knowledge is Power) works to help empower individuals with mental illness, homelessness addiction, and poverty. She created an innovative, holistic youth development program that addresses the most severe health and social challenges facing Latino youth and their families. No matter what you go through, or tragedy, you can cope. That's what Mia wants folks to get from the book.
