Back in the early 90's I used to play pickup ball against Van Horn at a park in Chino Hills. He was always a really nice guy and I am glad he went on to have a great career and now he has time to focus on his family.
oh and growing up as a kid, kvh was my favorite player too. i had to ditch the knicks and become a nets fan. and when we had him on the knicks for those 3 or 4 months, i was so surprised how much he dominated. he was doing shit ive never seen him do. driving in and dunking on people? i knew he had it in him
gallinari is way more agressive then van horn, but that was van horn's only real problem..that and his defense. his rookie season literally jumped off the beginning of the nets playoff teams and this was without kidd, remember
@TheHNIC88 Doesn't it work like that everywhere? You have an athletic two guard and he is billed as the next Jordan. But I agree, there have been a large number of white players where people had unrealistic expectations about the potential as professionals.
i remember collecting basketball cards when i was a wee lad. and iverson and van horn were always my favorite 2. i still got all his rookie cards lol.
Man, I use to ball that fool up back in the day ! We all use to play at ronald regan park in diamond bar and i use to cross that fool over ! j/k, but every guy who lived in diamond bar during this era has muttered those words at one time or another : )
I always thought that Keith Van Horn and Nick Van Exel were the chosen one's, I always thought they were the ones that could've brought balance to the Knicks.
KVH will always be my favorite player of all time. Followed him since he came into the league when I was 7 years old... Had to switch my favorite teams every year when he kept getting traded. Great player, even better person. Kind of stinks he's no longer playing but he had a good career and has his family. I always wanted to meet him.
now if you started reading this dont stop its really scary ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes. when you are done press F6 and your crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work
Your wikipedia college accomplishments for Keith Van Horn are all completely wrong. The MWC didn't even exist until 1999 so there is NO WAY that Van Horn was MWC player of the year in 95, 96 or 97. Keith Van Horn NEVER played for a MWC school. Utah was in the WAC during Van Horn's entire career playing there.
He was sharing minutes with Jefferson true, but he was still a huge part of their success that year. The avg. points don't tell the whole story of his work with the team that year.
big talent, when he was playing for New Jersey was a great player, but then came kenyon martin and Keith has gone of NJ, that was his end of being graet player
Van Horn had one of the best fakes from the 3 point line. Defenders invariably went for the fake, and Van Horn was quick enough to blow past them. Unfortunately, he just did not seem to have the strength to finish when he got close to the rim, and often got his shot blocked. I liked him as a player, especially on the 1997-98 Nets that featured Van Horn, Jayson Williams, Sam Cassell, Kendall Gill and Kerry Kittles. Nets fans thought they had something special with that group for the future.

runner up rookie of year to Tim Duncan.
Career went in the toilet so fast.
I never understood.
Was soft.
Y2Jin99 3 years ago
No, he wasn't soft, he rocked for most of his time in the NBA. When the nets went to the finals he kicked ass the whole year.
ccffcc22 3 years ago
au contraire!
He actually averaged a career low 14.8 ppg in 2002, their first trip to the finals.
Richard Jefferson played the most minutes down the stretch of games and Van Horn was dealt in the offseason.
I would pretty much say the Nets success was Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin that year.
I have been a Nets fan since the mid 80s so I watched alotttttttt of games.
3 years earlier he averaged almost 22 a game and his rookie year was runnerup to Tim Duncan for ROY.
