Doing a little research on the Allan Houston Rule...

[sidenote: the knicks' websites, when discussing Jerome's waiver, dont' even call it the allan houston rule. what brainwashing! but, in truth, i keep calling it the allan houston rule over and over again b/c i want to make sure you all know how ridiculous it is that they didn't use the allan houston rule on allan houston]

...and I came across this little gem of a quote

“You’ve heard the mantra before in terms of getting younger and more athletic,” said Thomas. “That’s the type of player we’re looking for, whether he’d be a wing or play up front or in the middle.

Way to think outside the box ishiah. btw, in case you forgot, here's the definition of "mantra"

"A sacred verbal formula repeated in prayer, meditation, or incantation, such as an invocation of a god, a magic spell, or a syllable or portion of scripture containing mystical potentialities."

At least Zeke used the word correctly.
