From TrueHoop: "On a more positive note, Larry Hughes of the Knicks hit a jump shot with 8:30 remaining to snap his 0-for-18 slump to start the preseason. Hughes finished 1-for-3, upping his accuracy rate to 5 percent in New York's five exhibition games." That's the Big Shot Larry we know and loath.
But don't worry, Knicks fans. After all, Big Shot Larry says he isn't worried about his cold shooting: "I haven't been getting a lot of shots that I want and making shots that I want. But it's the preseason. I think I'm getting limited minutes and not getting into a rhythm. But it will come. I've played in this league a long time. I'm not concerned." Well, you know what John Cusack would say: when they tell you not to panic, that's when you RUN!!
Man, it's the a good thing the Knicks are only paying him $13,655,268 this season. Wait...oh God...
Thanks to both Erick and Hogey for the head's up.

2 - Although Larry Hughes may not be the best basketball talent on Earth, here's a dope stat line he dropped in '05: 22-6.3-4.7-2.9. I'm not saying he doesn't suck ass (he does), but he wasn't ALWAYS like this.
3 - I still can't come to terms with never seeing another LL post again.
Plus, it has Simon Pegg and he's the man.
Here's the trailer:

Matt - defending Larry Hughes? I'm sure your roasting is coming, but all I have to say is shooting percentage. Even in '05, still bawful.

Well, I guess it made me laugh.
The question is, does the contract year phenomena continue this season, as he will be an unrestricted free agent next season?
Other side note, Hughes is the Knicks' highest paid player this season. Not sure if Bawful mentioned that or not is his original post.
I loved me some LL just as much as anybody but I got to say I am really excited for some vintage Bawful. To another epic season of NBA lacktion!
Bored to Deat on HBO has been great also
2010 can't come soon enough.
Did the Knicks trade for him? Yep. But we didn't sign him to the $70 million contract in the first place. And we also found a way to trade Tim Thomas AND Jerome James through the deal. So living with Larry Hughes inability to play decent basketball anymore is just a minor setback IMO, as a Knick fan.
In case you guys didn't know, there is an entire website dedicated to Larry Hughes and his bawfulness. Check it out here:

Shit, man .... I'd rather have Larry Hughes instead of Darko ....
Matt, no one creates rebounds like Ricky Davis. Hughes is an amateur.
A challenger appears!!
