Houston Sues NBA for Catchphrase (Satire)

As part of the new CBA agreement between the NBA and the Players Union, a new amnesty rule was put in place allowing each team to release one player from their roster without being penalized cap-wise. The rule was quickly dubbed ?The Allan Houston Rule? referring to the oft-injured Knicks shooting guard who is currently draining the Knicks salary coffers at an alarming ?max contract? rate.

One of the biggest surprises in the NBA is that the ?Allan Houston Rule? was never used on Allan Houston; rather the Knicks instead chose to apply the rule to forward Jerome Williams. Despite the fact that the new rule was never applied to him, Allan Houston is currently in court taking on NBA officials in an attempt to land exclusive trademark rights to the term ?Allan Houston Rule.?

I think he finds that offensive and I actually agree. I agree that they should change it.
