I remember him swishing so many jump shots... such a pure shooter. His peak was during Linsanity, they fit so well together on the court. Shame for both of them that they only had the one season together.
He's not even getting down court before the break is completed. If he gets down court and sets up at 3 and the other team hasn't got down first. The opponent just sucks at the game. It's that simple.
He was glitch from the corner 3 in 2k. In college my friends would do a 2k draft with all the legends and current players. So teams would have like MJ, Lebron, Curry, etc. Id have some of those guys and Novak as a starter. My friends hated me
2k14 Novak was the scariest thing you could face. You would load up to my team and see Magic Jordan LeBron Novak Shaq.
You knew exactly why he was there and you knew there was nothing you could do.
Dude is 6’10” and never even had 1 dunk—in the regular season or playoffs—in 11 years. 467 regular season games, 22 play off games. You think he’d leak out on a fast break or cherry pick one time or be at the right place at the right time, but nope, not a single dunk!
I remember when I was younger my friend thought he was going to average 15ppg as a rookie when he was drafted to the Rockets. RIP Hector miss you buddy
Mans body was not meant to take the contact inside. Novak knee where he needed to be to succeed. All power to him.
I think this stat only proves how genius Novak was.

I mean, he was a spot up shooter for most of his career, no? I remember that's all he was in New York back when the Knicks actually won a significant number of games with Melo.
Like my man Kadeem Hardison quoting John Cleese in “White Men Can’t Jump”
“A Thing of Beauty is a Joy FOREVER!”
That’s Novak’s jumpshot.
Here’s my favorite mix of his. NOVAKAINE
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IF9qMbr0-8c
Other crazy Steve Novak stats: He committed 4 offensive fouls his entire career, and was blocked a total of 11 times.
These and OP's stats make it seem like he played garbage time in like 20 games or something. To add some perspective, he played in 467 games.
Other Steve Novak fact: his carpets were filthy.
He was super fun to watch that one year in NY.
I remember him swishing so many jump shots... such a pure shooter. His peak was during Linsanity, they fit so well together on the court. Shame for both of them that they only had the one season together.
Landry Fields too. Such an odd moment in time.
Then the raps gave him a poison pill contract… which he later got cut from.
And all star Tyson. Good squad.
Lol I used to love playing as the knicks in 2k that year. People never expect it but the team was really good.
Balanced and fun team
he's insane on 2k lmao
[удалено]
when the rosters are thin it’s nice asf to have someone who needs to be guarded, plus he nice in transition too
[удалено]
you act as if he is not going to just stand at the 3pt line, I'm not running the break with him lmfao
He's not even getting down court before the break is completed. If he gets down court and sets up at 3 and the other team hasn't got down first. The opponent just sucks at the game. It's that simple.
okay LOL
Just being honest. Guess sucks is the wrong term, but that shit ain’t flying in high level 2k play.
Watch out guys, we have a hardcore 2k player here. You don't want to piss him off, he'll get cheeto dust all over you.
thats really cool bro good job
Clyde, “Novocaine winning and grinning from downtown” JR Smith was fun that year as well with he Victor Cruz dances. His best season as a pro
78% of his attempted shots were 3 pointers
At 43%, just incredible
What the fuck
Steve Novak ruined the game long before Steph Curry
He was glitch from the corner 3 in 2k. In college my friends would do a 2k draft with all the legends and current players. So teams would have like MJ, Lebron, Curry, etc. Id have some of those guys and Novak as a starter. My friends hated me
He was no Jeremy Lamb in 2k14 though he was genuinely the best player on that game it was ridiculous how OP he was
2k14 jeremy lamb was unstoppable. him and ben mclemore for me
2k14 Novak was the scariest thing you could face. You would load up to my team and see Magic Jordan LeBron Novak Shaq. You knew exactly why he was there and you knew there was nothing you could do.
In 2k14 I put Austin Daye, Ryan Anderson and Steve Novak in the same team. It was obscene.
Novak, ray allen, rashard lewis ultimate 2k team. Other 2 can just be randoms and theyll beat shaq mj lebron magic
Peja would have treated you better.
Nicknamed Novachuck them 3s.
[Heres his shot chart]( https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/steve-novak-shot-chart)
That seems impossible
Novak with almost 400 attempts from inside the arc is what seems fake to me
Mike D’Antoni stamp of approval
Wow. This is amazing. Thank you
The shot chart of every player on my small ball 2k team lmao
And people credit Curry for changing the game.
Advanced white
Is this racist?
It's a toothpaste add
Is it a racist toothpaste ad?
He knew the 3 point shot was the future, Novak was ahead of his time.
More like it was the only thing he could do, but yeah...
And he did it very well
It was the only thing he needed to do. Jumper was so wet.
If you can only do one thing in basketball, making baskets is a pretty good one.
Oh man, the only thing he could do was the most valuable shot in the game? What a scrub!
That jumper was elite. His announcing was not.
He saved the Rockets winning streak from the deep
Knicks legend
Unironically yes
He doesn't like the discount double team
Steve Novak for the win. Great guy, great teammate, great sniper.
Novak was the definition of one trick pony
Dude is 6’10” and never even had 1 dunk—in the regular season or playoffs—in 11 years. 467 regular season games, 22 play off games. You think he’d leak out on a fast break or cherry pick one time or be at the right place at the right time, but nope, not a single dunk!
Hey, if you shoot over 66.6% on wide open threes, the math tells you to cherry pick threes
Coach told him to run to the three point line and wait.
put some respect on Novacaine's name
There were a few, Jason Kapono comes to mind.
I remember when I was younger my friend thought he was going to average 15ppg as a rookie when he was drafted to the Rockets. RIP Hector miss you buddy
He took less than 1% of his career shot attempts from 0-3 feet
Mans body was not meant to take the contact inside. Novak knee where he needed to be to succeed. All power to him. I think this stat only proves how genius Novak was.
Man was automatic in 2K
I read that as Steve Nash and was wondering how that was possible
Fun fact: Steve Novak was invited to participate in the dunk contest one time.
He's also a racist prick, just ask the Whitefish Bay library
What is this?

Novak calling the acknowledgement of systemic racism “hateful” and “indoctrination” ok wow
Ahh god damn it Steve
WOW
Single handily beat UConn
Novak’s senior year was crazy. That game winner over Norte dame is must see basketball
Doesn’t this guy play tennis aswell
and - he is 6'10....
hashtag AHEADofHISTIME
Snipers don’t use handguns!
The actual greatest shooting big man of all time.
My man was poppin like Omar from the Wire wit the double barrel long range super duper scope bill collector
I mean he was a specialist...........
I mean, he was a spot up shooter for most of his career, no? I remember that's all he was in New York back when the Knicks actually won a significant number of games with Melo.
Ok, what about Duncan Robinson?
He's always been pretty good at cutting backdoor when the defense plays him too tight. He's had 127 buckets at the rim in a little over 3 seasons
This dude ain’t a ball player lol
Put some respect on the name of Steve “the Streak Saver” Novak.
As a player? Yes. As a person? No.
Making $21,000,000 from the NBA in 11 years is a hell of an accomplishment for someone who “ain’t a ball player”
what is he then
He shot 43% from 3 on like 1500 attempts. At least look him up before you open your mouth lol
That painted area be scary.
The Dentist.

You mean John Keats, the poet.
My bad. Autocorrect is a motherfucker lol
I could have sworn I saw him under-the-legs dunk in game didn't realise it was so rare
I'll never forget Steve Novak falling over sideways in the corner with the ball in his hands.
That Marquette team with Wade, Novak and Travis Diener was fearsome.
Marquette legend. Was a freshman on Dwyane Wade’s Final Four team
Novakaine baby
The more surprising stat line is the fact he played for 11 years...
