John Starks became one of the most beloved players in New York Knicks history, combining relentless competitiveness, defensive intensity, athleticism, and fearless shot-making.
Undrafted out of college, Starks joined the Knicks in 1990 and developed into a key member of the team during one of the most memorable eras in franchise history. Playing alongside Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley, he became a symbol of New York basketball and the physical, hard-nosed identity of the Knicks.
The 1993–1994 season was the defining year of Starks’ career. He earned his only NBA All-Star selection and helped lead New York to the NBA Finals, where the Knicks faced the Houston Rockets.
Starks became particularly famous for his spectacular dunk over Michael Jordan and Horace Grant during the 1993 playoffs, one of the most iconic moments of his career. His fearless approach and ability to hit important three-pointers made him a constant threat throughout the postseason.
