      For every NBA player, there's hundreds of people out there that can do 95% of the same thing. That 5% and some luck/opportunity, especially in the injury department, is really the difference between who makes it and who doesn't.

For example, Giannis is not more skilled than Kyrie, but he doesn't need to be because his potential (talent) is not defined only by skill but by his combination of size, strength, and explosiveness which Kyrie cannot compete with.
      I'm not saying Starks was not skilled - but he was no physical outlier in NBA terms.

    The 90s knicks were awesome because a lot of them had unique personality and character. Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, Xaviet Mcdaniels, and John Starks, that little guy who was never afraid to stand up to MJ. He may not have won title, but left a whole lot of memories.
    Sure MJ may have gotten 55 points in the garden, but it was John's relentless pestering that pushed MJ to one of his greatest performances in his post-comeback career. John was a fighter. He never got intimidated by the magnitude of his opponents' greatness, and he often showed flashes of excellence himself. He may have not been a superstar, but John is one of the most memorable Knicks of all time.

    Even tho I'm a Heat fan, one thing I absolutely love and respect is John Starks cause he has the heart and will to give his body 100% to try to win for his team, I'll take that anyday. You can have all the talent in the world, but one thing you definitely need and that is heart and will. I'm 100% believe that's whats missing in today's era in the NBA, hell you can also throw in the NFL as well with certain athletes, what's the main reason why the NBA is doing a In Season Tournament? Its to motivate todays players to play, thats pure laziness on both sides.

    YES! I loved John Starks in the NBA. He had that real dog in him on the court. Did not matter who you were or the end result. He came with it.

    Glad to see this series return. I enjoyed it.
    Also, I can’t help but notice but the intro music is different. I liked Spectral Shift better personally.
    Edit: The music at 1:24 is excellent, anyone know what it is?

    It’s such a bummer that game 7 looms larger than game 6. He was the reason the Knicks pushed the Rockets to 7.

    We loved to beat John Starks and the Knicks but truth be told we always respected the guy. He was fearless in a way you had to be in the 90s.
