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.
Absolutely. Especially in the eastern conference, on those Knicks teams that played at a snails pace. Even more impressive that he did that in that era.
Back then, hearing Marv Albert yell “STARKS FOR 3…YES!” was one of my favorite sounds in the world. John Starks will always be one of the all time greatest New York Knicks. His drive, his swagger, his fearlessness, his passion, his heart…he WAS and IS everything that is the spirit of New York.
Starks still has that fire inside & loves the Knicks so much, that he was courtside for every Knicks Home Playoff Game in 2023, cheering just as much as us fans!
John Starks, besides Patrick Ewing, is what I think when I hear a Knick. The Knicks and their fans are underdogs, gritty, tough, no-nonsense, and gives 100% effort 100% of the time. And he wouldn’t back down from anyone. He is a player every NBA star should strive to have the heart of! 🔥
As a Bulls fan, I loved when we played New York. Starks played with intensity and respect. He guarded Jordan better than Detroit, and was always a threat.
I’m with ya on this one. I always felt that Starks (more than most) consistently made Jordan have to bring his A Game. I didn’t like him much back then, but I respect the heck out of him today!
@@kerry-j4m His own words, yes, but my eyes tell me a different story 😊 The Detroit Pistons played MJ hard, yes, but I’m not sure anyone else in the world would say Joe Dumars was an elite defender 😅
Amazing how sports work. He was great in game six. If Hakeem doesn't get a fingertip on the last shot in game six, he probably scores there, Knicks win the championship and he's an absolute legend.
Same here, all the way from here in Britain, watching blurry highlights. I always liked his Oklahoma drawl the odd time I'd see him do an interview as well!
Especially when he almost single-handedly brought them back in game 6 and almost won them the series. But alas, it's a make or miss league and boy in that game 7 he was clanking....
Ewing, Starks and McDaniel were the key players to me. Took the Bulls to 7 games with McDaniel but it didn’t feel the same ever since. I think a knee injury and letting that Olajuwon block bother him (which wasn’t his fault to me) is what affected him the rest of his career. Still could play but wasn’t the same.
I'm waaay to young to have ever seen John Starks play live, but I know had I been a Knicks, or even just Basketball Fan, 30 years ago I would've loved him. I'm glad we got a new, hard working, hustling #3 on the Team today
My favorite player growing up. The swag the attitude on the court the way he carried himself. It was an absolute animal in the basketball court, so underrated his story is also amazing from where he came from to make it to the league.
The video clip of him choking up when he got a ring of Honor for the Knicks hall of fame after he got a standing ovation shows hpw much he loved the Knicks and the fans
Yes! Thanks for making this! I’m 36 & Starks was my fav player growing up in the 90’s. New Yorkers LOVE guys that bust their a$$, will do anything to win & want to be here. Even more than talent/skill. (Prob why we haven’t won in 50 years lol).. Starks is known for the awful Game 7 in the 94 Finals, but he had so many big games getting us to that point. Like Game 6 in Indiana in the ECF! & in NBA Jam, it was Ewing & Starks! lol
Love it, love it, love it. Starks is the kind of player every team needs. He may not be the most talented or gifted, but doesn't have a mode other than "going all out".
Starks was absolutely talented , he had limitless range , handles , shot creating abilities, he could out rebound bigs and dunk over anyone , his biggest flaw was his hot headed temper and streaky shooting
@@andresdelportillo9917 in NBA terms those are skills, not talents. Talent is things like height, long arms, ridiculous verticals, large hands, extreme sprinting ability, and so on. 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.
Here’s the thing: Knicks fans tend to know the game. And we know that shooters shoot. We know that character lasts forever. And we love people who bust their back to win. Most of us don’t care about 2-18. That’s a testament to the man.
Starks could shoot you in and out of games but he played good defense and had a huge heart. Loved the player and the 90's Knicks. At guard, at 6-5, from Oklahoma State, #3, John Starks!
@@akamaptv2504coming out of junior college and then playing in the CBA to NBA starter takes heart. And then when he became a starter he wouldn’t back down to anyone. Even MJ. That’s heart.
John Starks was my favorite player when I was a kid. I liked him because he always took the fight to Jordan. I also liked the fact that he had a regular job before making it into the NBA. I still have his Knicks OG Champion Jersey from 94. Thank you Secret Base for telling his story!!
As a Pacers fan and a teen when the Pacers-Nicks rivalry was at its height, I remember being more scared of Starks than anyone else the Nicks had. Yes, including Ewing. Ewing had this range of skill that you could account for; Starks could be literally anything and it always freaked me out.
Interesting. As a Knicks fan, I guess your fear for Starks was akin to my fear of Reggie Miller. Anytime Reggie got the ball and was behind the three-point line, I felt my heart freeze in my chest. 😂 Those were some fun battles over the years. Basketball hasn’t been that much fun since.
Scored like 9k points in a Knicks uniform and he is a franchise legend. Thats a franchise that has been around almost 70 years, and John Starks is one of their best.
I grew up a Reggie Miller fan in NYC in the 90's. Loved the Knicks/Pacers rivalry because of Guys like John Starks. The Knicks of the last 20 years isn't the Knicks I remember. It's great to see Mr. Starks receiving his flowers.
John Starks is that guy you need on every Championship winning team. A player every other team absolutely despises.....but you LOVE when hes on your team. Hes the type of guy that fights for every ball, the first guy to run in defense of his teammates, plays damn good defense, does the dirty work and isnt selfish on offense. Hes never really a star, but you can go back to almost every Championship team and I guarantee theres a player that embodies that John Starks mentality and role. Hugely underrated, great player and hell be remembered.
I will always remember him for getting MSG fired up with his passion. Whether it was arguing a call or celebrating and gloating, he was the heart and soul of the Knicks. So many players these days only care about their brand, they're like Instagram influencers who play ball part-time.
I remember being heartbroken when they lost game 7. Thankfully I had people remind me that if Starks didn’t play his heart out in game 6 there never would have been a game 7.
As a Bulls fan I hated Starks for so many damn reasons - but I admire his competitiveness and toughness. He’s also one of the few players of that era who would flourish in today’s NBA. He also worked out HARD to rebuild his whole body - just like Rodman.
See, Ive got heart like John Starks, Hitting mad sparks, Pass me the mic and I'll be rockin' the whole park!! If Beastie Boys name checked you in a song, you are legit.
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.
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?
When I watched NBA in the 90s Starks was one of the notable Knicks players. I did not know he had such an inspiring story and interesting path to be top NBA player. 5:12 That short microphone change for that insert was strange :D.
Me and my sons were waiting at the gate at Madison Sq . Garden 34th Street waiting for the players to drive in for a game; w music blasting, leaning outside dah car window, in coming, rolling in, the utimate ego, John Starks, rolled up, awesome!
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.
Nice. I put off watching this video for a bit because as much as I love Starks and pretty much anything 90s NBA, I’ve seen way too many shorts and documentaries covering what I thought was this exact topic. I’m glad I ended up watching though because this was a bit of a different perspective and had some info I never knew about. Very good video.
There are some athletes that are destined for greatness, but far more are diamonds in the rough that have to have the right coaches, right circumstances and programs for them to make it. Riley not only helped to develop Starks, but Anthony Mason as well. Did the same with Lakers making Rambis a valuable contributor. You see a lot of kids who light it up in HS and get to college and play in the wrong system for the wrong coaches. Same in the pros-good coaches and teams have a way of identifying skills not readily seen and maximizing that potential and making it work.
Man, I love how John Starks was basically the Jason Preston of the 80s who actually made an NBA career out of his rise to success. Doing it in an era without “viral videos” and the internet in general is all the more impressive.
hahahaha, the fact that a sprained knee was the real reason he got that 1 year contract is kind of hillarious 😂 great video / storytelling as allways. keep up the good work all of you at secret base! much love from switzerland
Starks' story makes me wonder just how many others like him are out there that never got the chances he did
Any decent guard under 6"5' could claim this.

He was the first NBA player to break 200 3-pointers in a season. Doesn't seem like much these days, but back then that was insane.
Absolutely. Especially in the eastern conference, on those Knicks teams that played at a snails pace. Even more impressive that he did that in that era.
I’ve had the pleasure to meet Starks, and he is the nicest guy in the world. This video does him so much justice.
Back then, hearing Marv Albert yell “STARKS FOR 3…YES!” was one of my favorite sounds in the world.
John Starks will always be one of the all time greatest New York Knicks. His drive, his swagger, his fearlessness, his passion, his heart…he WAS and IS everything that is the spirit of New York.

John Starks may not have been the greatest player, but as a Knicks fan, you knew that he gave you everything he had, and that is why we love him so.
John Starks, besides Patrick Ewing, is what I think when I hear a Knick. The Knicks and their fans are underdogs, gritty, tough, no-nonsense, and gives 100% effort 100% of the time. And he wouldn’t back down from anyone. He is a player every NBA star should strive to have the heart of! 🔥
The Riley way... He brought that to Miami
And Antohny Mason, Charles Oakley,
@@MCFrutek Oof! Those guys were killer. When they stepped on the court, the opponent was nervous. 😨
TOTALLY agree
As a Bulls fan, I loved when we played New York. Starks played with intensity and respect. He guarded Jordan better than Detroit, and was always a threat.
I’m with ya on this one. I always felt that Starks (more than most) consistently made Jordan have to bring his A Game. I didn’t like him much back then, but I respect the heck out of him today!

One of my favorites ever
Beautiful. I loved Starks as a 90s kid because he had that DOG in him. How can you not love that?
exactly. he was gritty and hard working on the court. he represented that hustling and bustling spirit of the New York area
Same here, all the way from here in Britain, watching blurry highlights. I always liked his Oklahoma drawl the odd time I'd see him do an interview as well!
As a Rockets fan, it sucks that he’s only known for going cold in game 7 of the finals.
Especially when he almost single-handedly brought them back in game 6 and almost won them the series.
But alas, it's a make or miss league and boy in that game 7 he was clanking....
Die hard Bulls fan here and I totally agree! Knicks don’t get to a game 7 without Starks. He went on to have a solid role with the Knicks up to 1998.
Not as bad as Ewing who choked 6 out of 7 games, of that series.
At least Starks had two good games.
As a New Yorker we all got respect for John starks, that’s not all he’s known for
@@steph_566 yeah in New York. But other fans know him in an infamous way
John starks is the sole reason i became a Knicks fan. The only player i know that stood up to Jordan. It didn't work, ever, but still...
