      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.

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.

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!

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    hahahaha, the fact that a sprained knee was the real reason he got that 1 year contract is kind of hillarious 😂
