We thank John for coming on the show, you can fast forward to about 20 minutes in to hear the interview. We talked about a lot of things, and I was happy that he wasn’t too upset that I asked him about Game 7. In fact, he wasn’t upset at all. We invited John to read fan memories of Starks, so please leave them below.

As a special treat for TKB fans, Knicks legend John Starks is scheduled to be a guest of Rice Balls and Dee tonight at 9 on TKB Radio.
Starks joined Tony back in April to discuss plenty of things Knicks.

being a teen in the 90′s, John was my fav … right up there with patrick
but i always said that the reason patrick didnt have a ring was probably bcuz his 2 guard was Starks, and not a Mitch Richmond…..
but right now … this team could learn alot about defense and energy, and the right way to play the game from a guys like Johny
Sorry, off topic but I just wanted to say the Bucks did not make a q-offer for Charlie Villa. I think we should pounce and deal Harrington for Rubio and Cardinal.

Pk On topic. I love Starks, he gave the Knicks some great moments and was a great leader. He’s the kind of guy I would love in the clubhouse right now. I voted for him being a class act when Houston came to town, mostly because he won 6thMOY that season and was great off the bench. But of course “the Dunk” trumps all. I loved watching that highlight before every Knicks game.
i was never a big fan of starks,but i always appreciated that he came outta the came out of the MINORS to play with the knicks.the night of that famous dunk over the bulls,i had to call a girl for a BLIND DATE,..now dig this ,we have never seen each other before so i call her at work,she worked for coke in stamford,ct. i get her on the phone ,we chat a bit and i say “so where do you want to go tonite?she says “i have a luxury box from the company i work for but,i dont know if thats a cool place for a blind date,,i says’take the tix ,,take the tix” ill take you out to dinner first! so she says O.K..i meet her at this italian in yonkers ,im nervous as hell ,hands shakin stammering the whole thing (she also was very good lookin) to make a long story short we sat in the lux boxes it was really stuffy in there if you know what i mean ,execs,guys with suits ,no liquor,just cokes im gettin real figgity cuz i dont know annyone and i tell her .she tells me sh also has seats under the basket ,so i begged he ,after half time lets go down stairs to the seats under the basket,i said it’ll make us feel mor into the game and wouldnt ya know it 4thquarter we are up by a bit here comes JON STARKS SLAM!!! IVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT LOUD IN MSG IN MY LIFE .not only did i know they won that game,i knew they were gonna win that series but i forgot we had SMITH,..i did get to watch the last 3 games from her bed but we lost anyway.end of knicks …….end of my relationship with JAMIE
Which hurt more, losing the girl or to the bulls.
Good story bob.

Thanks man. Yeah I didn’t grow up in Brooklyn, but I guess my name sort of sounds like it. I grew up and still live in Crestwood. it is a town in Yonkers. I appreciate you reading the site and I appreciate the support.
WHERE ARE THE BIOS?
Always thought John Starks’ jumpshot was pretty when he was on.
And of course my fav memory has got to be “The Dunk” hands down.
