John Starks - Rough N Tough
Uploaded by: VeoShock
Video Description:
John Levell Starks (born August 10, 1965 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American former basketball player who gained fame while playing at shooting guard for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association in the 1990s. Starks was listed at 6'5" during his NBA playing career.
Starks was at the center of one of the most famous plays in Knick history. During a 1993 playoffs series against the Chicago Bulls, Starks was in the right corner of the court being closely guarded by B.J. Armstrong. Ewing came to set a screen for Starks, who faked to the left like he was going to
use the pick, and then fiercely drove along the baseline and dunked over the much taller Horace Grant as well as Michael Jordan. One of the low points of Starks' career came in the 1994 NBA Finals against the Houston Rockets. The Knicks had taken a 3-2 lead into Game 6, and in the last second, Sta
rks had the chance to sink a three point shot that would have won the Series. His shot was rejected by Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon and the Rockets won the game. In Game 7, Starks shot 2-for-18 from the field, contributing to the Knicks' loss to the Rockets.
