Why on earth are y'all debating the crappy NY knickerbocker's? They suck, always have, always will. And last I looked this a Dallas Cowboys, an NFL FOOTBALL site.

He was soft. That turnaround was defensible. You just had to start pushing him around a bit. That is exactly what the Pistons, 76ers, Celtics, Bulls, and Pacers did to him and he would get mad, out of his game, and not do anything about it.

It was the bullyboy era, he was the biggest player on the court and he had Mason and Starks fight his battles.
I’ll give you that he was relatively soft. He wasn’t the admiral or the dream, but I don’t think he was overrated.

Oakley was tough as nails too. The issue wasn't that he wasn't Robinson or Dream but rather that he could be countered on offense by lesser players. Smits, Laimbeer, or Cartwright would push him around and he would fold year after year in the playoffs.

Every Knicks fan had that poster of Starks.

I know I did.

Underrated time for the NBA when Jordan retired. Great games on TV with the Pacers and Knicks. I remember those games as much as the usual NBA Finals highlights. Shaq and Penny. Fun team to watch in the Rockets too, even if Hakeem did dominate my boy The Admiral. :facepalm:

Great nicknames in sports history among NBA players... The Dream, Magic, The Big Fundamental, The Hawk, Shaq Diesel, Sir Charles, Mamba.

NBA Legend Walt Fraizer was nicknamed "Clyde" by fans because he wore a fedora similar to the one Warren Beatty wore in the "Bonnie & Clyde" movie back in the late '60s.
The thread had gone off-track with Czers reminiscing about the Knicks.
Ah......got it.
