NBA's 60 Greatest Playoff Moments: Tied #60

[unclebob5]

As a true Bulls fan.. I have to concede that this was an amazing stuff by Starks. Although the screen *ahem* push by Ewing on BJ is questionable.

[MrYoyoma33]

@unclebob5 shut the fuck up and let us have this one moment in time. asshole.

[mmabuff101]

nasty dunk, no doubt about it. but overrated by knicks fans to the point of nausea, drops it down in the list

[fazman52]

how good was Ewing

[rocco5757]

There would have been NO traumatizing had Bernard King been on the Knicks. Jordan doesnt get half of his titles...Look at the one year the Knicks had Xavier McDaniel, the Knicks gave the Bulls all they could handle, so imagine having a scorer like King in the last 2 minutes of "all" of those close games those teams had .Bulls had no answer for King

[Stevenelow]

Starks really crapped the bed in the 93-94 finals...2-18. BUT, you couldn't help but love him as a Knicks fan. Starks, Mason, Oak, Ewing...all those guys gave 100% for the team every night. And as for this play in particular...GET IT STARKS

[Vigs5127]

i think the timing of the move made it so important. knicks up only 3 with a minute to go in the game. really helped seal the game. gutsy move at crunch time by a gutsy player.

[raclos234]

great dunk for sure...

but if marv called it with a little more excited (like he would if jordan made the exact same dunk) then it might've ranked higher than #60.

[MrBennetzen]

The dunk that woke up Michael Jordan.

[Camaro4211]

@MrBennetzen so true.... down 2-0 in the ECF, bulls rally back with 4 straight!

[hushg2000]

80's & 90's B-ball was simply beautiful!! I love my days growing up in Chicago. I can clearly say now, I miss Starks,Lambieer,Reggie,Barkely­,Kevin,Oakley,thorpe,Magic,Bir­d,Xavier,Kemp,Payton, well, Ya'll know what I mean! Beautiful era!

[westxlcr]

Michael Jordan getting Michael Jordaned....

[gikib0i]

They still lost!

[neeks6]

If this dunk is on here, then I hope the dunk by Pip over Ewing is rated higher.

[neeks6]

Great play, but I think it's kinda overrated

[ClearlyDamnDecent]

no60?????? crazy

[maxedwell]

This play brought me outta my seat w/ excitement (I'm neither a Knicks nor Bulls fan, just a hoops junkie). Starks was a GREAT competitor and IMO is scapegoated too often by bitter haters. I remember they charted MJ's average vertical leap on his jumpers when closely guarded by Starks. It was 40 inches on average! And Starks was sooo close to the ball each time, but MJ had him dialed in.

Also, if this dunk is included, the NBA list should include KJ's dunk on Olajuwon which was also epic.

[playoffexpert1]

Jon Starks was loyal to the Knicks, he's probably their greatest role player ever, they should retire his jersey

[biggirlfromnyc]

And now fine ass Tracy McGrady is # 3!!!!! I'm so proud to be from New York :P

[movsesthepimp]

that waz all over him

[riotusa1]

OK let me get this straight. 61 playoff moments and no Celtics/Sixers from '81? No Olajuwon vs Robinson '95? These folks are on crack!!

[maxedwell]

@riotusa1

Dat's the truth! The NBA's list is bogus, especially in terms of ranking. I'm a die-hard long-time Laker fan, but too many hyped Jordan/Lakers/Celtics highlights are ranked ahead of superior "moments".

[HonoreT35]

THe poor Knicks. After having been traumatized by the bulls they were never the same again. Give it to Ewing. Now after almost 10 years, it really shows that he was the MVP of that whole squad for his entire career. Without EWING, they are more worthless than those ads on top of their taxis.

1) Pat Ewing is an all time great.

2) Madison Square Garden sounds damn intense with their DE-FENSE

3) Starks had no fear of anybody. John Starks is a great player.

[armydime]

@HonoreT35 i agree with u almost 100 percent.....i wouldnt say they were worthless with out ewing but they would have probably never had a chance without him...i miss the knicks from the early 90's always a knick fan but what the hell happen...team starks for life.

[StickArenaGames]

@HonoreT35 and they suck even more with melo on their team, I thought melo would carry them to at least a 4th seed, but they got 7th, still go KNICKS!!!!

[AwesomeDude5415]

@StickArenaGames It was a midseason trade and they didn't have time to build chemistry

[mimi071483]

How can this be in the top 60, and Jordans dunk in the 1991 first round where he loses starks and oakley on the baseline and posterizes Ewing not be? Or Pippens fast break facial on Ewing in 1994? Two of the best plays ever.....

[dnice4lyfe]

I have that poster.

[Aldon3]

Fro about 3 years Starks was as good as a 2 guard as anyone not named Jordan

[skibothy]

i guess. he was just too small though. he's a few notches below joe d as an early 90s premiere 2 guard

[babelfish1012]

Damn he had no authority on that dunk lol

[therightstuff90731]

Awesome dunk Starks!

[Zangetsu2000]

which guy is number 33 again?

[bkruse92]

Patrick Ewing

[liweiwu007]

Scottie Pippen

[TheFeastoftheBigEast]

he mans patrick ewing though

[bashmo]

0:19 wtf? Sounds weird.

[oaken444]

Send it in, STARKS!

[ItsTheCos]

John Starks, if for this dunk alone, was AWESOME.

[BlackaDenBlack]

The REAL number #3 in New York.

[jaboo82681]

I'm a Bulls fan but he got up into Grants head with that dunk

[someguynamedaaron]

omg.

[NBaBall3r26]

i agree with dis at #60

[Bigkhnic23]

u must be a bulls fan...j/k

[NBaBall3r26]

i like da Knicks 2
