JOHN STARKS

DJ Cisco interviews John Starks at Madison Square Garden.

John Levell Starks (born August 10, 1965) is a retired American professional 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" (1.96 m) and 190 pounds (86 kg) during his NBA playing career.

Starks's fiery intensity often led to emotional displays on the court. Reggie Miller, star shooting guard for the Indiana Pacers, was often a provocateur and target of his ire during their great rivalry. Starks is also considered one of the few players in NBA history that was able to guard Michael Jordan.
He is most remembered for "The Dunk" on Horace Grant and Michael Jordan, for his fierce tenacity, desire to win, and heart, and for being one of the most popular and beloved personalities in New York and Knicks history.
Starks is the Knicks' all-time leader in three point field goals (982).[3] He was the first player in NBA history to make 200 three-pointers in one season; his 217 during the 1994--95 NBA season broke Louie Dampier's single-season professional (NBA or ABA) record of 199 during the 1968-69 ABA season. Dennis Scott broke Starks's record a year later with 267; it now belongs to Ray Allen, who made 269 during the 2005-06 NBA season.
