The Most-Loved Knick Ever*: Patrick Ewing vs. John Starks

On February 7, 1993, the New York Knicks knocked off the Charlotte Hornets. The box score:

Patrick Ewing and John Starks have advanced to the final round of our Most-Loved Knick Ever* tournament. At first glance, what’s most striking about this pairing are their polarities. Ewing was a highly-touted prospect out of high school and college, a generational big man who earned straight-faced comparisons to Bill Russell. He was big and strong, a seven-time All-NBA selection, an 11-time All-Star, winner of two Olympics golds, a member of the NBA’s 50 Greatest and Top 75 lists.
