John Starks 1997 NBA 6th man


Born: August 10, 1965, Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA.

College: Oklahoma State.

NBA start: Signed with Golden State in 1988 as an undrafted NBA rookie.

Size: height:6'3" - weight:180lbs

MVP stats: gp:77 - mpg:26.5 - ppg:13.8 - apg:2.8 - rpg:2.7 - ft%:76.9 - fg%:43.1

Team standing: New York, 55-27, second in Atlantic division. Lost to Miami 4-3 in second round of playoffs.

Comments: Replaced in the starting lineup by newly acquired Allan Houston he was still good for dependable minutes when needed.

New York should have made the conference finals after taking a 3-1 lead in the second round against Miami. Alas three key players were suspended, after a brawl and Miami won three straight games to move on.
