Spencer Haywood. Dude just fell apart with the cocaina.

Ray williams

Michael Ray Richardson

JOhn Starks. Yeah, he disappointed me! Anyone remember is love for golf was more than his desire to succeed in the playoffs? The 1-18 game? THe promise was there, but the results were disappinting.

John Wallace.

To be dissapointing, you must have shown promise at this level.

exactly... there's nothing disappointing to me about John Starks other than how he played in that game 7 of the Finals... but at least he tried his best... he was never 1 to underachieve or be lazy out on the floor, like some of the fugazy spoiled primadonna's we've had around here the past several years.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Nalod: I agree with jazz74 and TMS. John Starks was pure heart. You can say he didnt have a lot of talent and was in a slump that playoff run but the dude was the paragon or effort. He was everything Marbury, Francis and Curry are not.

Kiki? come on, the guy was ancient when he put on a Knicks uniform and so was Blackman. How can you then not include a guy like Rice or Campbell. Michael put up all-time season numbers here too, lets not forget. Knick fans are hard on him because they could have gotten Bird instead. Not his fault.

Well the reason he made my list was that so much was expected at the time from him...yeah he was old but we all thought he was the piece that Patrick needed to get over the hump...He was H20 before H20
before H20 was signed...My pick was based solely on what NY fans expected and not talent of the player...We expected Championship when we signed him....He couldn't even play one full season....It was very disappointing...

Michael ray was great but killed his Knick career with drugs...He would hve been a God here...But we had to ship his out after his drug binge...I'm not sure if he wasn't suspended adn we had to let him go...To lose a talent like that from drugs is very disappointing....

Camby was my favorite Knick. He was oft-injured but he was everything this current squad isn't. He played great D; especially weak side. He played with fearless ness and abandon(which led to his injuries). BUt we got him for an Oakley on the decline so I think he can't be viewed as a disappointment at all.

how can u guys even think about putting camby on that list... he was awesome........ i go with Dice and Marbury for sure

How quick they forget, Camby had one great playoff run and it was downhill ever since. His lack of progression was blamed on everything from Ewing to soft nature. The old injury bugs start coming back like blazing storm. He couldn't be counted on to stay in the line up at all towards the end and he finished the season and his Knick career on the DL.

I am glad that he finally matured in Denver, though.

Im not hating when I say "dissapointed". I don't blame him for 1994, but I was dissapointed he folded.

This is the worst coaching job since Stu Jackson.
