little debate I got going on here and wanted some true knick fan input, so i didn't make it a poll

It's really a tough call

Starks had the heart of a lion
Houston had the sweetest jumper ever(imo better the ray and reggie)and could shoot over anybody
spree had the energy to wake up the dead..

As much as i love spree and starks to death..you can't find a 2g in this league that can shoot like Houston

H20 would contribute the outside shooting we desperately need, so I would take him, even though Starks is my favorite among that group.

I have to take Starks.

He had grit and balls for days. Would go face to face with Jordan, Reggie, you name it. Played D like a man possessed.

When he was on he was on. When he was off...

From bagging groceries to headbutting Reggie. Starks all day!

Starks. One of my all time favorite Knicks. No contest for me.

Houston on this team right now. He'd have wide open jumpers all day.

Love Starks and Spree but I'd have to go with Houston. He'd be draining outside shots all day long.

Houston makes this team an instant contender. Not sure either of the other two do just because of roles on the team. Houston all day. We could really use his outside shooting.

Starks and Sprewell make no sense when we already have JR and Melo. But adding Houston gives us the shooting that we desperately need.

I thought about starks d, then I thought about Mj toasting starks for 50+ points on several occasions (once during ECF game).. reggie also toasted starks on numerous occasions..but all starks had on MJ was the dunk..and I can't remember a game where starks toasted reg.

Allan came around @ the end of MJ's prime, and as good as a defender MJ was, He would never be able to contain allan in his prime..

Allan wasn't a volume shooter, if he avg 28 shots attemps like Mj he would have easily avg 40 points

People talk about how the knicks never got Ewing any help but add H20 & LJ was huge. Only derailed by PJ Brown and Andrew Lang

Houston was an underrated ball handler too. Always could create space for that sweet jumper.

I'm such a huge fan of the mid range game, and he was one of the best..That pull up jumper, the step back jumper, the fadaway jumper, that pump fake jumper, the off the dribble jumper..pretty too..Imagine him and melo on the same team..

Thats a Point guards dream..then have two bigs like tyson and amare finishing..


Spree is a combination of Jr, shump, and brewer wrap in one

thought it was houston's knees?

Also, what great use of his pivot foot. His J made it look like the basket was the Atlantic Ocean
