Knicks icons know this team has everything it…
It takes more than scoring 129 factors per recreation to impress the Knicks greats of the Nineties.
About seven hours before taking his seat Wednesday at Madison Square Garden for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the 76ers, John Starks raved about the Knicks’ protection — what else would you anticipate from the Nineties Knicks? — during their four-game profitable streak (95.5 factors per recreation allowed) instead of the unimaginable shot-making main to blowouts.
“I see that they have gotten back to their DNA — and that’s defense first,” Starks told The Post at BTIG Charity Day. “They really have picked it up on that end of the floor, and it’s made all the difference in the world. They’re back to playing physical, rebounding, getting out on the break, sharing the basketball. They are doing everything that a championship-quality team does.”
Starks participated in 18 playoff sequence with the Knicks but “can’t remember anything like” the heater that led to eliminating the Hawks and taking a 1-0 lead on the 76ers.
