Patrick Ewing and John Starks brought spark to New York when they'd work together. John Starks was a crafty point guard that showed flashes of brilliance and would excel out of nowhere while Ewing was the solid fundamental rock of the team. Starks was drafted by the Warriors in 1988 then played overseas for near two seasons. In 1990, Starks tried out for the Knicks and landed a spot on the roster. Patrick Ewing was the prolific reason the duo would succeed. Ewing was drafted by the Knicks in 1985 to become Rookie of the Year and set an awareness throughout the NBA. Ewing was one of the players to be a part of the 1992 US National "Dream Team" winning a gold medal while embellishing it with Hall of Fame players. Starks and Ewing would compete sufficiently in the playoffs and make noise. The closest the two have been to winning at all was in 1994 when they faced the Bulls. Jordan and company were the Knicks' most despised rival. Ewing and Starks both ended up ringless at the end of their careers.
