The Top Ten Project

by Seth on Jul 29, 2007 8:32 AM EDT in Miscellaneous

This is an idea that was taken from Bullets Forever and then refined to our own tastes by Barnesgasm himself. Here's the plan: In the comments of this post, which I'm gonna leave at the top for a day or two (I'm headed off to the Rock the Bells concert today), rank your ten favorite Knicks of the last 20 years. The 20 years guideline is a little fuzzy, but I just don't think we have many middle-aged dudes in P&T Nation ready to regale us with yarns about Willis Reed and Walt Frazier in their primes. Take care of the order of your top 10, as well, because points will be awarded (Ten for first place down to one for 10th place) for each guy on your list. I will tally up the points and compile a blog-wide Top Ten list. Then we'll divide the players up amongst ourselves and try to get a decent post up about each guy.

This is a really good gauge of what kind of community we've got here, so I encourage you to participate. Rank 'em up!

UPDATE: Remember, these are your favorite Knicks...not necessarily the best ones. If Howard Eisley is one of your favorites, then so be it (you idiot).

1) patrick ewing
1a) john starks

larry johnson
charles oakley
gerald wilkins (totally underrated)
anthony mason
latrell sprewell
johnny newman
allan houston

10 tie) trent tucker
10 tie) david lee (he'll be in the top five eventually)

honorable mention: rolando blackman, renaldo balkman, xavier mcdaniel

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

Interesting...

Not criticizing... top 5 looks great, then... Chris Dudley? Mr. Free Throw Clinic? "I taught Shaq how to shoot"?

And Rory Sparrow? Jerome the Junkyard Dog Williams?

Awesome choices to fill out the Top Ten. For the record, I was this close to putting down Johnny Newman, if only because I remember that, like ten years after playing for the Knicks (where he spent like ten years) I saw him in a game. I was like, "Word? Johnny Newman is still playing? Is he on some Jesse Orosco of the NBA sh*t?".
