With less than a minute to go and the Knicks clinging to a three-point lead in Game 2 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals, Knicks guard John Starks explodes baseline and rises to the rim against Horace Grant and a late-arriving Michael Jordan.
Starks keeps rising and then flushes an emphatic left-handed dunk that sent the Garden crowd into a frenzy.
New York won the game, 96-91 to take a 2-0 series lead, but would wind up losing the next four and the series.
To date this is one of my favorite individual plays in Garden history.
I have a background not only in sports journalism, but sports radio as well. In addition to serving as a writer and editor for Buckets Over Broadway and City of Champions Sports, I am also the Assistant Editor of the NBA Division for FanSided.
I reside in the Pittsburgh area and am a die-hard Pittsburgh sports fan but I've also been a die-hard Knicks fan for life.
