I was not a linguistics major at Oklahoma State, but I added a word to sports parlance. You can probably trace “posterized” to me. Imagine me rising above his “Airness” to throw it down. I gave the denizens of Penn Station a few thrills. I was a league All-Star once. I earned second team All-Defense another year. I even grabbed the Sixth-Man honors one time. I am the all-time Knick leader in three-point field goals. My name is 11th in all-time points for the Knicks. I rank in the team’s top ten for steals and assists. While 23 was slugging it out in Birmingham, we advanced to the finals. We only allowed 100 points or more once in the playoffs, but we came away with a runner-up trophy after losing in seven games to Kenny and the Dream.
Who am I?
Obviously a Knick…posterizing his “airness” or Jordan… John Starks comes to mind…I believe I remember him making an incredible dunk going baseline on Jordan and the Bulls. Steals and assists sounds like a point guard…again I think of John Starks…So my answer is Patrick Ewing…just kidding…Is it John Starks?? If it was, I have fond memories of making fun of his “kool-aid” mustache with my brothers when we were younger…
Dan … I think you’ve got it. Well done!
Nice going Dan. I clearly remember Starks NOW, but was blanked as I thought about an answer.
