The Frazier/Monroe backcourt was epic.
Brunson would be even better playing next to Clyde as the primary PG.
Mase was a mean 6'8" even though sometimes he is listed as a SF. He'd be even better in today's game.

First thought outside of Jalen for point was Strickland. He didn't get the play (therefore the numbers) in NY, but he was an excellent traditional PG. Imagine if the 1990s team had him at the point with PE, Oak, Starks, Houston, LJ, Mason, Kurt, X, Charles Smith, Harper...maybe even Christie. I know why they stuck with Marc for so long, but Rodney was the overall better point.

Too hard to choose overall, but the non-Knick version of the '90s Strickland at the point would be one of my choices.

Pg: Brunson/Frazier/Marbury
SG: Houston/Sprewell/Starks
SF: OG/Carmelo/King
PF: Randle/David Lee/Oakley
C: Ewing/Towns/Camby

I am not old enough to have seen the other 70s guys play, so no disrespect to them. The only 70s guy I would put on all time great at a position is Clyde.

Brunson, Michael Ray Richardson, Jeremy Lin
H20, Sprewell, Paul Westphal
King, Melo, Bridges
OG, KP, David Lee
Ewing, KAT, Camby

Thought he was our future, remember the book hand shake he had with Landry fields lol.

Also loved watching

lil Nate the great and David Lee

I was at the game with my dad when Lee tipped in the .01 shot to win the game vs the bobcats . During the timeout the guy sitting next to us looked over and said “I gotta go to the bathroom looks like another OT” …

Then Boom historic garden moment

The garden exploded the guy came running out like what the hell happened!! He couldn’t believe he missed it.

Peak Lin was a darn good PG! It was just a few weeks but since we in fantasy land!
Paul Wesptphal was just past his as a knick but he was a great SG in PHX! He had Hops like DDV!

Jackson was very good for awhile, but in hindsight you have to choose Strickland over him. Rod didn't get to really unleash his jets until he was traded and had his own team to run, but he was one of the most athletically exciting PGs of his time. MJ was not exciting, just effective in his own slower way.

Yeah, Strickland was a stud.

Moral of the Story: Never take a piss with less than a second on the clock.

I know right! My dad and I were amped a moment I’ll hold dear forever. David Lee was a great Knick ! and I’ll never forget that guys face in the aftermath hahaha .

80s - M.Jackson, Wilkins, J.Newman, S.Green, Ewing
90s - M.Jackson, Starks, XMan, Oak, Ewing
2000s - Ray Felt, Landry Fields, Wilson Chandler, Stoudemire, Turiaf/Mozgov (before the Melo trade)
2010s - the Senior Year with Melo, Rasheed, Kurt, Marcus, Kenyon, etc
2020s - the 2024 season with Donte and IHart when we landed OG and Randle was hurt

I would love to see Johnny Newman as a sixth man on this current team

He'd chew the league up

I'd say this is pretty spot on with mine too.

PG: Brunson
SG: Bernard King
SF: Carmelo
PF: Towns
C: Ewing

King was SF when he played in the 80’s but he would be a wing SG/SF today

One of the great what ifs. What if we don’t do the three way trade that sent away Mark Jackson and got us Charles Smith. What if we resign X-Man. That 1992 team was the closest we ever got to beating Jordan

That would be awesome - he was part of that bomb squad with Pitino that played above their heads!
