The man that started this championship run...

Could have gone with Little Nate here, but this HOF player played 13 seasons, 12 with knicks and spent two years in military (Korea)! This guy had an interesting career too.....

Carl Braun was more than a Knick. He was more than a basketball player. After his first three seasons with the team, Carl Braun also served two years in the United States Army. Braun’s career was off to a hot start before his time served. During his first three seasons with the Knicks from 1947-50, Braun averaged 14.6 points per game. It would be great to mention how many rebounds he averaged during those years, but rebounds were not a stat that was kept record of back then. Braun, a Nassau County native, was an incredible athlete but went undrafted and signed a contract with the New York Yankees. As a member of the Yankees farm system Braun appeared in just 35 games over the course of two seasons. During baseball’s 1947 offseason, Braun signed with the New York Knicks. On December 6th, 1947, he set an NBA single game season record of 47 points. Even after becoming a member of the New York Knicks, he would still pitch one more season with the Yankees organization, becoming one of the first two-way athletes in sports history. Over the course of a 13-year career, Braun was a five-time All-Star, and was a member of the 1962 NBA Champion Boston Celtics. Legend even has it that the term “swish” became the popular term that it is today thanks in large part to Carl Braun, who would often say it after a good shot during warm-ups.

In a list of Elfrid Payton, Andrea Bargniani, and Tim Thomas, you draw the line at Starbury? Let the man enjoy his Vaseline from the Uncle seats!
