If I dunked on Jordan, I'd have a painting too.
Jordan Pippen and Grant
Idk he really didn't get Jordan to me, MJ was definitely in the area but he didn't bang on or over him 🤷🏽♂️
Dunked on? GTFOOH. It was a slow rotation...wasn't Jordan's man to guard. Blew by BJ and yammed on Horace.
@@CoolHandLukeDuke did Jordan contest the dunk
@Clyde Cromey did Jordan jump
"Flash the heat on him he stood emotionless" 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😂😂😂😂💯
Wesley Pipes ☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😎
Drop the glass screaming don't blast, here's the stash🤣💯
John Starks is the man! I got his Knicks jersey in 1995 and I still have it! I love how even when they lied to him and told him the cameras were off, he still said nothing. He was a streaky player when he was “off” it was ugly but when he was “on” it was glorious! He was the heart of those Knicks.
He is. I loved him as a Knick, he got heart for days. I loved that whole era of Knicks Basketball.
From the cba to the NBA and the 1994 Finals! Respect to John Starks!
Man I Miss John Starks!! One Of My Favorite NBA Idols From The 90's!!!
@ @Ted Grizzly - Hell Yeah Man!
Facts Fam
@ @@shawngriffin4492 - 💯
Idol?
@ @@07Honcho - Yup.
"From bagging groceries to the Knicks to the NBA" ...it's every Knicks player's dream to one day play for the NBA
Lmaooo
I’m dead 💀
Lol the Knicks are the richest team in the league soo anyways
LOOOL
@@russelljohnson437 Ace?
R.I.P. Anthony Mason. R.I.P. Notorious BIG.
Yea he passed a few years ago
When he die😞
@@juliusmoore4865 2015
Anthony Mason was 6 feet 8 inches my brother in-law coach him at Tennessee state
Paul Chandler big never said the player was exactly 6’5”. He answered who was it? with “Idk one of those 6’5” n*ggas!”
"A hunnid cash, just don't shoot my ass" hahahaha!
In my opinion Stark's dunk is the all time greatest because it was such a surprise & came out of nowhere! I saw it on TV and cheered...I was a bulls fan too! ❤️ Stark's & East Coast bball back in the 90's.
I’m a Celtic through and through but Bernard King and John Starks were some serious ballers. Respected both of them immensely.
F*** Boston!
His baseline dunk on the Bulls is still one of the coldest dunks I've ever seen... and I say this as a huge Bulls fan back then....
Scottie Pippen on Ewing....
stark's a G, he aint snitching
You have to be, to stand up to MJ. MJ was a GOD but John sure gave him a run for his money.
Inakablues how did he did that mike is 6 and 0 ur talking about one play lol and the next game mike gave him 53 he was no competition for real
I wasn't talking about one play. I so happened to follow the Bulls vs Knicks rivalry back then. All I meant that it wasn't easy for MJ. That's what giving somone a run for his money means. It means making it hard for someone.
TheDelzShow yup - aint it funny... Starks aint even from the street. The rappers who claim to be - snitch all the time - LOL
TULSA'S OWN....
Those were some great Knick teams with epic battles with the Pacers and Bulls. When New York basketball was relevant...........
And against Miami....
I loved those games man. Knicks vs Bulls. They were ruff af
I miss those defensive games not like these days. These games now no defense.
If the Knicks fans had to pick just one team... Who was New York’s rival in the 1990s: Bulls, Pacers or Heat?
Knicks Coming back no worries
Starks a real one for not giving up the name. He solid.
John starks did not break he said nothing he holding it down take notes ppl 💪💪
These dudes are messy
Facts!!!!!!
iRIZE Super Solid!
Can't make me say what I don't wanna say.....beg all you want!!
See John was official for this. BIG gone and others running their mouth about who it was about. Salute u for this Starks.
"the camera's off its just me and you" LMAO
Why everybody act like BIG had to be 100% accurate? The person doesnt have to be EXACTLY 6'5" ... smh
Exactly !
What he was saying is dude was tall lol
Exactly... dude was tall... dats it
But it wasn't him it was Anthony Mason
@@who919 we solidified that fact. We were trying to open eyesto the metaphor my G
Stark looks like he in the 90s
It's called being humble asshole
He's from the 90s
no need for flashy clothing
You sound like you missed most of school.
NBA hairtie How? He looks he just got off the gold course to do an interview. You nerds are wack af.
that's love when your girl marries you before the fame and millions when he was working at safeway making $3.25hr
He sacked groceries at a store in my hometown
LDG 508 real talk 👏🏿👏🏿
That’s the way it should be. You stick with the people who will build with you. Not the people that enter your world when your done building.
True love facts
$3.35!!
From Chicago, I spent all of the 90s hating this dude. He’s awesome! I saw the dunk too! Glad to see he’s doing well.
why would u hate him? with all the bricks he thru up he helped you guys win all your titles too.
I hated him too, but kudos for not snitching.
Basketball reference has John starks listed at 6'3 so it makes perfect sense that he'd say he was 6'2. He really is 6'2 but they always list players slightly taller than they really are
that dunk is as iconic a dunk in NBA history
I used to hate Starks back in the 90s , because he was such a good defender, and I was Jordan all the way.I"m glad to see you are doing good
Starks always played MJ tough and never backed down...I love that he got that painting,, it's tribute to his airness... dunkin on The GOAT is worthy of a painting for sure
Starks.... Was a true Floor General for the Knicks... Oh the 90's...
Remember when he went 2-19 in the championship
Floor General? he ain’t no Point Guard.
William Fuller ...He tried his hardest though. Respect to Starks and those old Knick squads!!!!!
He had some game & a lot of heart. Respect.
Shout out to Starks for not putting his man out there in an attempt to prove it wasn’t about him.👊🏾✌🏾
Bomani: Who's 6'5 on your team? Starks: I don't know. Hahaha!
One of my favorite Knicks!!! Dude brought it night in night out!!!!
John Starks was a monster on the court !!
🤨
Grew up watching this man allen houston and patrick ewing all legends
The 1990s Knicks is my favourite team of all time
Mine too, the 93 Knicks
My favorite player of all time. Golden era of the Knicks. Greatest moment not dunking on Jordan, but head butting Reggie Miller. : )
Always a Bulls fan but mad respect for this cat! He stuck to the code of the streets!💯
"Brought chrome for situations like this I'm up in his broad I know he don't like this"
John Starks, off them loud packs ☁☁🗽
All gas
Wow, That's exactly how I proposed to my wife, went to the courthouse that same day and we been married 20 years now.
I still have his jersey and shorts till this day obviously one of my fav players i was a BIG new York knick fan back then, even tho im from Mississippi don't judge me LOL
Out of Oklahoma State Standing 6’5 at Guard Joooooooohn Starksssssss. The good ole Knick days.
Saw this documentary on Netflix and it brought me here. Just to see how old this video is- being that it's my first time seeing this interview is crazy lol!
Same
What documentary?
@@patrickperdue3051 Biggie smalls on Netflix.
Thanks for the memories
Great show!! Thanks.
Thats loyalty right there! They tried to got him to drop a dime. It will NEVER happen! Knick for life.
One of the greatest players to watch ever yo Starks had heart and was a hustler. Most famous Streak shooter
The only truth is we know it wasn't charles oaklys.wife ...that dudes not pissing himself for nobody
Lol. Yeah Oak not the 1.
He didn't say because it was Anthony Mason....and he didn't wanna disrespect his dead homeboy and teammate
David Jeffery actually this interview was before Anthony Mason passed.
Oak walking into his own house with the ski mask on 😂 that’s how ruthless he is
@@rjcrooks1182 exactly lmfao
In case anyone wants to know, the song is about Anthony Mason commonly called "Mase" as a New York Knick.
I think it was hubert Davis too ..they even used a character to fit his description
Funny...John Starks went his whole career saying that he's 6'5" now to defend himself he says he's 6'2"
He's listed as 6"3 so he probably is 6"2 without shoes 6"3 with shoes.
It wasn't him though it was Mason.
I met him in person. He is probably 6'2. I'm sure is not 6'5 tall.
🤣🤣
@@FUJIWALOVER they constantly lie about players heights... some just a little, some a lot. Aka 2-3 inches. My son plays at a small college in Kentucky, and he's 6'3 but listed at 6'4... meanwhile they have players listed at 5'11, and I'm 6ft, and I'm 2-3 inches taller than them.
It was Anthony Mason ppl... 🙄
Melvin Pruitt Fat Joe confirmed it on Highly Questionable 2 or 3 years ago. It was Mason (RIP)
@@melvinpruitt3907 He was listed as 6'8, just like Starks was listed at 6'5 but really 6'2.
Melvin Pruitt I gotcha
Jimmy Henchmen told Biggie the story in the studio and Biggie made the song right after... Hints the name of the track is Story to Tell #facts
Leland Levy facts!!
Rapper Fat Joe already came on First Take or Undisputed and admitted it was Anthony Mason. Fat Joe thought it was already out. He didn’t purposely spill the beans, he thought people knew already. After the backlash, he apologized because he genuinely didn’t mean to offend anyone or reveal something people didn’t know.
It was on this show. Le batard was trying to figure this out for years
He coincidentally did it shortly after Mason passed, though.
What line from Biggie?
@@DavidWynnDJ listen to the song "I got a story to tell" . you'll easily figure out the line.
As soon as I wrote you, I remembered! Peace and stay safe.
As A Bulls fan I honestly can say Starks had me stressed after that first game of the 92 playoff Knicks game which after so many years he was A big problem for the Bulls. Great player especially when he got off.
sniperjay0916 bro I thought I was the only one LMAO 😂😂 and I used to hate this dude he used to kill us from Beyond that three-point line man
@@diohpeah371 Man I was working at T.S.U walked out,quit my job the morning of the second game cause like the rise of the new Knickerbockers Starks had me more shook and worried more than all of them!I just hope MJ show that man the upmost respect over all of them cause Starks was truly A beast when he was focused.
Fat Joe confirmed it was Anthony Mason😐
Anthony Mason and Biggie Smalls are both BLACK and UGLY as EVER However 🎶🎶🎶
How would Fat Joe Know, was he there???
@@DrewAndrews Biggie told him.
Formally known as Rex X great time
King Stan Fat Joe is far from a culture vulture. A gossiper, he maybe though.
John starks need to be in the big 3
John Starks was an awesome player. The generations should watch him
Rap history...great song great story great album
John starks was my favorite player when I was a kid.
Dwayne Smith why??
6'5 was a figure of speech. BIG was referencing a ball player.. average baller is over 6 feet. Point is, it happened
The average NBA basketball player is 6' 7".
@@hudsonhaverford1319 point is 6 foot and over. 6ft 6'7 its 6 and over. This story is old and not worth talking about anyway.
Wow that's crazy! Big up to John Starks
lmao "I'm not sure" (who was 6'5") @ 2:48
Everyone in NY knows it was Anthony Mason at that time
Wut makes u say A. Mason🤔
@@shotresorts6180 Fat Joe lmao. Spilled the beans like a year after he died
Wow
@@shotresorts6180 he did it on this exact same show to. Think it was like 2 years after this.
Fat Joe said it on this show
Anthony Mason. Shocking after all these years ppl don't know it was Mason. Lol
Great stuff..
None...... BUT I HAVE A PAINTING!! 😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
now I gotta go to the Big video to hear the story, and read: "John Starks sent me here"
Patrick me too 🤣🤣🤣
Starks is a cool cat for breaking dude off some skrill.
I always wondered who this song was about.....I love the song..
👑🐐#1 R.I.P BIG
I always thought it was about Allan Houston or Hubert Davis.
Allan Houston is 6'6". Hubert Davis is 6'5".
Anthony Mason y'all it happen in 1995 Lol😂🤣🤷🏽♂️
The story was about Anthony Johnson.
Who tf is that? 😂 you mean Anthony Mason
I was looking at the description and I thought it said "with Dan Le Bastard"
Lmao, your not the only one...lol
Starks was the first Nigga I thought of in 97
song came out in what like 95?
BAM DAM 97 Nigga.. March
SDS Overfiend oh ok so this whole incident happened in 97 lmao it was probably doug christie
BAM DAM I think so.. personally. Starks wasnt Marry IIRC..
Starks' an OG, he ain't talking
Starks was the man in NY in the 90s...he not only dunked on Jordan it was Jordan and Pippin. Starks has a great line of Cigars now too
Lmao loved that song...it was anthony mason.
When I was a kid I always thought it was Allen Houston 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anthony Mason
One of my favorites Knicks moments....even.doug it wasn't a face dunk over Jordan but the fact that he jumped and tried to block him it was enough for the fans and a 6'2 Bulls enemy. Jordan killed NY most of the games and tension was super hi every time they played. That dunk wasn't about hitting you while dunking like the Pippen over Ewing......this was an underdog that wasn't supposed to do that and it went HUGE.!!!!
Even a Chicago guy had to respect it.... I was like what we gone do bout that.....high intensity moment in basketball
Well said. I had that poster in my room, but it was just a moment. Jordan was too much for Starks, but I loved that Starks gave it his all trying to defend Jordan.
then he pissed jordan so much, jordan willed his Bulls to win 4 straight. still a G tho.
Very nice calm deportment big up starks
The song was about Anthony Mason.
Say 2 for 18 to a KNICKS fan from that era....and watch the reaction....lol
Just a bad night at the worst time.
@@erichall3090 Hey we lived and died with Starks....that one game KILLED us
I'm shocked that he admitted that he's 6-2. One of the few ballers that admits that they have been given inches in their height listing.
Kevin love exposed the inch game a few years ago, he's listed at 6'10 but Is only 6'8 so if Charles was already undersized I wonder how tall he actually is🤔🧐
To this day. I can't believe Stark's dunked over Jordan and left handed make it more crazier.
That’s how you propose. 💯 Shout out to John’s Starks a Knicks legend 🏀 💍
Man did this dude just did this?
LMAO
The 30 for 30 when he was talking about Reggie Miller? LMAO
Bryan Zazaian You Right!
Lol. My brother said that to me the other day.
Jared Banks I thought I was the only one that realized that he just DID That!
Never thought Starks was 6’5. Where’d they get that from😂
Taco Bell his listed height, but he did look at least 3 inches shorter than Jordan. I believe 6’2 when he says it
It just to get him talking.. Worked perfectly
Starks was a beast favorite knick of all time and it wasnt just Jordan I believe it was Jordan and Grant
The first guy i thought of when John Starks said he was only 6'2" and not 6'5" the only other guy i thought of was Hubert Davis too i believe he was the only guy on that knick team around that height
"I'm in that ass while they playin 'gainst the Utah Jazz, My 112 CD blast..." 112 CD release August 27, 1996. December 17th 1996 the Knicks beat the Jazz 99-94. I'm willing to bet it was Allan Houston.
Platinum Swords Man you're good! Daaaammmn lol
two plus two my dude lol
Houston came to the knicks in like 1998
***** "In 1996 after his rookie contract expired, Houston signed as a free agent with the New York Knicks, for whom he played for the next nine seasons." - Google
Burton82190 oh
He dunked on mj and Horace grant.
No just Horace
starks never dunked on michael. Michael wasn't gaurding him, he came over to help and ended up in the frame after the dunk.
bullshark bruh I’m one of the hugest mj fans.. bruh it don’t matter if he came over to help.. he came over to help and got swept up in the dunk..so if it was the other way around and Jordan dunked on Oakley and mason came to help.. you would have said that Jordan dunked on both of them.. it’s ok to say Jordan was human
lol I was listening to this song earlier today XD
They lied about his height he was listed 6'5"
But you knew it then if you hooped
Saw him at basketball camp in middle school. I thought he was probably 6' 1".
I seen him n real life.. He is like 6'3 6'4..
If biggie said he was 6,5 the Nba would list that person at 6,7 or 6,8
🎶Im-in-his-A$$🎼 🎶While-he-played-against-the- 🎶Utah-JAZZ🎼 BIGGIE WAS HILARIOUS!!!
Starks look like my boi David Weldon, but David is still bagging groceries.
Starks was a real dude kept his mouth shut, the streets respect that
Anthony Mason
Starks was my favorite player never back down.
You have to have worked in a grocery store to realize it's a real difference between bagging and stocking🤣💯
