Who are the 30 best Knicks of all-time?
After reading about the Pistons' 30-best players list event, I figured I'd try to name the 30 best Knicks. It's much harder than I thought it'd be.
You start with the retired numbers... Walt Frazier... Dick Barnett... Earl Monroe... Dick McGuire... Willis Reed... Dave DeBusschere... Bill Bradley... Patrick Ewing...
That's eight right there. Now, with 22 to go, trouble begins.
Some definites: Allan Houston... Mark Jackson... John Starks... Charles Oakley... Bernard King...
There are 17 spots left, and where do you go from here? I admit it's hard for me to judge anyone into the 1970s. Some recent candidates: Anthony Mason, Latrell Sprewell (hey, helped them make the finals), Bill Cartwright (guy was in a Knick uniform much longer than you'd think).
Help!

You have to add Marvin Webster in there with Cartwright (I can't say his name anymore without putting on my attempt at an Asian accent and yelling it...thanks, Seinfeld).
Marvin and Bill: The Twin Towers!
Great Cartwright Seinfeld reference!!!
What about Phil Jackson or Charlie Ward, I would even add Larry Johnson and Kurt Thomas, the guys that helped the Knicks get to the Finals in '99. There aren't many I can think of between '75-85' the knicks pretty much sucked for a while back then after their 2 championships.
