John Starks: New York Knicks Legend | The G.O.A.T. Show 025 - a podcast by Mike Arce

Let’s be clear, growing up… John Starks was my favorite player.  I knew all his stats, all his moves, his history, and his rivals.  I chose #3 for all my jerseys while playing sports and even brought in his basketball card to the barbershop so the barber can cut my hair just like his.

It wasn’t just because he was an incredible player.  He was the HEART of the team. The city loved him and when he got hot, he got HOT!

He’d be asked to guard the toughest players in history, such as Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler, and Michael Jordan.  And he pretty much got each of those guys riled up at one point or another.

Whether you’re an athlete, a business person, or an employee… learning how to play/work with passion and become the heart of your team and the energy that fuels everyone is invaluable.

Still, to this day, I’ve never seen anyone work like Starks did. I’ve never seen anyone care so much about the city and overcoming the odds.  And in this interview, we cover it all…

As well as a friendly game of H.O.R.S.E…. I mean G.O.A.T.S.
