There’s always something exciting about a ballyhooed rookie coming into town. New York Knicks rookie RJ Barrett is coming into the Big Apple with big expectations and a big personality to match.
The 19-year-old wanted to play for the Knicks and now he’s scoring some points with diehard fans.
“John Starks is one of my favorite players,” Barrett told Ben Detrick of GQ. “To see what the Knicks were able to do in the past, and how the city really got behind them—you want to get back there so badly.”
Starks is a legend in Madison Square Garden.
