Guard – Earl Monroe
One of the flashiest players in NBA history, Earl “The Pearl” Monroe helped the team win their second NBA championship in 1973. He formed a great partnership with Walt Frazier, terrorising the league with their entertaining style of play.
Monroe was also a two-time All-Star with the Knicks and sits eighth in the franchise's all-time scoring list. However, his career was shortened by knee injuries in 1980. His No. 15 jersey has been retired by the Knicks. He was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1990 and he was part of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history in 1996.
Honourable Mention: Guard – Mark Jackson
A New York-native, Mark Jackson was drafted 18th overall by the Knicks in 1987. Along with Patrick Ewing, Jackson helped the Knicks become playoff contenders. However, he spent just five seasons in New York after getting traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in 1992. Jackson ranks second in the team’s all-time assists and sixth in steals.
