NEW YORK, October 6, 2004 – New York Knickerbockers Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Operations Anucha Browne Sanders announced today that the team has hired former player John Starks in a newly created position of alumni relations and fan development advisor.
"John Starks is one of the most popular players in Knicks history, not only for his play on the court, but also for his fiery leadership and civic responsibility," Browne Sanders said. "We are very excited to have him back with the team in this new full-time role."

Starks, 39, will be involved in the day-to-day efforts to expand the Knicks Alumni Relations, Community Relations and Fan Development programs. He will also play a role in MSG Network television and radio broadcasts and provide support in the team's sponsor and suite sales efforts.

“New York is my home away from home and the time was right to join the Knicks again on a non-playing level in the front office,” Starks said. “I have a great relationship with New York fans, as well as our current and former players. I am looking forward to gaining experience and learning this business."

During his eight-year career in New York (1990-91 through 1997-98), Starks’ all-out style of play stamped him as a Garden favorite, the heart and soul of a Knicks team that became one of the NBA’s elite squads of the decade. An NBA All-Star in 1994, Starks was named to the NBA’s All-Defensive Second Team in 1992-93 and was the League’s Sixth Man of the Year in 1996-97. In 602 career games as a Knick, Starks averaged 14.1 points and 4.0 assists on .423 shooting. The Knicks’ career leader in
three-point field goals (982), John is also 11th in total points (8,489), eighth in assists (2,394) and seventh in steals (711) on the all-time franchise lists.

In 1994, Starks averaged a career-high 19.0 points in helping to lead the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Championship. The year before, he authored one of the most famous plays in team history: “The Dunk”, a driving, lefthanded tomahawk slam in the final minute of New York’s 96-91 win over Chicago in Game Two of the Eastern Conference Finals (May 25, 1993).
