      Mason definitely had great all around skills for his size back then. He was great for the Knicks in the 90's.

      he was the left-handed version of Draymond Green, a guy that can guard multiple positions and run the offense from the three and four spot. @@rooseveltdarbey9493

    Man Larry Johnson was motivated against his former team, he was playing with an edge of determination in this game. Anthony Mason as well was motivated against his former Knicks team.

      I don’t blame LJ , he was the franchise player and reason Charlotte was popular in the 90’s then they just gave up on him right after his amazing 1996 bounce back season , Charlotte still hasn’t even retired his # which is beyond disrespectful

      @@andresdelportillo9917 they gave him an 84 million deal for 12 years and they just decided to trade him away but we have to look at upper management of the Charlotte Hornets George Shinn played the key factor in trading Mourning LJ and other players and it came from not paying market value to keep the popular nba players in Charlotte
      The Hornets made no attempt to keep Vlade Divac along with Glen Rice

    Knicks should’ve been in the eastern conference finals against the Bulls in 97. League did them dirty for their brawl against the Heat.

      I am a Knicks fan. The more I grow older, the more I REALIZE Knicks players were just big babies who couldn't control themselves. Buck Williams told Ewing to not leave bench in game 5 brawl vs Heat in Miami who didn't listen because of his Ego.
