John Starks’ Game-Used New York Knicks Jersey: A Piece of NBA History

A Testament to Basketball Excellence

In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the essence of the game like a game-worn jersey. This particular jersey, worn by the legendary John Starks during the 1997-1998 NBA season, is a remarkable artifact that embodies the spirit and tenacity of the New York Knicks.

Detailed Craftsmanship and Authenticity

The jersey is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines elite sportswear. On the front left tail, a “STARTER” manufacturer’s tag proudly declares, “Designed And Tailored Exclusively For The NEW YORK KNICKS.” This is accompanied by a “97/98” year tag, a size “48” tag, and a “3” L.B. tag, ensuring the garment’s authenticity and historical significance.

On the left chest, the official “NBA” logo is elegantly embroidered, symbolizing the league’s prestige. Across the chest, the iconic “NEW YORK” is emblazoned, with the player number “3” prominently displayed on both the front and back. These elements are crafted in vibrant orange on blue tackle twill, a nod to the Knicks’ storied legacy.

John Starks: A Knicks Legend

John Starks, known for his fiery competitiveness and clutch performances, has left an indelible mark on the NBA. His name, “STARKS,” is sewn directly into the white mesh jersey in blue tackle twill, a fitting tribute to his contributions to the team. Starks’ signature graces the inside of the back player number “3” in black marker, and in our opinion, it rates an 8 overall.
