NBA 2K19: 1994-1995 New York Knicks Player Ratings and Roster

Ewing was an All-Star, Starks was the top 3-point shooter in the league and Anthony Mason was the 6th man of the year. This combination of talent across the roster sure sounds like a recipe for success. It actually was to some extent, with the Knicks finishing 2nd in the East and a 55-27 record. However, they would exit the playoffs early with a conference semifinals loss to the Pacers, 3 games to 4.
