10. Dick Barnett, SG

  • 1965-74
  • 15.8 PPG, 2.8 APG
  • Member of 1970 and 1973 Championship Teams
  • 8th in franchise history with 9,942 points

Dick Barnett, the lefty with the strange jumper, was often the forgotten man on both Knicks Championship squads.

His shot was something out of fiction. Curling down and propelling himself up only to have his legs pop up in a frog-like motion had most questioning why the Knicks would ever let him touch the ball. 9,942 points later in nine seasons with New York and Barnett is absolutely entrenched in Knicks history forever.
