Also, only the top two selections qualify. All the others happened when the Knicks weren't favored to win it. Ewing was ancient when Layden came along. The Bulls were favored to win it anyway when the Knicks got the whole team suspended. Bernard King probably wouldn't have fit in well with Ewing and the only reason they got Ewing in the first place is because King tore up his knee.
Starks shooting cost the Knicks the Finals, and Smith's bricking cost the Knicks the only series they had an edge over the Bulls.
