Interesting story on how one play, one dunk changed NBA defenses

I always liked John Starks but here Jeff Van Gundy recalls how this one play exposed a serious defensive problem that caused teams to alter defenses - and to this day even the Bulls still use the technique this dunk provoked...

Sorry, but that was a waste of a couple minutes of my life reading that garbage.
The only reason that play (the dunk by Starks which as a Bulls fan, I recall well) is of any significance is because it was the New York Knicks- New York is clearly the center of everyone's universe. Only there can something as insignificant as one dunk in a game they lost, in a series they lost, have even an iota of significance. The never won a championship because of Jordan and the Bulls, and even now they are subservient to DRose's Bulls, and a number of other more talented teams in the NBA.
So now since they have been losers for the last couple decades, those loser Knicks fans and their media want to try to take credit for helping the Bulls win their many championships, and take credit for some mythical change that it's unlikely they or Starks' dunk ever had anything to do with in the first place.
Now I've wasted another couple minutes of my life.
