Former Knicks guard, John Starks, has suggested that a controversial Notorious B.I.G. lyric, long-associated with him, did have some truth to it.
In Biggie’s “I Got A Story to Tell” track on his 1997 album “Life After Death”, the rapper alludes to a triste with a woman connected with a player from the New York Knicks.
Many speculated that the lyric (and extensive chatter at the end of the song) was a subliminal confirmation of an extra-marital affair surrounding Starks’ wife. “The shit she kicked, all the shit’s legit / She get dick from a player off the New York Knicks.”
Talking on US television this week, Starks was, out-of-the-blue, quizzed about the lyric. He denied it was about him, but did reveal: “I know who it was about, but I’m not going to say.”
The mystery continues…
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
