Giveaway: Lacer Fitted Hats

Leave a comment and win some dope headwear.

We’ve got three cool Lacer hats—pictured above, in those exact colors—to give away to our readers, and all you have to do to enter the contest is leave a comment below.

And since the first of the three hats is New York Knick-themed, we’re looking for some Knickerbocker-themed comments. So here’s the question:

Who’s your favorite Knick of all time?

Pretty simply, tell us who your favorite member of the New York Knicks (active or retired) is and why. Did you have a childhood attachment to any Knick? Were you (or are you) a huge fan of anyone on the team’s style of play? Have a Knicks jersey of a certain player that you love to rock? Let us know.

We’ll select our favorite three comments and send each of the winners a free hat. And if you want to cop a Lacer fitted for yourself, hit up www.lacerheadwear.com and check out their shop—there’s plenty of dope stuff there.

Good luck!

    John Starks…i still wear #3 to this day any chance i get in his honor..his drive and determination are what made me the basketball player i am today…from the stories of him bagging groceries b4 goin to the cba and workin all the way up jus to get knocked on his ass by patrick ewing so that he could make the team thru a loophole sort of exemplifies his whole career and the passion he had for hoops..had to get knocked down a few times to make it to the top..i pride my game on defense and hustle because i dont have the same natural gifts that others have and I owe a lot of what makes me a good player to watchin the 90s knicks but more specifically john starks

    My favorite Knick of all time also happens to be the greatest.

    Number Three. What John Starks was to the Knicks transcends single moments like a dunk on MJ, or a head butt on Reggie, or a cold game 7. And it’s bigger than another rags to riches, undrafted to NBA story.

    The same way that the number 3 embodied his game, John Starks defined what a New York Knick is. He was the center. There is a generation of people alive right now that love basketball because of the Knicks of the 90′s. They subconsciously rise and fall along with the Knicks; they would recognize Landry Fields if they saw him on the street. They refer to the Knicks as ‘us’ and call us out when necessary because they are attached. Starks battled anybody for us, on every night, every year, and so we do the same.

    He was why we had rivalries. John Starks was why kids could walk among the sea of Bulls jerseys that infiltrated every high school. When John Starks released a 3 pointer an entire people would salivate simultaneously. The Knicks of the last decade have lacked the things that this definition is all about. It’s beyond toughness and team play. It’s that if you were not leading by more than 10 points going into the 4th quarter, you stood no chance of winning at Madison Square Garden. John Starks was the heart of all that.

    And don’t forget that NBA All Defensive team in ’92…

    Fave Knick right now has got to be Amar’e Stoudemire. He just brings it everyday, and has great intensity. He’s got a great all around game. He can dominate in the paint and can hit that mid-range jumper. He wants to win every single game. I love rockin’ his jersey wherever I go. He’s a great captain and hopefully he’ll bring one home to NY while he’s a Knick.

    I’m only 19 years old so I grew up watching the Knicks in the late 90′s and my favorite knick to watch was Allan Houston. He was a great player and teammate and came through in the clutch. I still own his jersey and find myself wearing it from time to time. Let’s go Knicks!

    As crazy as it sounds…John Starks is my favorite all-time Knickerbocker. I hated the Knicks….and I mean HATED the KNICKS due to the fact that I was a Jordan and Bulls fan growing up. Starks earned my respect though and become a guy I could root for as long as they weren’t playing the Bulls. I love a guy that can hit the long ball and still be tough enough to get in the face of any man he is guarding and just shut him down! John wasn’t afraid of Mike or the Bulls and that is why he is my man on the Knicks. Looking out for that #3 jersey SPIKE!

    I’m only 14 years old, but from everything Ive watched and re-searched about the NY KNICKS, my all time favorite HAS to be Dave DeBusschere. Lemme tell you why, In basketball everyone always makes a big deal about offensive plays. There is very few people who ask about defensive numbers. Defense is just about WANT and Desire! Thats what Dave had, and he also had an amazing work ethic that I strive to achieve every day of my life. Dave’s want, desire, and work ethic got him 2 NBA Championships, a 5 time NBA all-star, and a 6 time NBA all-team selection, and a 1 time All-NBA selection. This dude was a coaches dream, and why not have him to be one of my all time favorites. Thanks SLAM! Always my favorite magazine! P.S- You can always catch me rockin’ my DeBusschere jersey!

  • Jordan Valdés

    My favorite Knick of all time is Jamal Crawford. He comes up big in the clutch all the time. I do have his jersey.

  • Paul Provencher

    John Starks. This guy has to be an inspiration to everybody out there failing to believe in their dreams. Even though he wasn’t drafted, and released after only one year with the Warriors, the Knicks signed him. While playing in New York, he made All-Defensive second team in ’92-’93, played in the ’94 All-Star game and was named 6th man of the year in ’96-’97. Great player.

  • Glenn L.

    It’s gotta be Allan Houston, owner of one of the sweetest shots EVER. Next to Ray Allen, his shot has to be the smoothest of any shooter above 6’4. Who could forget that shot versus the Heat in the playoffs? Willis Reed limping back on the court was huge, but I mostly remember him from being a NJ Net coach. Allan Houston all the way!

  • BEN ZONAH

    Gotta b Starbury. He just looked so cool on the court and in the Pages of SLAM

  • K-fizzle

    Can I say Spike Lee? Haha. Favorite Knick has gotta be patrick Ewing, this guy should have a ring. His game was outstanding and I love this guy. Seeing him play was the best day. He could score easily and he was an all around great center. He had everything you would want in a player.

  • Jake Munckton

    My favourite would have to be Walt “Clyde” Frazier. He was such a unique player and mainly because this is in the theme of winning a hat, he bought hats like they were groceries. He had a really good beard also.

  • Geek

    Reggie Miller……..duh!

    :)
