Knicks alumni chief John Starks donated scrubs to hospitals Saturday and got a shout-out from Mayor de Blasio at his Saturday press conference.
“Thank you to John Starks — he has dished out an assist,’’ de Blasio said. “This time not with a basketball, but with 3,000 scrubs for our health care workers.”
Starks, the former Knicks shooting guard on the 1994 Finals team, also recorded a remote workout video for the Department of Education and PSAL basketball to encourage in-home activity during the coronavirus pandemic.
Knicks executive Allan Houston recorded a shooting video for kids via NBA Cares and the Knicks’ website.
In addition, rookie Ignas Brazdeikis recorded readings of children’s books for the Garden of Dreams Foundation. And Frank Ntilikina recorded a video for the Garden’s Make a Wish Foundation.
Knicks power forwards Julius Randle and Bobby Portis recently donated $180,000 worth of meals to a New York City food bank and each made a $50,000 donation to the charity.
