Knicks legend John Starks has gone from “posterizing” all-time NBA great Michael Jordan to being tower-ized by Mayor Eric Adams.
The Adams administration has OK’d the installation of a white, 32-foot, 5G cell phone tower in front of Starks’ Kia dealership in Queens — a structure that dwarfs the tallest 7 footers the Knicks star played with and competed against in the 1990s — including Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon.
The tower at the corner of 87th Avenue and Queens Boulevard actually blocks the view of Starks’ name on the dealership from across the street.
Starks — whose legendary May 25, 1993 dunk over Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals sealed his stature as a New York sports legend — was so infuriated by the “eyesore” that he recently called Queens Borough President Donovan Richards to register a complaint.
Starks told Richards that he wasn’t given notice by the city before they decided to erect the tower about 10 feet from the front of his dealership.
The city Office of Technology & Innovation is overseeing the installation of 2,000 Link 5G street towers across the city to bolster service — including 18 that have caused an uproar in Community Board 8 on the Upper East Side.
Richards, a die-hard Knicks fan who fondly remembers Starks’ dunk over Jordan, said he supports the city’s wifi-expansion program but added that officials erred in their communication and siting of the Link 5G tower in front of Starks’ shop.
“Unless the city plans to install a hoop 10 feet up on the tower and fly Michael Jordan to Sunnyside so John Starks can dunk on him again, moving this pole is a small but important victory for transparency,” Richards told The Post.
“We appreciate the investment in expanding high-speed internet service across the borough, but just as Starks’ Knicks teams did from its front office, Queens deserves clear communication from the city ahead of any such installation when it comes to location — especially as residents have to pay for the 5G service these towers offer.”
So hilarious how Donnie defends Starks right to be a NIMBY about something he wasn't warned about yet when people complain about open streets he defiantly shits on small business owners and residents.

The Worst Choke Job In NBA History 1994 Game Seven Knicks vs Rockets.
Time to roll back the State !
Why EXACTLY do we need 5G? To turn on your toaster from the car, or tickle your dog from the subway? Freely download Beini from China, and beside infecting your machine with spyware, you can spy on all your neighbor's wifi. See what they are doing using their own cameras. So, now, you still want 5G? REALLY? Are you such a masochist?Just do what they tell you or you won't be good enough. You are still not good enough, and they will never let you be. This is how they break slaves, didn't you know. Grovel, please, or we will have to beat you.

How is it fake news? There's literally a picture of the tower. Liberals really are all idiots.
@"Time to roll back the State !"
So says someone living on welfare.
@"How is it fake news?"
Beacause it's not in the Troll's feed.
Good teachers teach critical thinking. Good teachers teach research. Good teachers teach that facts are objective, identifiable, have independent evidence, and are true. Good teachers can make liberals conservative, and conservatives liberal regardless of what their family wants. If all of this is true, then from someone on the outside can see the results that the UFT has done to the brainwashed.

Ok then, it's real news if you like it and fake news if you don't .
Anything to distract you from the invalid in chief running the country down the toilet bowl!
