The New York Knicks have always been a franchise that has eyed that next star talent. They have long desired a player who could come in to be the face of both the franchise and city. Fans are also on the side of this with their willingness to watch a player revitalize the team and take them back to being a perennial contender.

Over the decades, New York has been fortunate enough to be the place where the likes of Patrick Ewing and Carmelo Anthony shined countless times. But because of poor drafts and free agent busts, the team has constantly been on the wrong side of history. Thus, the team has looked elsewhere for any kind of help to uplift their franchise from the gutter and into becoming a relevant winner in the NBA.

These five players are some of many whom the Knicks brought in to help rejuvenate the team. All of these talents only spent one season with the Knicks, but they each became fan favorites in their own way.

Most were already past their prime days but still managed to perform at a high level for a franchise who desperately needed them to do so. Meanwhile, one player in this list jumpstarted his career in a way no one could have foreseen coming. In short, all five of these players made the most of their quite short tenure with the Knicks.

Dozens and dozens of talents were considered, but here are the top five greatest one-season wonders in Knicks franchise history.
