The team’s early years date back to 1946 when they were known as the New York Knickerbockers short after they changed the name to NY Knicks.
Despite the Knicks‘ late start they recovered and by the early 1950’s they achieved several division titles.
During the mid 1980’s the Knicks obtained the number one NBA draft and they pick Georgetown University center Patrick Erwing.
This turned up to be a great move as Erwing changed the luck of the Knicks with the additional help of Head Coach Rick Pitino.
Some other very important Knicks players have been: Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Earl Monroe, Tom Gola and Bill Bradley. |
After the 1998-1999 season NBA finals lost to Indiana Pacers; the NY Knicks have tried in vain to win another title. During the 2007-2008 season the Knick had one of the worst season performances with a .280 winning percentage only 23 wins to 59 loses.
Since 1968 the $123 million Madision Square Garden sports facility has been the home of the the Knicks.
