The New York Knickerbockers, known as
the Knicks, are one of only two charter
members of the National Basketball Association
still in their original cities (the other
being the Boston Celtics). The Knicks
were among the league's elite in three
different eras, each separated by about
two decades. In the early 1950s New York
played for the NBA title three times.
The early 1970s represented the team's
golden age, when the Knicks won two NBA
championships with a roster studded with
such Hall of Fame talent as Willis Reed,
Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere, Earl Monroe,
and Bill Bradley. Then, in the 1990s,
the Knicks again became dominant behind
center Patrick Ewing, advancing to the
NBA Finals in 1994 and 1999. Buy
