Sports make a profound impact on many lives worldwide, with different codes appealing to different people, mostly due to regional preferences. The United States game of Basketball has been a long time home based tradition and past time for over 90 years, having become a professional sport in the 1920s.

Basketball has been around for over 100 years, initially created in a gym class to allow a teacher to maintain the class fitness of his students on a rainy and to keep them active. This approach was limited by the weather conditions and the field of play, a gymnasium. A compromise was found through the early creation of basketball, which used a peach basket as a hoop. In its infancy, Basketball in contrast to today’s modern game was very jagged, it paved the way for real development and became one of the greatest achievements in the field of sports in the country to date.

With the creation of professional basketball came the creation of professional teams. Whilst some have a long and luscious history and others have an exciting chapter to their beginning, none seem to encapsulate the presence that is maintained by the New York Knickerbockers. Commonly referred to as the New York Knicks or ‘Knicks’, this professional team was established in 1946 and maintains its presence in the Manhattan area of New York City, doing battle on the field at Madison Square Garden. Almost any person who has heard of Basketball knows of 1 or more professional Basketball teams and almost each and every time, the New York Knicks are mentioned.

The New York Knicks have managed to maintain a healthy presence and fan base since their inauguration, which some believe to be held by the fact that they are one of the only two teams from the original Basketball Association that are still located in their original city. Over the years they have pleased their fans and created themselves a rich and diverse history in the sport of B-Ball (Basketball). The Knicks have managed 2 Championships, 8 Conference Titles and 4 Division titles.

The Knicks great claim to fame was during their championship years of 1967 to 1975. These are considered by many to be their most successful time, playing the best basketball they would for years to come, but however this was a small stint in their history. After these golden moments, it seemed that the team made a turn for the worse and lost its winning ways in an era dubbed as the ‘after the championship years’. The stretched for 10 years until the arrival of player Patrick Ewing who seemed to revitalise the team. This all eventually led to the team as they are today, who seem to have a new found sense of pride and purpose in their games and are bringing back the spark of the championship years!

Don’t miss out on a revitalised game of excitement and action, only at Madison Square Garden (for home games). Be sure to check out discounted sports tickets and get the best seats in the house!
