Favorite basketball teams - New York Knicks

The New York Knickerbockers (better known and known as the New York Knicks) are a team of the National Basketball Association based in New York City. In addition to the Boston Celtics, they are the only team that is still outside their hometown. The team played their first game on November 1, 1946 against the Toronto Huskies, in Toronto. During their early years, the Knicks were constantly seen in the playoffs. His team remained stable but never spectacular.

Then, from 1960 to 1966, the Knicks became the bottom of the barrel, finishing last in the NBA forum Eastern Division every year. A giant loss during this time was for the Lakers on November 15, 1960, with a pathetic score of 162-100. In another game in March 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored an NBA record of 100 points against the team.

In 1964, the Knicks selected Willis Reed, who became the Rookie of the Year in 1965, and in 1967, the franchise reached the playoffs for the first time since 1959. At this point, they hired a new coach (Red Holzman) and they continued their trips to the playoffs, passing the first round in 1969. The following season saw the best record of wins and losses for their team since it emerged (60-22). This time, they managed to defeat the Bucks to win the division finals and the Lakers to win the NBA finals. This began a path to success for the Knicks, with a return to the Finals in 1972. They again defeated the Lakers to win the championship.

After this, the Knicks advanced to the Finals of the Eastern Conference for the last time in the 1973-74 season, after an impressive regular season, only to be eliminated from the championship led by the Boston Celtics. After this loss, the team began to withdraw to their previous condition in a depression. The Knicks have always been a team of ups and downs, but their fan base has been loyal fans in the good and bad times. This is one of the advantages of being a team that has remained in one place throughout its rich history.
