The Knicks were a charter organization of the Basketball Association of America in 1946. Success wasn't hard to come by for New York in the early years, making the playoffs in each of the franchise's first 10 seasons and reaching the finals three times. In the late 1960s New York embarked on perhaps the franchise's greatest era. Red Holzman was hired as the head coach in 1967 and constructed a team that would compete with the NBA's elites. With a roster of eventual Hall-of-Famers in Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Dave DeBusschere, Bill Bradley and eventually Earl Monroe and Jerry Lucas, the Knicks won the NBA championship in the 1969-70 season. Emblematic of that season is the image of Reed limping onto the court to start Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers despite his debilitating leg injury. During the 1972-73 season the Knicks captured their second of two championships, once more at the expense of the Lakers. After winning the draft lottery and landing Patrick Ewing in the 1985 draft, the Knicks again experienced a stretch of success, reaching the NBA finals in 1994 and 1999. The Knicks have retired the numbers of eight players and retired the number 613 for Holzman. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for New York Knicks basketball tickets.

In Phil Jackson's third year as the Knicks general manager. improvements were made as they moved from 5th to 3rd in the Atlantic division. Coming into the 2016-2017 season, there have been many roster changes through free agency and trades of strong players. The New York Knicks have brought in point guard Derrick Rose and center Joakim Noah from the Bulls to contribute to a new look for their starting lineup.
