New York Knicks History
The Knicks were established in 1946 and were one of the founding members of the Basketball Association of America, which became the NBA after merging with the National Basketball League in 1949. The Knicks and Boston Celtics are the only two original NBA teams still located in their original cities.
The Knicks saw early success, advancing to the NBA Finals in three consecutive years from 1950 to 1953. They lost all three series, twice to the Minneapolis Lakers and once to the Rochester Royals.The franchise’s next successful era began in the late '60s, under the tutelage of head coach Red Holzman.They won 54 games in Holzman's first full season as head coach in the 1968–69 season, then improved to 60 wins the following year. The Knicks won their first NBA Championship in 1970, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games. Holzman won Coach of the Year, while center Willis Reed won NBA MVP and Finals MVP.
Holzman and Reed led the Knicks back to the finals in two of the next three seasons, facing the Lakers both times. They split those two series, winning their second championship in the 1972–73 season.
The Knicks did not experience success again until the '90s, when future Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing led them back to the NBA Finals in 1993–94 and 1998–99. They lost both series, first in seven games to the Houston Rockets, then in five games to the San Antonio Spurs.
The Knicks traded for star Carmelo Anthony from the Denver Nuggets in 2011. He proved to be an elite scorer, but team success eluded the Knicks. They made it to the playoffs three times in Carmelo's seven-year tenure with the team, winning one series in 2013.
The Knicks reached the playoffs once again during the 2020–21 season, reinvigorated by power forward Julius Randle, who was awarded the NBA’s Most Improved Player distinction in 2021, and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2023 with the additional firepower of newly acquired point guard Jalen Brunson.?

Great show, a unique experience that I believe only Madison Square Garden can offer!
Nice game in an amazing arena. Only to’get ticket on mobile was difficult as foreigner that can’t download Ticketmaster app.
Excellent event, great view the new players and the past players. The game with the veteran and social media personnel and others was great!! I appreciate the people coming out to participate, and the environment was great.
Everything about MSG was Amazing. The atmosphere. The show . The food and drinks . Love the store would love to go again me and my son had the best night ever for a Tuesday !
I wasn't a fan of this year's Tip-Off event. The guy interviewing the players and coaches looks like he got hired the day before. Didn't know players names. Plus last year, the players were autographing things for fans, this year, I didn't see them do any of that, except for the specially invited kids. My son was looking forward to getting JB's signature and was let down
A LOT of fun. Brought the family, everyone had a good time. Saw the new lineup, enjoyed the alumni game. Great time.
I think it is a great idea for the tip-off I which thst once a year the Knicks will do the same for a real game ( like Family Day) For a symbolic price ( $20.25?) so parents can take the entire family for a wholesome family fun day
The staff was so friendly. The garden vibe was special. There’s nothing like seeing the Knicks in the garden. It was family fun. We can’t wait to go back again. Five stars all around.
Great show got to see current and former knick players.
Cool event and dope introduction before the season
Great venue. Food is pricey, but that's to be expected at any stadium. Seats were comfortable, and the experience was amazing. Let's go Knicks!
Everything was great except…I won’t write the next great American text novel. Let’s just say I had a good time. The seats were great. I had a little trouble with my ticket downloading but other than that MSG is a nice venue and the staff was present and professional. See you again Soon! KNICKS IN 7!!!
My brother and I sat on the Chase Bridge Section 327 with the best view of the court for this match up between our Knicks and the Pacers. Seating here has access to non-busy concessions and restrooms plus room to stand, stretch and do victory dances. This was a Game 5 Knicks fans dream of, and it didn't disappoint: full of excellent ball, heightened tension and drama, but most importantly, the garden was filled with love, respect, and energy for the Knicks from the hometown crowd!
It was a privilege to attend game 5 of Knicks/Pacers series. Great competition, excitement and crowd energy. Playoffs are high sports drama.
Garden is great but seats are tight and we were shoe horned into the middle of the row. Next to a bunch of obnoxious over-cologned 20yr olds.
It was my first playoff game in the Garden!!! I got a towel as a souvenior!!! My only critique was the food. We need more food options. The chicken tenders I purchased were not good. But that will not stop we from going to another game at the garden! Go KNICKS!
Had a great time. The Garden really gets their fans involved. The visuals were amazing. Seats were great. View was great as well. Service was amazing and everyone there was courteous. I definitely will repeat
A stadium legendary with an amazing ambiance ! A beautiful view everywhere with confortables seats!
Great seats with good view and entertainment along with great selection of food (hot and cold), drinks and snacks.
