New York Knicks Information:
The New York Knicks, short for Knickerbockers, are a professional basketball team based in New York City. They play in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
The Knicks are one of only two teams of the original National Basketball Association still located in its original city (the other being the Boston Celtics). The Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League merged in 1949 to form the NBA.
The Knicks' first game was played on November 1, 1946 against the Toronto Huskies at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, where the Knicks won 68-66. The Knicks were consistent playoff contenders in their early years. In the 1969-70 season, the Knicks had a then-NBA record 18 straight victories en route to 60-22 record, which was the best regular season record in the team's history. After defeating the Bullets in the Eastern Division semifinals and the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Division finals, the Knicks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games to capture their first NBA title.
