The hope is back and his name is Jalen Brunson. The second bit of hope is Karl Anthony Towns. Tough trade last year to lose a few key guys like Julius Randle but I have faith in this team even more now. I attended the Roommates Live Block Party over the summer, it was fun: Bridges was there and new Knick Jordan Clarkson and Ben Stiller was there as a guest. The crowd was into it at Central Park and everyone seemed to have a good time. Knicks are in a different direction since in 2019, Kristaps Portzingis was traded from NY to Dallas for a package that included two first round draft picks, Dennis Smith Jr. And DeAndre Jordan. Knicks were concerned about his injury history and in 2019, Kristaps expressed his desire to leave and told someone in management that he no longer wanted to be part of the team anymore. Years later, he did seem to regret a bit how things were handled. He was seen as a Knockout sensation of a star and was not expected to leave the team. read more

I'm not a true Knicks fan, but I can't knock the Knickerbockers for their great team efforts. Got to see them in a private section that was filled with lots of food and our own bar. A birdseye view of the game and secluded section, can't beat it. read more

In my lifetime, the New York Knicks have only made it to the NBA Finals twice, in 1994 and 1999. Since '99, the Knicks have missed the playoffs more often than not. For decades, the Knicks have notoriously underperformed despite being in the NBA's biggest market (the top three are New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago). To their credit, though, the Knicks won two NBA championships, in 1970 and 1973. The Knicks were one win away from winning the title in 1994. They lost, 4-3, to the Houston Rockets. The Knicks had Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Derek Harper, and Charles Oakley. They also had current North Carolina coach Hubert Davis. The Rockets had Hakeem Olajuwon, Vernon Maxwell, Robert Horry, and Sam Cassell. They also had now-popular NBA on TNT commentator Kenny Smith. The Knicks were coached by Pat Riley, who won five NBA titles as a head coach, but not during his time with the Knicks (1991-1995). The Rockets were coached by Rudy Tomjanovich, who led Houston to back-to-back titles in '94 and '95. The Knicks with Ewing and Starks were my favorite team to play as in NBA Jam (great balance). I remember the 1999 Finals well and have all five games on VHS tape. That's because the San Antonio Spurs are my favorite NBA team. The NBA on NBC was still a thing back then. The Spurs beat the Knicks, 4-1. The Knicks didn't have an answer to the Spurs' Twin Towers, Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Ewing suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the Eastern Conference Finals, leaving Larry Johnson, Marcus Camby, Kurt Thomas, and Chris Dudley to try and contain Duncan and Robinson. The Knicks relied heavily on Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston for offense. I still remember jumping, pumping my fist in the air, and accidentally hitting my relatives' chandelier when the Spurs' Avery Johnson hit the championship-winning jumper in Game 5. The Knicks were coached by Jeff Van Gundy, who went on to become one of my favorite announcers during his time with ESPN/ABC. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich won the first of five titles. A little bit of trivia: Mario Elie was a member of both the '94 Rockets and '99 Spurs teams. Check out Game 5 of the 1999 NBA Finals on YouTube while you can. The New York-San Antonio Twin Towers intro, narrated by NBC's Bob Costas, will send chills down your spine: https://youtu.be/BY32q6Y0yS4?si=kQ_dTOC3Kah2eVbR After that, the most memorable iteration of the Knicks to me was the Carmelo Anthony era, 2011-2017. In those seven seasons, the Knicks only made it to the playoffs three times. In those three appearances, they only advanced past the first round once, in 2013, when they lost, 4-2, to the Indiana Pacers. That Knicks team had several talented players -- Melo, JR Smith, Raymond Felton, and Tyson Chandler. Amar'e Stoudamire was also on the team, but was injured for most of the season. Notably, both Marcus Camby and Kurt Thomas were on the Knicks roster that season too, as well as Iman Shumpert, who played for my favorite college basketball team (Georgia Tech). I should also note that I own a New York Knicks Jeremy Lin name and number T-shirt (shirsey) because of Linsanity in February 2012. Recently, the Knicks developed a little animosity towards my hometown Atlanta Hawks because of Trae Young and the 2021 playoffs. The Knicks lost to the Hawks, 4-1, in the first round. The Knicks were led by a resurgent Derrick Rose, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and Alec Burks. However, the Hawks, led by Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, John Collins, De'Andre Hunter, and Clint Capela, simply outplayed the Knicks. It's no secret that many Knicks fans hate Trae Young. If you're not aware, watch this video of Knicks fans talking about Trae after the Knicks got eliminated in 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zpZ2tiB0xg Haha. This year, the Knicks were memorable to me for a couple of reasons: (1) On March 29, 2024, Jalen Brunson went off for a career-high 61 points against the Spurs. It was only one point off the franchise's single-game scoring record. More importantly, it helped me pull off a huge upset in my fantasy basketball league playoffs semifinals match. I drafted Brunson back in October and he ended up being one of the keys to my team's eventual championship. (2) The Knicks and Pacers had an entertaining seven-game series in the Eastern Conference semifinals. On May 19, 2024, the Knicks were on the verge of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 24 years (coincidentally, they faced the Pacers in the 2000 ECF). Unfortunately, they lost Game 7 at home, 130-109, in front of a star-studded crowd at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks just had too many injuries and the Pacers' depth prevailed. read more

I wasn't wrong about Jim Dolan, but still - what a difference a half a season makes. How did this happen? 1. Amare is possessed. He was not made better by Steve Nash in Phoenix as much as Steve Nash won 2 MVP's because Amare plays like a man-child - like Shawn Kemp in his first few seasons (pre-Elvis version later in his career). 2. Raymond Felton is outstanding. Not only can he dish, but he can score in bunches. The fact he was hiding in Charlotte and he was thought to be a third or fourth free agent option after the Knicks missed out on all the primadonnas is all forgotten. 3. Landry Fields is about as big a rookie surprise as can be. Steady, unwavering and highly skilled. You would think the fact that Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Fields all basically play the same position would make it impossible to all play, nevertheless start, together, but that is how Mike D'Antoni does it - they just play. So things are looking up at the Garden, but it is a guarantee that if Jim Dolan still seeks to bring back Isaiah Thomas in the future - it will all turn into rubble with Zeke standing on top of it. For now, welcome to the playoffs again. read more

The NY fans are great. They whoop, cheer and clap all third and fourth quarters even though the Knicks were on a 6-game losing streak when they played the Hornets last Friday. Seeing Chris Paul and Nate Robinson chest bumping was pretty entertaining. And Posey got ejected for throwing the ball at the ref. Other than that, I found it hard to cheer for a team other than the Warriors. =) There are five levels of seating so the stadium is pretty massive. Bring your own food b/c the hot dogs are $5.75 and don't taste good. These two ladies in front of us brought some BBQ chicken from home in a Starbucks bag. The beer is like $10 in a Knicks cup. Their concession stands are limited and don't taste or look good. Bring your own food or go to a Halal tin van afterwards for a pita with lamb (only $5! -across the street near Footaction on 34th). Catching a taxi after the game will be close to impossible unless you stand in the Disneyland taxi line outside. But we managed to do it! read more

It truly depends on whether you are an optimistic fan of sports in terms of how one assesses his or her relationship with the New York Knicks as a fan. From an investment point of view, Forbes Magazine lists the Knicks as the most valuable NBA franchise (worth USD$1.1 billion). That is not to be taken lightly, yet unlike the Yankees, the value of the Knicks is not positively correlated with the product on the court. Some of it is bad luck and some of it is poor management. After the glory years in the early 70s, Knicks fans have endured more than 40 years of empty chases at an NBA title. Once-in-a-lifetime players like Jordan, Magic, Bird, Isaiah, and Olajuwon dominated the 80s and 90s. Yet the Knicks were unable to get lucky with any one of them. Bernard King and Patrick Ewing gave Knicks fans hope, but they were ultimately dashed in the playoffs. While fans thought those were hard luck years, at least we can say that we were beaten by the greatest of all time. The 2000s saw the Knicks make the playoffs only three times. We were saddled with bad coaching (despite their Hall-of-Fame credentials with other teams) like D'Antoni, Isaiah Thomas, Lenny Wilkins, and Larry Brown. Taking on bad contracts and washed up all-stars did not help matters. It truly starts with ownership, but the NBA are filled with bad owners. How many Clayton Bennetts, Mark Cubans, Peter Holts, or Jerry Busses are there really? Some light did come at the end of the tunnel by the end of the decade with the hiring of GM Donnie Walsh who was as shrewd as they come. Getting the Knicks under the salary cap allowed the team to land Amare, Carmelo, and Chandler. They finally won their first playoff game in more than a decade. The contributions by Walsh should forever be remembered by Knicks fans. Even if we don't win championships for another fifteen years with the likes of Durant and Lebron running around, we can at least say we have a winning team. The New York Yankees under George Steinbrenner were able to put a championship caliber team at any cost, and while that is not well-received by fans and owners in other cities, New York is very spoiled by this luxury. The Knicks, on the other hand, have some of the most amazing fans in the world. Yet, they have been constantly been rewarded with mediocrity and inflated ticket prices that is not commensurate with performance. However, we keep coming back for more. We are loyal fans that stay with the team through the good and mostly the bad. I only hope that my generation of fans get to witness at least one NBA championship during this lifetime. Three stars for the team. Five stars for the fans! read more

One of my four teams that I have rooted for ever since I have been rooting for! Came along during the Patrick Ewing era with Johnny Newman, Mark Jackson and them boys. I been through the tough roads of the 90's Knicks: Mason, Starks, Harper, Smith. We should have got one ring out of that era. Even when Allen Houston, Sprewell came along, the energy of the team was great. I wish I was around to enjoy the glory years when Frazier, Reed, Monroe, Bradley were bringing in championships but when you watch the old footage - you can appreciate the history. The Isiah years were lost but still supported through thick and thin. The Knicks are my Heart. Go NY, Go Ny, Go! Will update this review the day they win that ring that I'm alive. Grade: A (at heart), B with mind read more

Its time to lower the ticket prices. The team is NOT good!

Oh my God!!! I didn't know you Could YELP about sports teams!!!! Knicks management is terrible because they give in to their impatient fan base. For some reason, Knicks fans feel they are contenders every year. I grew up catching the tail end of the Walt Frazier years. Now that was a different era. I endured the 80s when Bernard King was considered a savior. Then I suffered the Ken 'The Animal' Bannister and Pat Cummings years. Bottom line is Knicks don't know how to draft. Haven't had a good pick since Ewing. Phil Jackson is over rated as everything in basketball. He won all those championships because he happened to have two best player in the history of the game at the peak of their careers. read more

Okay, I'm a basketball fan, not a Knicks fan. But I remember this game like it was yesterday. It's 1999. I'm out in Universal City Walk having a few brews with my boys in LA. The Knicks are playing the Pacers in the playoffs. The game is almost over. Indiana is up by 3 with 11 seconds left. All they have to do is play some D and burn out the clock. Charlie Ward inbounds the ball, and it's tipped. Larry "Grandmama" Johnson catches the ball. Sort of pump fakes Antonio Davis into the air, takes a bump and drops a trey on the Pacers as a delayed whistle blows. The bar crowd I'm sitting in erupts into cheers. And this is LA, we're all Laker fans. But who doesn't love great basketball? LJ hits his free throw completing the 4 point play. Knicks win. Electrifying. read more

I don't particularly like the Knicks, but now that I'm a New Yorker, I want to see them revive the franchise and head in the right direction. Normally the fortunes of a sporting organization are often cyclical (except for a select few: Yankees, Lakers, for example) but the Knicks are suffering through four years of mediocrity due to the boneheaded decisions made by the general manager, who wildly overpaid injury-prone superstars on their decline (Allan Houston, $100 million) and traded for/signed disgruntled stars of other teams (Steve Francis, Penny Hardaway, Stephon Marbury, Vin Baker) or simply made terrible signings (Jerome James, Mike Sweetney, Mo Taylor, Shannon Anderson.). Add the Larry Brown fiasco and there was a disaster brewing at MSG. However, although they just finished another terrible season, their youth movement is starting to take shape - the team was in such disarray that it had to take 4-5 years for them to show respectability. Big, expiring contracts are up - and the young players are producing - Jamal Crawford, David Lee, Balkman, Mardy Collins. Now, is Isiah the right man to coach them? read more

I love to watch this team play all the time. This please is amazing i always like to see the Lakers come play here at MSG. great action i would give 5 stars but they never WIN. read more

Dressed like leprechauns last night in green uniforms and as much neon orange accessories as possible, the Knicks lost by about 30 to the Nets. Granted Vince Carter scored 30 points to help lead the Nets to victory and nate Robinson is a midget (shake and bake! lol), but it was more about the Knicks inability to do anything all night long. Correction, after the first 3 minutes of the game. I feel like going to the garden to see the Knicks is like an invitation to go to hell and stand upside down in a pile of shit for the entire length of the game. Its not fun. I'd like to watch a winning team for once. Mets are even worse. read more

Why take your kids to Knicks, Nets and Jets games if they're giving you nothing? The Knicks are having a terrible season. But be honest, with their talent level, who actually thought they were going to have a good season? But this isn't going to be one of my regular diatribes about how the Knicks had two NBA All Stars, David Lee, Zach Randolph, a 6th man of the year, Jamal Crawford and quality bench players or starters like Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari and their general manager Donnie Walsh got rid of all of those guys for basically nothing, no not this time, we will trash Walsh another time for sure. This past weekend, I took my son Zachary to the Knicks game. At the start of the game, realizing how empty the building was, I decided to see how far I could work my way down toward the floor. After all, as a lifetime season ticket owner and loyal fan, I imagined, I deserved some time close to the players I was so loyal to, if not for myself, for my son--the next generation. I managed to get almost to the court where an usher, not Usher the rapper, but one of the Garden's finest security personnel asked me for a ticket and said I couldn't be there. My response to him was "really there's no one here, the team is in last place with probably the worst record they've ever had in their history and you're saying I can't sit here?" I recall going to an event years ago as a seat holder. It seems to me the Knicks, Nets and Jets should be doing more to attract fans and if that means letting people move to better seats, giving away seats or giving away free food, do it. You want to make your stadium look crowded and using those methods can accomplish this. After all even The Golden Globes has seat fillers. But my son was more interested in playing with his matchbox cars than watching the game and I should have played with the cars also. The Knicks lost the game by 30. Apparently children are good judges of entertainment levels of events and Zacky gave the Knicks two thumbs down. If your stadium is completely empty and your losing money every game, doesn't it make sense to let people move to better seats, give away seats or give away free food? If you give free tickets those people will still buy food and souvenirs and the stadium would make money on that. If I can go to a game and move down, wouldn't that be more of an incentive to go to another game? If the stadium is giving you free food, wouldn't you be more apt to buy tickets, especially when the food can cost $20 or more? Just a little food for thought. read more

Eh. Okay don't get me wrong we had fun. I had awesome free seats from a client and there were amazing celebrity sightings etc. The Knicks lost (no shocker there) so it is just frustrating. I don't think we ever went to a game where they won so we stopped going just in case it was us that was the bad luck charm read more

i've been a knick fan since 91 and after 5 miserable years, it's good to see them back on the winning track. I went to the knicks vs OKC game last night and it was good to see the garden alive again. big games from zach randolph and jamal crawford and excellent efforts by wilson chandler and david lee who is now a potential best 6th man. once they get rid of marbury and curry and probably q-rich, they will start to forumulate a legitimate team again. i'm a fan. read more

5 stars for the knicks during their run in the 90s. pat riley's smothering defensive teams. the intense rivalries with the bulls, the heat, the pacers. it was a proud time to be a knick fan, but we could never get over the hump and win the whole thing. the knicks' boneheaded contract moves (trading ewing instead of letting his contract expire, for example) led the knicks to be a soulless group of individuals, reaching its nadir during the isiah thomas years (zero stars if possible). oh man, what a joke. and for jimmy dolan to let all this happen without having an ounce of noodle... ugh it makes me angry. the knicks of today offer a hope for a brighter future, one where the knicks make a big splash in the 2010 free agency sweepstakes. they (and their opponents because of a lack of defense) are fun to watch again. i can thank mike d'antoni for that one. the garden is still one helluva place to watch basketball. it just needs a team to match. read more
