About the New York Knicks
The New York Knicks
The NY Knicks are one of the most popular teams in the history of the NBA. Despite recent disappointments, the Knicks are as huge in Midtown Manhattan as ever, and their recent upswing is all the talk of the Big Apple.
One of just two teams in the NBA that are still located in their original city - the rival Boston Celtics are the other - the NY Knicks have a passionate following that is extremely knowledgable of the great game of basketball. Despite winning only two NBA championships in their history - 1970 and 1973 - the NY Knicks continue to sell out Madison Square Garden nearly every night, making it extremely important that fans get their NY Knicks tickets well in advance.
The NY Knicks have sent a number of players to the Basketball Hall of Fame, including two-time NBA Finals MVP Willis Reed, the legendary Walt Frazier, and one of the best all-time centers, Patrick Ewing. See future NY basketball legends at MSG when you purchase NY Knicks tickets.
What You Need To Know
If you plan on visiting a NY Knicks game at Madison Square Garden during your next visit to NYC, there are some things you need to know before you enter the hallowed ground of MSG.
The New York Knicks make a free throw!
- Best NY Knicks Seats: Unless you know somebody in NYC with connections to the New York Knicks - and we mean really know - you won't find yourself sitting courtside at MSG anytime soon. Luckily, the historic Madison Square Garden features notoriously great sightlines all around the arena. No matter where you end up at MSG, you'll find yourself with a great view of the action on the hardwood.
- Don't Expect Gimmicks: NYC is the mecca of basketball, which means NY Knicks fans really know their basketball. This isn't Oklahoma City or Toronto. (Sorry, Kevin Durant - we mean no disrespect.) This means that MSG skips the goofy sideshows during every timeout, there's no state-of-the-art jumbotron, and rarely does it take stock PA music to get a "Let's Go Knicks!" chant started. Expect a stripped-down basketball experience for the true fans at a NY Knicks game at MSG.
- Avoid Smack Talk: This is just common sense. If you find yourself lucky enough to visit Madison Square Garden when you're favorite team is in town, keep the trash talk with surrounding NY Knicks fans to a minimum. After all, this is NYC, and these fans really love their Knicks.
