Geschiedenis
De naam Knickerbocker komt uit het boek The History of New York van Washington Irving, waarin de fictieve Nederlandse auteur Diedrich Knickerbocker optrad. Hierdoor werden Nederlandse kolonisten Knickerbockers genoemd. De oranje, witte en blauwe clubkleuren komen voort uit de Nederlandse Prinsenvlag.
De Knicks spelen in de NBA (Atlantic Division, Eastern Conference) en zijn ook stichtend lid van de NBA, opgericht in 1946. Het thuishonk van de Knicks is Madison Square Garden, liefkozend het 'Mekka van basketbal' genoemd.
