New York Knicks

The history of the Knicks predates the National Basketball Association, but that hasn’t necessarily led to championships. For much of its existence, the Knicks have not been great, but the city has produced some epic players and memorable moments. The franchise peaked in the 1970s when it picked up two NBA titles, the first of which was the result of some heroics from Willis Reed: injured, he hobbled onto the court in Game 7 of the Finals and inspired his team to victory. Since then, the results have largely been disappointing, aside from a few Patrick Ewing-led teams in the 1990s, but things once again have potential.
