New York Knicks' origins

After deciding that New York was ready for a new breed of slam-dunking heroes, former sports journalist Ned Irish established the franchise back in 1946. According to legend, the Knickerbocker name was actually chosen at random, from a hat and would eventually be shortened to the snappier modern version of the moniker. The club's first match was played before the year was out, seeing the side overcome the Toronto Huskies in front of a 7,000-plus crowd. Originally competing in the Basketball Association of America, the league merged with the National Basketball Association to become the contest fans know and love around the globe today: the NBA. Over the proceeding decades, the NYK would go on to win the championship in 1970 and 1973. From their formation right up to the present day, it has played host to a galaxy of stars of the game, from the '40s and '50s Hall of Famer Harry Gallatin and '60s superstar Bill Bradley to Patrick Ewing, whose 15-year stint from 1985 was so successful they retired his Number 33 jersey in recognition of his immense on-court achievements.
