New York Knicks

The Knicks are the shelf where fanbase size wildly exceeds trophy count, and that imbalance is the subject. Founded in 1946 and playing at Madison Square Garden, the club won its two championships in 1970 and 1973, the second era remembered for ball movement and the famous Willis Reed appearance in the 1970 Finals. The 1990s teams built around Patrick Ewing reached the Finals in 1994 and again in 1999, when the Knicks became the first eighth seed to get there, and the completed conference finals run of 2025 gave the modern fanbase its own chapter of settled history. MSG lore is half the inventory here: the Garden as a stage, the visiting star performances it celebrates as folklore, and a crowd the league treats as a character. The quizzes run on 1970s title history, 1990s deep dives, and Garden moments, all of it closed history by construction.
