The 2010s were a disappointing and heart-aching period for New York Knicks fans. Every time there seemed to be hope, the franchise would snatch it right back.
The decade began with the Knicks targeting big fish in the 2010 offseason, and they came away with one of the league’s best big men in Amar’e Stoudemire to pair with a young roster. They later traded for Carmelo Anthony and made the playoffs for the first time since 2004, ending a seven-year drought.
The Knicks would go on to make the playoffs three years in a row, but that streak would come to an end in 2013, leaving the Knicks in yet another seven-year playoff drought.
