In the two decades that passed between coach Jeff Van Gundy's resignation in 2001 and the end of the 2020-2021 NBA season, no franchise spent more money, lost more games or won fewer playoff series than the lowly New York Knicks.
But now, the team is in the postseason for the third time in four years and the tide has finally shifted, with the organization winning a first-round series for just the fifth time in 25 years. This shift is about more than playoff success, though. Look closely: The past six years have slowly signaled a new era of Knicks basketball.
