Oh, how the mighty fall. The New York Knickerbockers (I always love calling them that) won two NBA titles — one in 1970 and one in 1973. Since then, they have made two failed Finals appearances. Their last run in 1999 left them empty-handed after their star player, Patrick Ewing, was forced to watch from the sidelines due to injury. If you don’t know who beat the Knicks in those Finals, well, that’s what we’re here for...
Although no one from this site wants think about the tables turning, but a 1999 NBA Finals with Ewing against David Robinson in the paint would have been a contest worthy of repeated viewings.
