- Yes, in their storied history, the Knicks have won a total of 2 championships. They haven’t won a championship in 50 years. For a decade of my existence, the Knicks Trott out some of the worst teams in the history of the game. Not just in result, but in shear foundation and structure. When I saw Steve Francis, Stephon Marbury, Jamal Crawford, and Penny Hardaway on the same roster, I just knew some billionaire somewhere was holding the franchise hostage, gun to head telling them to make the moves they made from 2000-2010. In the first year of those guys together, they won a total of 23 games. 4 former all stars in Penny, Franchise, Lee, and Marbury. A powerful state, yet with all that power of superstar attraction and and media capital of the world, their professional basketball team has went to a total of 2 NBA playoffs from 2000-2010. Side note, since the 2000s 5 appearances in 23 years. If you ask just about anyone not watching basketball in 1970 or 1973, the Knicks have always been disappointing. Their fans make it seems different, but they’ve never been good in your life if you’re 49 and under. But from 2000-2010, stands out as the worst I can remember, why was that?

50 years since their last chip. When do you see the Knicks winning it all again. imo may not be for another 20-30 years. They need to get lucky and draft a HOF player, because don't see any top free agent going there no time soon.
honestly, the knicks gonna win when I'm on life support.
I just wanna see the Knicks win before i die lol. I stopped watching basketball completely because they sucked year after year
I agree JC another 20-30 yrs in all likelihood, they came close in 94 and semi close in what 99 against Tim Duncan and the Spurs?? And ain't been relevant since, but HOFers like Ewing, who you could build around don't just pop outta nowhere.
The Knicks are a storied franchise because they were one of the original NBA teams. Plus NY had the first Black player to sign to play in the league in Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton. They are also they the first team to have a Black team captain in sports history. His name was Willie Naulls. Add in the "World's Most Famous Arena", and you got it.
Dolan, not Spike Lee... But Spike does antagonize players; "die hard fans" do that...
But once Dolan took over 🤢🤮
James Dolan should’ve been stunt #3 the Knicks have only won 1 playoff series since Dolan has owned the team, they’ve gone through players, coaches, GMs and James Dolan has been the common denominator this is coming from a life long Knicks fan
💯
James Dolan deserves to publicly caned for the shit show the Knicks are
Well he'd rather play his guitar for free drinks in bars than worry about his teams or the Garden.
Ya i agree, it’s more then obvious that the main disservice to this team has been the owner above all. He’s been at the helm of one of the worst run organizations in the entire league the last 2 decades, which is one thing in itself but for it to be in a city like New York is a slap in the face. NY deserves so much better man
Word 😂 Dolan is a joke.
This video was wild. Stunt number 3 was crazy. The real common denominator was Dolan. Ownership empowered Isaiah Thomas during that nightmare
I agree. James Dolan is a horrible owner.
Bro that's a reach spike Lee 😂 😂😂😂😂
That Pippen dunk on Ewing will always be one of the most nastiest disrespectful situations in a good way,in NBA history...
Man Spike Lee as a stunt has me crying cause he's just a fan lol. Dolan definitely earned that 3rd stunt, shit honestly this whole video could've been one big Dolan fuck you fest. He ran that team into the ground. They had a couple good years in the early 2010s then squandered that and now here we are 10+ years later and they're having another little resurgence but you know it won't last long.
I agree, the common denominator is Ownerships not some glorified knicks fan
The difference between the awfulness of the 2000s Knicks rosters and the 2010s Knicks rosters was that they ACTIVELY went well over the cap to put a terrible team together on the floor. Like how the hell do you do that for so long?
Bad contracts. Jerome James being the biggest one. Alan Houston robbing us by retiring early after that 100M contract. Bargnani deal...terrible. Tim Hardaway's 2nd contract here...terrible. Marbury and Francis in the same backcourt when there is only 1 ball to go around. I felt so bad for Jamal Crawford on these teams. Renaldo Balkman?! We had Nene and let him go and he got good. Ariza we should have kept too.
Allan Houston legit was hurt. He was on a upward trajectory when the contract was signed. Had he not gotten hurt, probably a HOF career. Agreed otherwise
@Bryan Howard I agree, Allan Houston was balling, and he did deserve that contract.
A lot more intriguing prospects were let go way to prematurely by the knicks, it’s almost like Dolan wants this team to be trash.
Isaiah trading a lottery pick for Eddie Curry was also an interesting move to say the least.
As a die hard Knicks fan, this video is quite depressing…we were rancid smh
Still are
Always have been lol Knicks are the worst franchise in NBA history considering how much money they have.
I'm a diehard Knicks fan and that Era was TUUUURIBLE! Dolan was the Main reason for it. I also used them in NBA2K during those Yeats and that was BRUTAL.😂😂
I feel bad for both Jamal Crawford and David Lee (who was like their best big man since Pat until Amar'e's arrival, and who's prime is honestly very underrated) who were practically the only dudes relevant on those teams. You can pretty much say that Isiah Thomas never stopped being a Piston lmao 😂.
Isiah gave Jerome James, a dude who averaged 4 points a game in his entire career, a freaking 5 year contract. Funny thing is that he repeated it again, giving Jared Jeffries the same deal in 2007. He also dealt away 2 draft picks that would turn into LaMarcus Aldridge and Joakim Noah for Eddy fucking Curry.
Also not to mention the fact that Allan Houston made the situation even worse by retiring in the middle of the $100 million deal he signed.
Speaking of bad GMs, I really would love you to do a video on the Bobcats/Hornets. The GOAT player being the worse GM in the league is just crazy.
If he retired mid way thru his contract, does he still get paid for other half of contract that he won't play for?
Or does the team get that 50mil back?
Imagine If Isiah Thomas Drafted Kobe Bryant As The Raptors GM
Blaming spike Lee is like blaming the sky for being above you.
Ownership has been the archilles hell for the Knicks in the past 20 years
💯
When your billionaire owner is more worried about playing his guitar for free drinks in bars than the teams he owns and MSG there's a problem.
There would be times when Marbury wouldn't even look to pass for like five straight possessions! One of the most crazy things I've ever saw. Crawford was cold however
Yeah he was talented but not a winning player at all, he only cared about getting his individual numbers and not team success.
Can you do a sequel for the 2010-2020 decade of the knickerbockers ?
David Lee was a decent pick he became the first Knick all star for some time in that era
It’s odd how Larry Brown in retrospect speaks so highly of Allen Iverson, yet when you look at Steve and Steph, all 3 guys come from the same line of basketball play and thinking and Larry was having none of it with those 2, after dealing with AI!
Maybe it’s because neither one of them were as good as Allen. Didn’t play as hard as Allen, or were as beloved by teammates and fans alike. When you’ve had the best version of something, you can’t stomach the knock off. 😂
@@TheOtherMJ_76 but hey, those 2 bargain brand AI’s were all-stars and had decent careers too, though. They just never made it to The Finals.
@onlyone23km Franchise maybe; Starbury - not so much... A.I. did pass the rock; his teammates wasn't talented much (on the offensive end).
I agree that Larry couldn't deal with it (especially Starbury)
9 rings? 😂😂🤣🤣😂 y’all give Jordan toooo much credit..He said it him self they had no answer for Dream
💯
Jordan lost in 95 anyway, no way they beat Hakeem
The wouldn't have no answer for MJ or pip! Rodman on D and the boards. Bulls win!
@@furiousstyles81 not what MICHAEL JORDAN said ‼️😂😂😂
@@furiousstyles81 Rodman wasn’t there yet
The Knicks wasn't much better 2010 to 2020 either. No.1 stunt is they didn't draft well the past 20 plus years. An example of that in the 17 draft they took Frank Ntilikina. Who they could've that was drafted behind him Donovan Mitchell, Bam Adebayo, Jarrett Allen, Kyle Kumza or Derrick White. They only landed 3 big free agents in free agency the past 20 plus years Jalen Brunson, Juluis Randle and Amar'e Stoudemire
. Amar'e Stoudemire first season as a Knick was good he made the all team but was on the decline quickly after that due to injuries. They gave up too much for Carmelo. They gave Iisah Thomas and Phil Jackson too much power of the franchise. They made poor decisions that held the Knicks back for years. Fans support horrible ownership by continuing to pay high ticket prices even though the Knicks wasn't good majority of the time. You can't fault Spike for being a die hard fan and buying expensive season tickets.
I agree... We had some okay teams until Dolan & Thomas took over...
The Knicks really had a good team in the early 2010s. They had good players at every position, but too many shall we say characters at that time.
My father always told me they gave up on Mike Woodson - at which point I remember when JR smith was running around in a makeshift batmobile, and I sadly agreed with him smdh. It's a real shame, too, bc I love the city.
I myself have always said that you can do anything in NY... except winning a championship 🤣
🤣🤣🤣💯
This channel is dope I’ve been watching it for some time now.. I think a video on amare stoudemire would be dope.. he was my favorite PF in the league in the 2000s
Also assess the duplicity of the questionable exits of Mark Jackson & Avery Johnson, whose teams won NBA championships afterwards with pink coached at the helm.
I would love to see these guys go all the way especially knowing that it bothers Walt Frazier that the last time they won a title was when he was on the court. I hope they make the playoffs this year and all the best this decade :)
The Knicks are a storied franchise for sure. It’s not about rings or winning it’s much much deeper. Shallow take from my boy on this one
Not about rings or winning...? Then why exactly do people play the games?
I agree very bad take. The word storied isn't applied to a team based off championships
No, they're not.... The Knicks franchise is horrible 😂
You should do the Sixers, Doc Rivers and the Suns
This dude blamed Spike Lee! Hahaha
Damn JC how you gonna do Isiah Thomas like that. Hahaha
He was a terrible exec.. idk how the knicks didn’t learn from his time with the raptors.
I live in NYC, I was watching Fox 5 and saw how James Dolan was on TV and he was part of a band and it fucked with my head. Like no wonder this team is losing.
the '92-'94 Knicks run was the greatest non-championship 3-year run, and it happened during the MJ era... '92 Knicks took Bulls to 7 games, '93 Knicks were up 2-0 on Bulls, '94 Knicks outscored Rockets in 7 games in Finals... fax!!!
💯
As a Kings fan, we took the worst team title over when NY finally got competent
Love the vids my guy keep it up
💯
The problem was they overpaid role players like stars, Eddie Curry, Jamal Crawford, David Lee etc. Then there star players weren't winners, Stephon Maubary, Steve Francis, Penny Hardaway (was past his prime). It was just to many bad mixes.
lmao love this channel. Stunt number 3 should be Dolan though, Spike Lee is just a fan. Stil love the roast on Spike 😂
👍🏾
In the 90’s the NBA changed the rules so much it actually hampered Ewings team, but they never gave Ewing enough to get it done if you think about Ewing was soooo good he actually camouflaged how bad ownership was for 15 years
I remember back in the day all the Knicks trades and signing old ass / injured players ( Mcydess , Mutombo , Vin Baker , Steve Francis , Penny … crazy signings like Jerome James etc they were horrible
I love these videos
I have said this before and will say it again. The Knicks are one of the biggest sport franchises in sports. Win or lose they will be able to fill the seats so what is the incentive to try and get a good team? Everyone is telling Dolan to sell, no matter how dumb we think he is, he isn't dumb enough to get rid of his bread and butter
Good point
Knickerbockers are still a sad story.
The Knicks been Curse since Pat Riley left back in 1995
💯
Ngl the 3rd point is a pretty big reach lol. Spike Lee isn't running the FO
💯
These were some really bad years but the Phil Jackson years were worse imo. He really signed Lamar Odom during his addiction years. Being a Knicks fan is really depressing 😞
I agree with the last sentence...
I remember a time when isaiah is considered a horrible gm, but is good when it comes ro dratfting talent. I was really hopeful that balkman would turn into something because he was drafted by thomas.
I totally agree; Balkman was (really) the only bad pick... Ariza won with the Lakers; Fry, Robertson (thru a trade) & Chandler showed glimpses; & I can't remember I can't remember the other 3 right now.
Decent at drafting (not great), but definitely a horrible coach & worst GM.
And they ran away Larry Brown!!! They were super toxic!!!
It was over the moment Ewing and Spreewell were gone from the team
💯
ROTFL!!!! I am a knicks fan since the days of Trent Tucker, Johnny Newman, Gerald Wilkins etc. That Julius Randle dunk on Gafford tonight though!!!! Also, the Knicks could get good and it will never be the same as the 90's even if they won a title because the game has changed so much. The year they had Jason Kidd and won 50+ games and lost to the Pacers in the playoffs that was not even exciting.
As A Knicks Fan, That Was An Ugly Decade
Spike Lee even made it to the bubble lmaoooo someone stop that man
I guess because they’re considered an “historic franchise” because they’re one of the NBA’s original teams and they play in New York.
When a washed up Marbury and Francis were in the backcourt that was a disaster waiting to happen.
💯
They brought us Nate Robinson as a Celtics can and although they fell short in 2010. He was huge. It all culminated with the moment where he climbed on Big Baby.
I don't care how bad they were, they still my team!
If you're including the entire 1996 class, including undrafted players, add Ben Wallace to the HoFers Isiah ignored
Spike Lee doesn't run the franchise. Stunt #1, #2 and #3 all go to James Dolan.
💯
People get confused because big market teams are usually big market teams because their team is successful so the Knicks being the legit biggest market usually makes people lump them in with LA and Boston. But The Knicks are not the biggest market in the NBA because of The New York Knicks basketball team. New York is a highly populated place for one thing. and also New York is just a basketball city maybe more so than any other. New Yorker's love to play and watch basketball. You look at the Rucker tournament. That started off as just a small Harlem game with local guys from the area. Next thing you know they made it so meaningful, NBA stars are coming to play in it. So you have a big city full of people, and those people hold the game of basketball in such high esteem. That basically means that even if New York lose they're still selling out every game, the games will always be heavily televised and the merch will still fly off the shelves, regardless of their lack of success.
Please NBA coaches next. Start with PJ Carlesimo
Them Knicks championships were so long ago Phil Jackson was A PLAYER
I just never understood the hype about the knicks. Then the phrase “basketball is just better when the knicks are good” that the media always says smh makes no sense
Rough times as a Knicks fan
How are you going to say the Knicks was 'never good'?!? They were championship contenders throughout the 1990s....are you serious?!?!
Worse than the Charlotte Bobcats... really
The real reason is ownership tbh
10:52 Spike had been going to games since the 70's. He saw the Knicks win their last chip in person. But you are right, he is a nuisance.
But not the main problem...
@@bamadredlok7725 No he's not. But it was an insult to injury.
Oh a whole franchise this time, nice
James dolan bro. Spike just a fan bro. James dolan signs the check
💯
The Knicks biggest issue is bad ownership (Jim Dolan). His bad decisions trickle down into every facet of the organization.
Why do people not from NY act like they know how New Yorkers think, that’s so weird but you only hear that kind of talk about NY
The Knicks are just dysfunctional franchise since the 2000s.
Can you do my favorite team Orlando Magic either the 1994-95 finals team, the post Shaq years, the Tracy Mcgrady era, the 2008-09 finals team or the post Dwight era I'm still trying to figure out to this day the real reason we can't win a championship or retain our superstars
Dolan deserves blame
Crawford needed a healthy Baron Davis type of pg instead of Starbury back in 07 08
I from NYC never been a Knicks fan they were worse in the late 70's early 80's before the fix for Ewing and I'll be honest Steff was being a bozo off the court Isiah got fed up covering his BS
As a diehard Knicks fan (since 1990), this video TRIGGERED me!
First off, Michael "the referee's pet" Jordan, should not have been given a chip in '92.
(Check game 7 of the EC semis. Every time he was touched, the refs blew their whistles.)
In '93, of the ECF, game 5, all of that swiping by MJ at Charles Smith, yet no foul called?!
(We all know had that been MJ with the ball, EVERY REF WOULD HAVE BLOWN THEIR WHISTLES!)
And finally, in '97 or '98, the infamous push-off of Bryon Russell by MJ, led to the go ahead game winner!
(Refs don't see shit most times whenever MJ commits violations/fouls.) #FUCKMJ
There's a lot of Knicks fan on here that can't handle the truth, LOL. Spot on with this video @stuntedgrowth
This on hurts. Thanks for covering it though. GO NY GO NY GO!
Damn you my friend haha I love penny ...and I love your channel
Jordan - 7 maybe 8 (at the most)... 90's Knicks made them fight for their wins!!! Also half of the Eastern Conference!!!
But I have to admit; Air Jordan & Co is how you build a team... Chef is another example; The Dream; Big Fundamental...
We have it bad when our best pick is Ewing (knees)
Jordan lost in 95 despite in the playoffs playing better than in 91 97 and 98 playoffs.
Isaiah Thomas drafted the talent it never came together
💯
Im from the city still in my city idc what nobody say bout my Knicks I’m still rockin wit the gang 💯 and we Slapping anybody
Ju Heard! Knicks up!
The Knicks are "storied" like the Cubs in baseball.
I wonder if Spike giving all the Knicks free copies of " School Daze " has anything to do with how bad they were??
Knicks are historical because they were one of the 1st 10 teams not for titles
Can you do Sekou Doumboya stunted growth
I hope to see them win in my lifetime💯🗽🔶🔷
The Bulls wouldn't have ever beat the Rockets even with Jordan, but it would've been a good series
That 2005 -2006 roster on paper looks ok but oh my
Penny and trevor ariza was traded for steve francis
Francis and penny never played together
thank you JC. all i can say
They were a lottery team but traded that pick for Eddie Curry lol.
When you said "if your 49 and under the Knicks have never been good in your life time" I literally laughed out loud in my office. Classic quote.
Its Cap though
Zeke to me was lowkey getting back at the Knicks for beating his Pistons in the playoffs in '92.
Just ANOTHER hit piece on Isiah Thomas. "Thomas posted an overall winning percentage of .341 as head coach of the Knicks, fifth lowest in team history." Who are the other four? Try doing a video onTHIS dude:
"In 2014, Phil Jackson was in discussions for months with the New York Knicks regarding an executive position with the team.[31] On March 18, he was introduced as the president of the Knicks after signing a five-year, $60 million contract.[32][33]
On April 21, 2014, over one week after the conclusion of the season, Mike Woodson and his entire staff were fired by Jackson.[34] The Knicks finished the season with a 37-45 record and finished 9th in the Eastern Conference standings.
On June 9, 2014, the Knicks hired Derek Fisher as the head coach. Fisher played under Phil Jackson as a Laker and won five championships together.
On June 25, 2014, the Knicks traded guard Raymond Felton along with former NBA Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler to the Dallas Mavericks. In return, the Knicks received Shane Larkin, José Calderón, Samuel Dalembert, and Wayne Ellington along with two picks for the following day's draft. The trade was the first one that he executed as a front office executive. On June 26, as part of the 2014 NBA draft, the Knicks selected Cleanthony Early as the 34th overall pick and Thanasis Antetokounmpo as the 51st overall pick, using the draft picks received in the trade from the Mavericks. The Knicks also acquired Louis Labeyrie, an additional second-round draft pick, after he was traded by the Pacers.
On January 7, 2015, the Knicks set a franchise record with 13 straight losses. The Knicks fell 101-91 to the Washington Wizards, giving New York its longest losing streak in the franchise's 69-year history.[35] This record was extended to 16 straight losses after the NBA Global Games loss against the Milwaukee Bucks in London. They ended the season with a franchise-worst record of 17-65."
Being a knicks fan is depressing. You dont see a light in the end of the tunnel and tunnel goes on and on and on.
💯
Around the same time other teams were winning multi-championships
I want the Knicks to do good something about playoff basketball at MSG is different
You called Isaiah by his FULL NAME lol that was one of the worst coaching moves ever in basketball
I think the ownership is more at fault for the franchise’s lack of success
NYK forever 🏀🏀🏀Forget all that cursed talk we came we saw we conquered💪🏾💪🏾James Dolan need to step down though that’s what you haven’t mentioned facts💯
Knicks Storied Franchise because they’re in a Big Market City that’s been around since maybe the 50s. That’s about it
You need to replace Spike with James Dolan at number 3. At least with Spike, Knicks were actually winning in the 90s. With James Dolan, they have been awful since he became the owner!
Starts (and ends) with dolan
Then Billy Donovan from the Thunder. 5 future hall of famers and squandered it all. He is the iceberg that sunk the franchise called the Titanic - OKC....Smh
