New York Knicks Basketball

Manhattan’s NBA team has a rich history and new hope in recent years, thanks in particular to “Nova Knicks” players such as star point guard Jalen Brunson, tireless Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges, who all went to college together (and won a title) at Villanova. All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns is another key player. The team’s rabid fan base always makes a game at Madison Square Garden feel like an event. Keep an eye out for notables (like Spike Lee) who line “celebrity row” in the floor seats at the heart of the action. Following their loss last season to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, the Knicks will look to make another run in the 2025–26 season.
