NBA Dynasty Series - New York Knicks - The Complete History
To call the New York Knicks a "dynasty," as the NBA has done by releasing the team's history in the "NBA Dynasty Series," is a bit of a stretch. The team has two titles to its name, less than any of the other four franchises (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers) represented in the series. Most seasons, the Knicks are mediocre at best, squeaking into the playoffs and exiting in the first round.
There are, it seems, some advantages to being located in the country's biggest media market. And no, I don't mean the possibly-fixed draft lottery that gave the Knicks the right to draft Patrick Ewing.
Whether the team itself is worthy, The New York Knicks: A Complete History is an incredibly in-depth release, with NBA Entertainment dipping deep into the vaults to come up with footage from every era of the team.
