WHAT DOES KNICKS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

knicks

New York Knicks

The New York Knickerbockers, commonly referred to as the Knicks, are a professional basketball organization based in New York City, New York. The Knicks are part of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association. The team, established by Ned Irish in 1946, was one of the founding members of the Basketball Association of America, which became the NBA after merging with the rival National Basketball League in 1949. The team plays at Madison Square Garden, above Pennsylvania Station in the borough of Manhattan, and along with the Boston Celtics is one of only two NBA teams still located in its original city. The Knicks were successful during their early years and were constant playoff contenders under the franchise's first head coach Joe Lapchick. Beginning in 1950, the Knicks made three consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals, all of which were losing efforts. Lapchick resigned in 1956 and the team subsequently began to falter. It was not until the late 1960s when Red Holzman became head coach did the Knicks begin to regain their former dominance.
