The Knicks also reached the NBA Finals in 1994 and 1999, but lost both times.
Ned Irish, The founder member of the Knicks team, ran basketball operations at Madison Square Garden. He started the Knicks in 1946 as one of the 11 original BAA teams. His vision was to make hot cakes' synonymous with Knicks tickets. Joe Lapchick was the head coach in 1947. He led the team to five playoff appearances at NBA in 1949. The Knicks had a 36-30 win-loss record at the 1950-51 season and were also in the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Rochester Royals.

With guard Dick McGuire and center Harry "the Horse" Gallatin, New York once again advanced to the NBA Finals in 1952 and 1953, though it lost both the series to Minneapolis Lakers.
The Logo
The original logo of Father Knickerbocker, dribbling a basketball has seen many revisions. Whilst using the classic round ball logo, under which the Knicks won both their NBA championships, a second one ball in the box logo was used for Knicks tickets and club merchandise. The current triangular logo with three-dimensional modernized lettering was unveiled in 1992. It was altered slightly to include the word New York' in it.
