History Of The New York Knicks

The New York Knicks, short for “Knickerbockers”, play in New York City’s famous Madison Square Garden. The Knicks were members of the now-defunct Basketball Association of America, which merged with the National Basketball League to form the National Basketball Association in 1949. In the NBA’s first ten years, the Knicks played in three straight NBA Finals games, from 1951-1953. They are one of only two teams from the original NBA that are still located in the same city. The Knicks won their first game against the Toronto Huskies, 68-66. The Knicks continued to field respectable teams in the 1950s, but witnessed a marked decline in the 1960s.

From 1960-1966, the Knicks finished in last place in their division each year. Two of the worst losses in Knicks history happened during this time: a 162-100 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, and Wilt Chamberlain’s famous 100 point game was against the Knicks on March 3, 1962.

The Palace of Auburn Hills

Since its opening in 1988, The Palace of Auburn Hills, or simply The Palace, is a sports and entertainment venue in Auburn Hills, Michigan. It’s the home of the Detroit Pistons of the NBA; since 1998 it also hosts the Detroit Shock of the WNBA. It was also the home of the now-defunct Detroit Vipers of the IHL (1994 – 2001), Detroit Safari of the CISL (1994 – 1997), and the Detroit Fury of the AFL (2001 – 2004). It also hosts numerous concerts and other special events that are within a limo or luxury sedan ride of most Detroit suburban locations.

Before the Palace opened, the Pistons had lacked a suitable home venue. From 1957 to 1978, the team competed in Detroit’s Olympia Stadium and Cobo Arena, both considered undersized for NBA purposes. In 1978, owner Bill Davidson elected not to share the new Joe Louis Arena with the Detroit Red Wings, and instead chose to relocate the team to the Pontiac Silverdome, a venue constructed for football, where it
