The New York Knicks moved up to third place in the Atlantic Division last season, but Coach Mike D’Antoni looks to better that in 2010-11.

The word “knickerbockers” comes from the Dutch term referring to the style of pants, rolled up just below the knee, that immigrants became so noticeable for in New York City. The name became so synonymous with the city that in 1946, when New York joined with nine other teams to form the Basketball Association of America, the predecessor to the NBA, the city adopted the term as the team name.
