The New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association play all of their home games in Madison Square Garden. Madison Square Garden is the most famous stadium in, not only the NBA, but the entire word. The Knicks have enjoyed an incredible amount of success since going into Madison Square Garden in 1968. Since then the team has won the franchises only two NBA championships. The team has also won a number of Atlantic Division championships also since moving into Madison Square Garden. The stadium alone is one of the reasons that free agents love to go to New York. It’s one of the few places in the NBA that has an incredible history and a long legacy of being the best stadium in the league.

The stadium holds a variety of different events. Madison Square Garden has been the backdrop for a number of annual events like family and theatre shows, the NFL Draft, CBS Television’s Fall Premiere, and Con Edison’s Shareholder Meetings. Madison Square Garden is also the home of the New York Rangers and has had the distinct pleasure of having the Stanley Cup call Madison Square Garden home a number of times.
