It's the oldest arena in the Association, built on the world's worst major train station & with a grand total of TWO NBA titles, both over 45 years ago. The seminal MSG basketball moment was Willis Reed scoring 4 points in Game 7 in 1970. MSG also hosts the NIT which has been utterly irrelevant for at least 50 years.
Basketball in NYC is an utter disaster on all levels. It's the only place that still has a ton of gyms with a running track above the basketball floor which prevents shooting corner threes.
NYC has a tremendous basketball legacy that's now nothing but a source of sadness to the many old basketball fans in the area. It's not unlike the Browns, who made their league's championship game 15 of their first 24 years (through 1969) and 0 for the past 50 years (although there was no team for 3 years). Success was SO long ago.
It's so bad for Knicks fans that BROOKLYN is actually having a fine season under the circumstances. The Nets were long famous for having an even worse ownership / GM / coaching disaster than the Knicks, and now even that is gone.

Have you seen the train station in Bratislava? It’s pretty horrendous.
