THE KNICKS. A Charter member of the NBA, the knickerbockers played their first game on November 1, 1946, beating the Toronto Huskies 68-66. By the 1950-51 season, the Knicks had reached the NBA Finals. They would get to the Finals again in 1952 and 1953 but would not win the championship until the 1969-70 season. The stars of the 1950's teams included Dick McGuire, Carl Braun, Harry Gallatin, and the popular Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton. A former Harlem Gobletrotter, Clifton is credited as the first African-American to sign an NBA contract.
