New York Knickerbockers
 PROFILE
This enterprise gets its shorts in a bind when it comes to basketball. A charter member of the NBA, the New York Knickerbockers, better known as the Knicks, holds court at New York City's Madison Square Garden (MSG). The team was started in 1946 by Ned Irish, then-president of MSG, after New York was awarded a franchise from the Basketball Association of America (which later became the NBA). The Knicks were defeated three times in the NBA Finals during the 1950s, but with stars such as Walt Frazier and Bill Bradley, the team won championships in 1970 and 1973. Despite having one of the league's highest payrolls, the Knicks have failed to win a third. Cablevision owns 60% of the team; Fox Entertainment owns 40%.
