The Knicks are one of only two teams of the original National Basketball Association still located in its original city (the other being the Boston Celtics). The Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League merged in 1949 to form the NBA. With 23 wins and 59 losses, the Brown-coached 05/06 Knicks finished as the second worst team in the league. However, they avoided losing 60 games in a season, which would have set a franchise low. They are one of only 5 current NBA franchises to have never lost 60 games in a season.

The New York Rangers (NYR) are a professional ice hockey team based in New York City. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Rangers continued to be Cup favorites in the mid-to-late 1990s, even landing an aging Wayne Gretzky, but they would fizzle out. Their 1994 stars were aging and many retired or dropped off in performance. After General Manager Neil Smith ran Messier out of town in the summer of 1997 and failed in a bid to replace him with Avalanche superstar Joe Sakic, the Rangers began a streak of seven seasons without making the playoffs. Towards the end of the 2003-04 season, Sather finally gave in to a rebuilding process, trading away Leetch, Kovalev, and eight others for numerous prospects and draft picks. Bure & Messier are now retired, while Lindros signed with the Maple Leafs prior to the 2005-06 season.
