alex said the same thing...its not named after beer, silly! knickerbockers are the shorts that people wore to play bball back in the 1940s and such. ive never even heard of knickerbocker beer.

hmm... i'd always heard they were named after knickerbocker beer. This is what wikipedia says"

The Knicks, the shortened form of Knickerbockers, named for Father Knickerbocker, a popular symbol of New York, 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.
