Knicks make surprising decision on NBA Cup banner

The Fan's Case for Raising the Knicks' NBA Cup Banner at Madison Square Garden

This win mattered because of who New York faced in the NBA Cup Final: the San Antonio Spurs, who had been the polar opposite of the Knicks since 2000, having won four championships. The last time the Knicks played a game this big against the Spurs was in the 1999 Finals, where they fell 4-1, kick-starting San Antonio's two-decade dynasty.

The Knicks finally won something. It's OK to celebrate.

It was during that era of the NBA in which the New York Knicks won their only two championships, in 1970 and 1973, meaning the only physical evidence they have of winning those titles are the banners that still hang in the rafters of Madison Square Garden (unless the team has a couple replicas sitting around somewhere).
