Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knicks History

Beyond their Atlantic Division ties in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks and the Nets are crosstown rivals vying for New York City basketball fandom. The Knicks are a charter member of the NBA, established in 1946, and have been one of the hallmark franchises in the league with three NBA championships, most recently in 2026.

Meanwhile, the Nets were founded in 1967 in the American Basketball Association (ABA) as the New Jersey Americans, and renamed the New York Nets one year later. They were a dominant force in the ABA, led by Julius “Dr. J” Erving. In 1976, the Nets were one of four teams to be a part of the ABA/NBA merger. However, they were the only team required by the NBA as part of the terms of the merger to pay an “encroachment fee” to the New York Knicks. In order to afford the tax, the Nets had to sell Dr. J’s contract to the Philadelphia 76ers. Dr. J and the 76ers went on to several championship runs, and thus the rivalries were born.

Where Do the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks Play?
