As someone who really likes basketball, 2 titles (in the same era/decade) is really less, especially compared to other big name teams in the NBA.
Even worse, the Knicks haven't been the contender since the end of the 90s. Really subpar.

And they peaked at the wrong time, when Jordan was in his prime, so there was no way we were going to get past the Bulls. The one year he retired for baseball we made the Championship and lost to the Rockets. It’s been a sad 50 year ride as a fan.

Look at all the cities whose NBA team peaked at the exact same time as Michael Jordan, with the majority not being able to compete post-Jordan:
• New York City (Knicks)
• Seattle (Sonics)
• Portland (Blazers)
• Phoenix (Suns)
• Salt Lake City (Jazz)
• Indianapolis (Pacers)
Reckon without Jordan, two or three of these cities would’ve had a basketball championship by now.

On the plus side, not really, they are only the 5th longest drought in the NBA. There is also 11 teams that have never won. And yes, they do suck.
