The New York Knicks, once focused on acquiring superstars, have emerged as a formidable playoff team with a roster built on hard work and overachievers. Without a single lottery pick in their rotation, the Knicks have defeated the Philadelphia 76ers twice. Their success is attributed to their relentless effort, superior basketball instincts, and blue-collar approach. This scrappy mentality, reminiscent of the Knicks teams of the 1990s, has allowed them to overcome talent deficiencies and emerge as a team with a 93% chance of advancing in the playoffs.
