Season of National Basketball Association team the New York Knicks

The 2000–01 NBA season was the 54th season of the National Basketball Association in New York City, New York.[1] During the off-season, the Knicks acquired All-Star forward Glen Rice from the Los Angeles Lakers,[2][3] acquired Erick Strickland from the Dallas Mavericks,[4] and acquired Luc Longley from the Phoenix Suns; Longley won three championships with the Chicago Bulls during their second three-peat in the 1990s.[5][6] In their first season without Patrick Ewing, the Knicks remained a perennial playoff contender, holding a 29–18 record at the All-Star break.[7] At midseason, the team traded Chris Childs to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for former Knicks guard Mark Jackson and Muggsy Bogues, who never played for the Knicks due to a knee injury,[8][9] while Strickland was dealt to the Vancouver Grizzlies in exchange for Othella Harrington.[10][11] The Knicks finished third in the Atlantic Division with a 48–34 record, earning the #4 seed in the Eastern Conference,[12] and made the playoffs for the fourteenth consecutive year.[13]
