Madison Square Garden — The arena is not unique in hosting two major professional teams under one roof, as other arenas like TD Garden and United Center also host multiple major pro teams.
Madison Square Garden — Characterizing the Knicks-Celtics rivalry as particularly intense during the 1990s is historically inaccurate because the teams did not meet in the playoffs during that decade.
Walt Frazier Era Dominance — Walt Frazier did not win the All-Star MVP and Finals MVP in the same season; he won the Finals MVP in 1970 and the All-Star MVP in 1975, making the claim of a single-season double incorrect.
Walt Frazier Era Dominance — Walt Frazier's number 10 was retired on March 2, 1979, but he did not end his playing career two years prior; he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 1976–77 and 1977–78 seasons before retiring in 1979, meaning the retirement ceremony occurred shortly
Pat Riley Coaching Tenure — Pat Riley officially became General Manager in 1995, not Team President.
Pat Riley Coaching Tenure — Patrick Ewing was benched during Game 6 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals against Orlando, not Game 4.

Dave DeBusschere — DeBusschere pitched in the Detroit Tigers' minor league system but never appeared in a Major League Baseball game for them.
Dave DeBusschere — [contradicted] tagline says 'back-to-back championships' :: The Knicks won in 1970 and 1973, which is not back-to-back; source says 'champions again in 1973' after 1970.
Bill Bradley — The claim that Bill Bradley is one of five players from the 1970 and 1973 championship teams to have their jersey retired is incorrect; only four players from those specific rosters (Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere, and Bill Bradley) have had their
