Story summary

As of October 2026, the New York Knicks have not retired any jersey numbers since Patrick Ewing's No. 33 in what is now a 23-year streak under owner James Dolan. Ewing holds franchise records for points, games, minutes, rebounds, and blocked shots. The team’s high standards are exemplified by the presence of only two other retired numbers: Dick McGuire’s No. 15, as well as those of the combined starting lineups from the Knicks' championship years in 1970 and 1973: Walt Frazier (No. 10), Willis Reed (No. 19), Dick Barnett (No. 12), Dave DeBusschere (No. 22), Bill Bradley (No. 24), and Red Holzman’s career victories marked by 613. Carmelo Anthony, despite his significant contributions, does not meet the criteria for a retired jersey according to these standards.
