🏀 The 2027 NBA All-Star Game
Sunday, February 21, 2027 at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona, home of the Phoenix Suns. All-Star Weekend runs February 19-21, with the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday and All-Star Saturday Night featuring the skills competitions. It is the fourth time Phoenix has hosted NBA All-Star and the first since 2009.
Madison Square Garden has seen some of the greatest basketball players to ever lace up their sneakers, and a proud few of them earned a permanent place in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Here is every Hall of Famer who wore Knicks blue and orange, the names that still give longtime fans chills and look just right on a jersey hanging in a fan cave.
Patrick Ewing: Inducted 2008
The heart and soul of the Knicks for over a decade, Patrick Ewing was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008 and remains the definitive figure in franchise history. He anchored the Knicks through some of their most competitive and beloved seasons, turning Madison Square Garden into one of the most intimidating arenas in the league. No player is more synonymous with Knicks pride, and his name and number 33 are retired in the Garden rafters where they will hang forever.

Carmelo Anthony: Inducted 2025
Though Carmelo Anthony is most closely associated with the Denver Nuggets, his years as a Knick were electric and meant a great deal to New York fans who packed the Garden to watch him score in ways that seemed almost impossible. Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2025, Melo brought his singular scoring brilliance to the orange and blue and gave the city some genuinely thrilling basketball memories. His time in New York was a real chapter in his Hall of Fame story, and Knicks fans who were there for it still talk about it warmly.
