An NBA championship is not only the ultimate goal on every team's mind to start out a regular season, but also one of the toughest goals to attain, as only one of the 30 teams will hold good ole Larry O'Brien come June.
But the New York Knicks have been one of the most storied franchises despite having only two championships to their name (1970 and 1973). The Big Apple has been in a recent postseason drought and finished among the league's cellar, making it a big target for jokes upon the constant dysfunction.
Most recently, Tim Reynolds, a sports writer for The Associated Press tweeted that the incoming total solar eclipse is in fact more common than a Knicks championship.
Total eclipses are more common than Knicks championships.

Ouch!
Total solar eclipses are in fact more common than people think, occurring once every two-and-a-half years at any point on the Earth, but it takes 375 years for one to happen again at that very same location, according to Time and Date.
Monday's particular total solar eclipse is the first viewable in the United States since 1979, which proves more recent than the last time the Knickerbockers raised the trophy.
Twitter couldn't help but to make fun of this very fact and point the finger right back at owner Jim Dolan, who's been the target of Knicks fans' frustration for the past decade.
