NEW YORK, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh off the Knicks bringing an NBA championship back to New York, a new chapter in the city's basketball story is set to begin with the launch of the Gotham City Bockers. Founded by Philip B. McDonald, M.D., the New York-rooted basketball organization is built on the principles of community, positivity, and purpose. Inspired by the legacy of Knicks basketball and the passion of one of the most dedicated fan bases in sports, the Gotham City Bockers represent the pride, culture, and spirit of New York both on and off the court. This summer, the team will travel to Las Vegas to compete in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) from July 22 through August 2, pursuing the tournament's $2 million winner-take-all championship prize while showcasing New York basketball culture on one of the sport's biggest summer stages.
