A history of Knickerbocker Leap Day games

It’s February 29 and tonight the New York Knicks will host the Golden State Warriors in a leap day game. Per Wikipedia:

February 29 is a leap day (or “leap year day”)—an intercalary date added periodically to create leap years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It is the 60th day of a leap year in both Julian and Gregorian calendars, and 306 days remain until the end of the leap year. It is the last day of February in leap years, with the exception of 1712 in Sweden.

Weird.
