The Wizards/Bullets have had the two tallest and two shortest players in NBA history play for the franchise (3 are obvious to team fans, the 4th was Earl Boykins).

everyone knows the knickerbockers are a type of pants but the name has another link. It's the pseudonym of the writer Washington Irving, who wrote many classic short stories such as Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, but also wrote a book “A history of New York “under the name Knickerbocker.

I thought the name was based on this:

capitalized : a descendant of the early Dutch settlers of New York
broadly : a native or resident of the city or state of New York —used as a nickname

your not really wrong it's just the book is where the dutch new yorkers got it from.
'The name "Knickerbocker" first acquired meaning with Washington Irving's History of New York, which featured the fictional author Diedrich Knickerbocker, an old-fashioned Dutch New Yorker in Irving's satire of chatty and officious local history.[4] In fact, Washington Irving had a real friend named Herman Knickerbocker (1779–1855), whose name he borrowed.'
