I have no idea what a Met is either or why 2 negatives make a positive. But I can bet that if you robbed 2 people, you'd still end up in jail. LOL! So I'd avoid robbing 2 people.
Knickerbocker's are a style of pants from the early part of the century. I don't know why you'd name a basketball team after this though. Maybe Met is short for Metropolitan, or maybe they spelled mitt wrong and couldn't afford a reprint

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do. Think about that one!
