Get ready, New York! The Knicks are not just dominating the court; they’re taking over the city streets! In a stunning move, the city has temporarily co-named streets after the players, celebrating their electrifying playoff run.
This incredible gesture from Mayor Eric Adams comes as a direct salute to the Knicks’ incredible performance. The team stormed their way to the Eastern Conference Finals, marking their first appearance in 25 years and igniting a fire in the hearts of New Yorkers.
The city is alive with Knicks fever! The street signs are now sporting blue and orange, proudly displaying each player’s name and jersey number. You might even find yourself walking down a ‘Jalen Brunson Boulevard’ or an ‘OG Anunoby Alley’!
This exciting transformation recognizes the dedication and tenacity that have driven the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals. These honorary street names are up for the duration of the playoffs, so the celebration is in full swing.
The Knicks have captivated the city, and this move is a powerful symbol of civic pride and appreciation. Nearly 8.5 million New Yorkers, and countless others, are backing the team as they compete.
Remember last season? The Pacers dashed the Knicks’ playoff dreams in a tough seven-game series. Now, as the Knicks and Pacers face off again, there is an added layer of intensity and anticipation.
The streets are not only co-named after the players, but also include streets in all five boroughs and offer a reminder of the hard work and the journey the Knicks have been on. The full roster of 15 players will each have a street named after them!
